The clubs and players then have until 11:00am AEDT the following day to decide whether to accept the penalty on offer, or whether they wish to contest the charge at a Tribunal hearing. The AFL will formally detail all instances of whether cases will proceed to the Tribunal or not. There is no set day for the Tribunal to be held.

There are no players currently serving a suspension from the AFL Tribunal.

Perth to host the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final

The AFL has today announced that Optus Stadium in Perth will host the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final.

The announcement comes after the Victorian Government agreed to the Grand Final being relocated from the MCG this year due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic.

Higher ranked QF winner gets the Friday night prelim. Only times I can think of it not being the case are 2006 and 2012.

And the only reason this wasn't the case in '06 & '12 was that both instances were games at ANZ Stadium, which had NRL finals at the same venue on Saturday which took preference.

 

[Ron The Bear]

I guess a bye before the grand final eliminates the possibility of anyone missing out on a flag due to the new concussion protocol.

 

[Billy ray]

5:50pm local start on a Friday night huh. Niiice.
🏟 🏎

 

[dean33]

Everything but finals hey?

 

[Clark G]

Higher ranked QF winner gets the Friday night prelim. Only times I can think of it not being the case are 2006 and 2012.

In 2000, Melbourne got the Friday night PF and Essendon the Saturday afternoon slot despite Essendon being minor premier and Melbourne finishing third in the regular season. Also, in 2001 both PFs were played on the Saturday.

 

[GCS in 11]

Yep, playing in Brisbane has stuffed things up royally. Strict 14 days quarantine coming from from Brisbane so with a final there next Saturday night the winner can’t play in Perth for 2 weeks.
The AFL certainly are amazing at shifting the goalposts when it suits them

This is incorrect, Brisbane has now gone 22 days without a community covid case, once we hit 28 days the border to WA opens completely and the winner of the Lions/Bulldogs match won’t have to do any quarantine in Perth.

And at worst if there is a new community case in QLD (and they keep the game at the Gabba), the SF winner would fly to Adelaide straight after and spend the week there before the PF, and then only need to do 7 days quarantine in Perth.

But realistically if covid were to pop up here again the game would move instantly to SA just to avoid any issues. Basically the winner of the Port vs Brisbane/Bulldogs PF won’t have any quarantine in Perth at all

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Semi likely to be at 4:45 according to Sam Edmund

 

[Kim Hagdorn]

Perth are going to be great hosts for Australia's greatest game.

 

[dean33]

Perth are going to be great hosts for Australia's greatest game.

I think you’re right, really looking forward to seeing packed stadiums watching these finals. Let’s hope no outbreak happens and we can enjoy the atmosphere that’s created over there.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Wish the Victorian Government would just concede the Grand Final already so the AFL can give some clarity on if they'll play it on the 18th or 25th.

Think that will happen tmrw.

 

[Toump Ass]

Bit rough on the Doggies having play their semi and prelim at the opposition's genuine home ground, as opposed to Geelong/GWS who cop neutral venues.

Don't bet on it they made SA wait 35 days...

 

[Gordon Farkas]

Wish the Victorian Government would just concede the Grand Final already so the AFL can give some clarity on if they'll play it on the 18th or 25th.

This, of course, assumes that the Victorian “government” is proactive, gracious and helpful. All of which is somewhat unlikely.

And when the Victorian “government” finally concedes, it won’t actually be a decision by anyone, it will just be “a series of creeping assumptions.”

 

[Great8]

The airlines are predicting that Port will be in it. Have jacked up prices on flights to Perth already that weekend. Both airlines will put on extra flights if need be but at a price

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

I've already booked refundable flights and paid through the nose. Can't imagine what they'll be like in the event we win through to the Grand Final even with extra flights.

[PorcelainBus]

I always find it amusing that Airlines can put up prices whenever they like but there's always a public outcry over "surge" prices by Uber etc on New Years Day or Christmas . . .
