Whycome?
The clash between the Giants and the Bombers, fixtured for Saturday afternoon, has also been discussed.
If there are more cases on Thursday, Essendon may fly in and fly out on the same day of the game, isolating from the general public.
Under other contingencies, the game could also be moved to Melbourne or Canberra.
A club source at Essendon told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald that they had been told a change to the venue was “highly unlikely”, but the AFL told them to be prepared.
It won't. It'll be Canberra.Hopefully moved to Melbourne!
Sydney COVID-19 case may disrupt this weekend’s AFL fixture
There are doubts over at least two games and Geelong players are being tested after playing in Sydney.www.theage.com.au
Not necessarily, Giants have Tigers at the G following week so they may decide to keep them here longer as is their thinking with SwansIt won't. It'll be Canberra.
Depends on positive cases in the next 24 hours or so I suspect.It won't. It'll be Canberra.

Melbourne is the worst case scenario. Maybe the AFL will move GWS into a hub situation in Vic/SA if the situation worsens..
One thing we learnt last year is nothing is off the table where Covid is concerned.
Because it's the easiest option. This way GWS keep their "home" game, there are no cases in Canberra and it doesn't cause a fixture reshuffle.We play the Giants later in the year, so why wouldn't the AFL swap the fixtures as they have done with Brisbane (twice) and Freo etc.
I vote move it to Canberra!
As Eth said the team is going to fly in and fly out – moving the time slot apparently means we can charter a plane to go there and back on the same day, flying back after the game.Timeslot bizarrely changed from 1.45 to 2.10 start?
