Why put the Dogs-Swans game at 3.20 on Sunday afternoon when Marvel is free Saturday night?

The only reason I can think of is that they want to keep marvel open as a backup in case the Hawks or Lions game has to be relocated due to borders. Otherwise it’s a pretty dumb move

 

[GCS in 11]

We don't need Monday night football.

They can get a 100% crowd in on Monday night and only 50% on the Sunday, that’s the only reason it’ll happen next weekend.

 

[Pocket Terrace]

The fox article says Dogs v Swans to be likely Sunday afternoon, but then at the bottom of the article they have their likely fixture showing that game as Saturday night. Righto then.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Can I just say Essendon Adelaide might be one of the worst Friday night games we've had in a long time

at 540pm WST?

They've updated it in the last hour or so. They definitely had it listed as 3.20 before with the Collingwood-Richmond game 4.40. Maybe they'll update the article soon?

EDIT: They have 2 sets of proposed times at the bottom of the article. Probably stuffed up the copy and paste.

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

We don't need Monday night football.

only reason we're getting it is so that the restrictions in WA ease in time and optus can operate at 100%

 

[kickazz]

For crying out loud just release the damn fixture already.

If need be release version a and version b in case of lockdown/border stuff.

Stop ******* us around.

Would be shocked if the Brisbane game has to be moved, apparently the issue isn't crowds up here, but whether St Kilda would be allowed back into Vic. Considering neither state is under lock down I'd expect this to be sorted out pretty quickly.

Brisbane is still considered a red zone by Vic and there were cases there today.

Yes but all linked and the lock down is over, I'm sure it'll be a fly in fly out type of situation. There's definitely a chance the Vic Gov will put the foot down but would be pretty surprised.

The Vic gov have said they're not changing any of the zones any time soon.

The game might be played at Metricon but there's no way it is at the gabba.

Venue of the Adelaide-BRisbane game wasn't finalised until Thursday or Friday I think, so plenty of time yet.

Collingwood Richmond 4:40 Sunday apparently

If you told me in 2018 and 2019 that Collingwood would be playing Richmond in the dreaded 4:40 Sunday slot, I'd call the police on you.

 

[Rickee]

I can't see any way Brisbane can host St Kilda at the Gabba given Brisbanes status as a red zone for Victoria. I find Geelong being offered up as a venue to be an odd choice, they'll most likely either host at non Red Zone Metricon or switch the game to Marvel as a Saints home game.

 

[Rickee]

GWS V Gold Coast at Ballarat.

The locals would be excited to have 2 clubs steeped in rich tradition face off.

I'd be interested in going along out of pure curiosity, if nothing else.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Can I just say Essendon Adelaide might be one of the worst Friday night games we've had in a long time

Agree. This makes no sense.

 

[Plugger35]

Since we have the hardest fixture this year it's only fair that we get to play Brisbane at Marvel rather than the Gabba.
