My understanding is that it is an agreement or ruling that prevents AFL being played in Queensland whilst the Commonwealth Games are on. There is no AFL in Queensland for rounds 3 and 4I'm really surprised the AFL are allowing you 13 games at Perth Stadium with Gold Coast homeless for the first half of the year. Are there no ovals in Sunshine Coast or Gosford or Townsville they could use?
I guess they (AFL) don't rate your prospects but if you do a Richmond '17 or us '15 and have a good season out of nowhere they're going to cop a fair bit of heat for giving a Perth team an extra home game. I kinda hope you do, the fixture is a joke year to year anyway. Stuff 'em.
