Possibly the worst result for us as it will impact the WCE game.

No crowds at the Footy for at least 2 weeks.

We’re in the negative now

Not a chance Geelong drop a game like this. Us on the other hand …

Not the worst idea. I doubt their CEO will go for that. He's been pretty vocal on saying that the MCG should not be hosting the GF. We'd probably have to promise our next 3 matches be played at Metricon.

Definitely a mistake. Would be GC or Darwin (not very likely).

Only two games can be locked in: Fremantle v Richmond in Perth and Western Bulldogs v Adelaide in Ballarat, though whether that game is Saturday or Sunday remains up in the air. Foxfooty.com.au understands the AFL is set to have Carlton and St Kilda shifted from Saturday to Friday night and Essendon v Sydney moved to Saturday. Both the Swans and Bombers have both already had five-day breaks, forcing the AFL to delay their match by a day. All of Gold Coast v Melbourne, Hawthorn v Brisbane and GWS v Port Adelaide require a sterile corridor for teams to fly up and back from Victoria to Queensland. If not, the league may need to look at shifting fixtures from Rounds 21, 22 or 23. As things stand, the Demons can’t fly to the Gold Coast without quarantining, the Lions can come to Melbourne but would then be unable to go back to Queensland, while Port Power would be required to quarantine before facing the Giants in the sunshine state. There is also uncertainty over whether North Melbourne can host Geelong in Hobart as originally planned. The Roos remain confident but have received no official word. If the AFL succeeds in establishing a sterile corridor across Bass Strait, the Roos and Cats could fly in and fly out on the same day and play in front of a crowd. If not, the game would be in Victoria. Collingwood has been told West Coast will fly to Melbourne ahead of Round 20. At this stage, the plan is for the game to proceed as scheduled on Saturday, which would force the Eagles into home quarantine for seven days when they return home to Perth ahead of Round 21. The league remains committed to pushing through the season and finding ways to get the remaining four rounds completed. It could use the week before finals to reset and does not want to pause the competition, despite suggestions from Sydney they should consider it for integrity and fairness reasons. The official word from the AFL is the Grand Final will be played at the MCG. But speaking on 3AW on Friday, Gillon McLachlan conceded the game would only go ahead at its traditional home if it could muster a “decent” crowd. FRIDAY St Kilda v Carlton (Marvel Stadium) – Likely SATURDAY North Melbourne v Geelong (Blundstone Arena) – Uncertain Essendon v Sydney (Queensland) – Likely Gold Coast v Melbourne (Gabba) – Uncertain Collingwood v West Coast (MCG) – Likely Hawthorn v Brisbane (Adelaide Oval) – Uncertain SUNDAY Western Bulldogs v Adelaide (Ballarat) – Likely GWS v Port Adelaide (TBA) – Uncertain Fremantle v Richmond (Optus Stadium) - Locked
