With Victoria on indefinite lockdown, the AFL has had to make some adjustments to the schedule. Fortunately, the league is going through bye season. For the next three weeks only six games have to be scheduled instead of nine. The only game that had to be moved was the Dreamtime match, which simply had to be moved to Perth.
Since Richmond is already in Perth, the league would like to reschedule their match with the West Coast Eagles up a week. Both teams were supposed to have a bye this week, but with travel restrictions it makes no sense for Richmond to fly across the country twice in two weeks. The Eagles have not yet agreed.
