Richmond vs Adelaide @ Giants Stadium --- Round 11, 2021

[Andyy]

Oh FFS.

Here we go. Bye bye home games at MCG.

As if the season wasn't hard enough with the injuries and umpiring.

As mentioned on our news Richmond Adelaide is a significant chance in Sydney as a neutral venue.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The AFL is weighing up GIANTS Stadium as the venue to host Richmond v Adelaide on Sunday afternoon.

Foxfooty.com.au understands GWS’ home ground is the most likely destination if the game is moved from the MCG.

It would remain at the same time, 1.10pm.

This is laughable what how many cases 10 to 15 and we need take games into another state no wonder we're behind in covid response compared to rest of the world deal with it pathetic.

I heard the game will be moved to the SCG

[Fluffy Tiger]

My bet that the whole round and maybe the next will be postponed.

Richmond to fly up to Sydney at 4pm today.

Our match at this stage will be at Giants Stadium at 1:10pm on Sunday.

The AFL has a heap of contingency plans so things can change within half an hour including bringing the bye forward to next week.

Tigers preparing to fly to Sydney for Crows clash

Richmond are preparing to fly to Sydney later on Thursday with Sunday’s match against Adelaide set to be moved from the MCG to Giants Stadium as the AFL responds to Victoria’s escalating COVID-19 crisis.

While the AFL has not publicly confirmed its plans, Tigers assistant coach Adam Kingsley said Richmond were bracing for an imminent departure to NSW.

“I’ve heard the likelihood that it’s going to be moved to Sydney and we could potentially be flying out as early as today, but I haven’t actually heard that [for sure],” Kingsley told SEN SA on Thursday morning.

Okay this is changing by the minute.

SEN just said that Neil Balme is saying our game may be moved to tomorrow (Friday).

Gerard Whateley on SEN said his sources are still saying our game will be Sunday in either Sydney or Brisbane.

The question mark is the Demons have now gone into isolation (player was at an exposure site before knowing it was) so their game tomorrow night against the Dogs might be off. So that's where the thought of our game possibly being moved to tomorrow night comes from.

Whateley now saying because of Melbourne going into isolation, their match is in jeopardy and our game could be moved to Friday night in Sydney.

Whateley said Melbourne player was at a tier 1 exposure site so that means 14-day quarantine.

What an utter poo show

[Francois Jackson]

so is it official we are playing in nsw? A road trip might be the way to go.

At least gladys has a clue what she is doing

[mightytiges]

That's why we were in Qld last year .

If the Club had a choice I reckon we would've chosen Metricon in Qld rather than Sydney.

Not confirmation for our game yet but the AFL site is saying:

And Richmond's clash with Adelaide, originally scheduled for Sunday at the MCG, is set to be moved with Tigers officials bracing for the game to be played in Sydney.
