Gold Coast, which will be funded to the tune of $2.4 million from the Queensland Government for its forced removal from Metricon Stadium until round 11, remain in the box seat to sell a home game to the Dockers in a departure from AFL policy forced by the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

This was in the link above.

Will that mean gold coast will play freo in perth as a gold coast home game.

If thats ends up being the case the suns really are generous club after all.
Clearly a tanking tactic on the Suns behalf.

Good to see the whinging (admittedly deserved whinging) from WCE has paid off for them. 2/2 games in WA.

Also, would much prefer that we didn't have to play in South Geraldton Joondalup as our 'home game.'
 
Just heard Kim Hagdorn suggest that Fremantle will get the opening round one fixture at the new stadium in exchange for having to travel in round one of the JLT series, whereas the Eagles don't have to leave the state during the pre-season comp. I can hear the blue and yellow tears already.

That's a bit of a long bow to draw.

We had all WA games this year. They went to Sydney
 
I like the challenge. Round 2 last year we were an embarrassment against Port Adelaide - now we get a chance to respond against a team who everyone will be wanting to watch because of their massive off-season. It will be huge for the boys and club to get a W here in vicious territory.

Seems like the Suns are going to play back to back games in Perth, either play WC in Round 2 or 4 and play you blokes round 3.

If you play the eagles in round 2, that is nothing to complain about, move along
However if you play the eagles in round 4, that is an outrage, the AFL are corrupt and handing the eagles 4 points.

We have the WA game in round 2 so if it's back to back games In WA for the suns it'll be R3&4.

Might of missed the point of my post, wiz, so I'll spell it out. It is seriously the stupidest fixturing idea I have ever seen. If the AFL actually do this to the Suns, I'll give up.

We can't play in QLD for 2 weeks cause of the Comm games, no other professional sport can be played there while it is on according to legislation. So we may as well play 2 games in a row in the one place to mitigate travel.

Props to Rosich and co. Have been kicking plenty of goals including being the first WA team to field a women's side and now this. We were always going to struggle to get the first game given it's the Eagles turn and we have been struggling on the field but this more than makes up for it. And also our training facility.
