Richmond vs Geelong @ the MCG --- Round 19, 2021
« on: July 16, 2021, 06:28:34 PM »
GEELONG has entered a request with the AFL to have next weekend's clash against Richmond, scheduled for the MCG, moved to GMHBA Stadium.

The Cats have been fixtured to play their home match against the Tigers next Sunday at the MCG at 1.45pm AEST with the afternoon slot brought forward due to the Tokyo Olympics.

However, given the COVID-19 outbreak in Victoria in recent days and the possibility of no crowds being able to attend matches next weekend, the Cats have asked the League to consider relocating the round 19 clash to GMHBA Stadium.

The Cats returned to Victoria on Friday afternoon after dismantling Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Thursday night, a day after three games scheduled in Melbourne were moved to Queensland due to Victoria's COVID-19 situation.

Given our season is shot we should sell it to them for a return match at the G in 2022

its their home game mate.

Do you think the afl would have agreed for a change if the other way was around?

Fair enough too.

Don't care if we lose either.

Can still take the premiership cup with the team for a nice little tour.

 Bullocks

Who would want this in Victoria given how we have played there, let alone kardinia.

Explain why cats couldn't have flown direct to qld and us stay here? You know if you believe these clowns Victoria is unsafe isn't it? :lol

Don't think we any say in it if there are no crowds. I will say AFL should avoid empty stadiums as much as possible though.

Jon Ralph on Fox Footy said the AFL will oppose Geelong's request as the MCG has a contract.

RFC response:

The G just doesn't seem to do us any favours this season, the fortress has been well and truly destroyed.
