The venue for the final match of Round 17 has been confirmed with the Brisbane Lions to host St Kilda at Metricon Stadium, at 7:25pm AEST on Saturday, July 10.
The decision to play the game on the Gold Coast was made in consultation with the Brisbane Lions and, while Greater Brisbane remains a red zone for travel from Victoria, it allows St Kilda to fly in and fly out of the Gold Coast via a charter flight.
Supporters who are based in Greater Brisbane are permitted to travel to Metricon Stadium to attend the game.
Round 17 and Round 18 fixtures are as follows:
Round 17:
Saturday, July 10
Brisbane Lions v St Kilda Metricon Stadium (SEVEN)
Round 18:
Friday, July 16
Richmond v Brisbane Lions MCG (SEVEN)
“We are pleased to be in a position to be able to confirm the times and locations for Round 17 and eight of the nine games for Round 18, providing the maximum amount of time possible for clubs to prepare and for fans to plan their weekends,” Mr Auld said.
“While the pandemic has continued to challenge us for multiple rounds this season, we are trying to provide supporters with as much certainty as we can to watch their teams.
“As we navigate the situation across the country, we will continue to work closely with respective State Governments, all AFL Clubs and other key stakeholders while ensuring the health and safety of the community remains paramount.”
Information relating to crowds and ticketing for the Round will be communicated as soon as those detailed are finalised.
