ah, yes, true.

It's a shame you can't take the family on the Qld trip now, but at least you will still be able to see the Roosters play.

Any reason why it's not being played at the Gabba now and has the West v Williamstown QF final date, time and venue been advised yet?

That would make the Freo/Port game the curtain raiser for the North/Labrador game :D

Still TBA.

That said, no mention of this latest change either (at this time), so who knows?

Wise move by those that have booked through their club, let's hope others have this or otherwise refundable options.

very frustated player who had to take 2 shifts off because of travel time. Obviously there not going to compensate the player but obviously he isnt as keen on the foxtel cup now that it has cost him over $300 in work he could have done. Also has a GF who had paid for flights up to Queensland for the match, he is still considering going up there for the weekend.

This is what they said in a e-mail today

Without notice or consultation, the AFL has moved the scheduled pre AFL game timeslot at the Gabba to AAMI. Now the game shall be played AFTER the Power/ Freemantle fixture on May 21 commencing at 5.05pm. The AFL cited ground conditions as the reason for the change.

For Members who have acted in good faith and made private travel arrangements, your point of reference is the AFL. The Club will contact those members who booked a package promoted through Airport Travel. We shall in turn forward same to the AFL for consideration.
