The AFL<\/a> has announced further changes to their round 19 fixture<\/a> as the competition deals with the evolving COVID-19 crisis gripping nearly every state in Australia.<\/p>\n

The AFL's executive general manager of clubs and broadcasting Travis Auld announced in a statement that two matches on Sunday have been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Geelong's clash against Richmond<\/a> will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground at 3.20pm (AEST), and Essendon will face GWS<\/a> at Metricon Stadium at 6.10pm (AEST) on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The latter match will make it a double-header on the Gold Coast with the Swans already scheduled to play Fremantle<\/a> at 12.30pm (AEST) on the same day.<\/p>\n

The move follows a massive schedule rejig announced earlier this week<\/a> which saw three three matches originally planned for Round 20 brought forward by a week to accommodate border restrictions.<\/p>\n

"We thank the four clubs, broadcast partners and venues \u2013 the MCG and Metricon Stadium \u2013 for their understanding as we finalised details for the respective matches to be played on Sunday," Auld said in a statement.<\/p>\n

"As we continue to navigate the challenges presented, we would like to thank all State and Territory Governments, the clubs, players, coaches, umpires, staff, AFLPA, broadcast partners and all the families for their continued patience and support."<\/p>\n
