A decision by the AFL is imminent regarding the location of Melbourne’s Queen’s Birthday clash, but the Dees are not perturbed as long as they have one necessary ingredient.
Spoiler Alert - it's fans.
The AFL will announce its decision to move the Queen’s Birthday clash away from the MCG by Friday afternoon as its path to scheduling Round 13 games has been smoothed by strict player bubbles in Victoria.
It is understood the league will not allow the marquee Melbourne-Collingwood contest to be played in front of an empty stadium.
As Melbourne’s Covid-19 lockdown extends into a second week, the Adelaide Oval and SCG are leading contenders to host the traditional match.
