Likely game time change

[Saintmatt]

Ol' mate Kane Cornes just interviewed Jack Steele on his show. Apparently our game is now likely to be shifted from tomorrow night to either a day time or twilight start time (something to do with accommodating Port's travel schedule)

Regardless, Go you mighty Saints!

[saynta]

f*** me, they are also talking about shifting the game to Adelaide.

'The league is working through government protocols about isolation as it assesses whether the Power can still fly into Melbourne on Saturday.

The game is slated for 7.25pm but the Herald Sun understands it is likely to be turned into an earlier fixture in either the 1.45pm or 4.35pm slot.

It would allow St Kilda to fly into Adelaide and out on the same day, or the Power to fly into Melbourne and get out by the Saturday night Adelaide Airport curfew."

[skeptic]

I don’t remember the last time anything was shifted to accomodate us

What a rort

It would be a massive advantage to Port if they do & knowing our luck it would not surprise me if they did .

What? So we might have to play them twice in Adelaide after them not playing here for eight years????

A flat no for mine.

Tom Browne reporting on Twitter that the potential move to Adelaide which was on the cards at one stage is no longer on the radar (thanks goodness).

foxsports reporting that we will play Port at 1:45 then jump straight on a plane to Perth after the game to quarantine for a week.

Phew...

[older saint]

I think the AFL have also looked forward , as well as $$$ , and said ok, Stkilda play WC somewhere next week, unlikely to be Perth even with our lockdown finished then 2 games in Vic so dont have to fork out $$$ in flights and accom - Port already due to fly and now save on Accom.

My guess will be WC in Adelaide next week as quickdraw McGowan will shut up shop again.

[CQ SAINT]

Its the home teams choice where they play.

Great news thanks

[longtimesaint]

Can’t see us flying to Perth on Saturday night or Sunday as WA has closed the borders.

[stevie]

Still unsure how port can fly in to Vic then out without qt anywhere? Why are footy teams exempt? Anyway I’m going to the lions Tiges game at Metricon tonight on a spur of the moment thing Haven’t been to a game for three years lol

[one point]

Has there been any official announcement of the time change from the AFL?

[tony74]

1.35

Bring it on! I wish we could be there.

I live in Perth.
Police Commissioner on the news said everyone wanting to come in after midnight needs to apply for a new G2G pass.
Normal folk- it's a gamble whether it gets approved. Then 14 day quar.

Footy teams have always gotten the exemption.
Not just that, but our guys aren't doing 14, they're allowed to do a 7 day quar.
Go figure

Why is there still no official statement

AFL App still says 5:35 pm my time (7:35 AEST)
Bookies still no odds at all

[sunsaint]

I don't get it
Surely this would be announced

[Sanctorum]

Foxfooty just confirmed 1.35 start tomorrow with St Kilda heading to Perth straight afterwards....but still nothing on AFL website!

[sunsaint]

Yep saw that too
Just strange that there is still no official
