Thanks to the AFL, I can't beleive they finally did something I agree with!
They have swapped the Lions game in Darwin, to New Zealand. The concerns for the Lions playing in Darwin, then Cairns, then Brisbane, still during 'summer' heat, were enough for them to change it.
Tho it makes you wonder doesn't it. They earn so much money, but didn't pick up a problem like that with the draw in the first place!
ps, my personal preference would have been for the game to be played in Victoria for our Vic based fans, but at least this is better than 3 games in the heat!
