Collingwood and Geelong are expected to be the first clubs to head to a Perth hub for three weeks, playing one another during a quarantine period and then both WA clubs in front of packed Optus Stadium.

The Pies and Cats will play their round six matches on July 9 and 10 and are then expected to join the Eagles and Dockers back in Perth for round seven, remaining there for three matches.

The AFL released the round six fixture on Wednesday night, with West Coast and Fremantle to remain in Queensland. The WA clubs will then return to Perth for round seven with the intention of playing a derby as the first game at the stadium this year with a full crowd.

Wrll we should be given no WA games next year

[buzzlightyear]

So, will the WA government now lift their ban on travel into their state?

[Jezza]

[Raw Hammer]

Good. We travel well. Gives us a test run on the same ground we’ll be winning the Grand Final at.

[Mr Miyagi]

Collingwood never travels waaah. They can all shut up now! Plus, both WC and Freo have SEVEN straight games in Perth.

Unfortunately big rumour the GF will be held in Perth or Sydney.

The Grand Final isn't going anywhere.

If it can't be played at the MCG because of Covid concerns, nobody will be playing AFL at all.
