Hawthorn’s season-defining game v North Melb in Launceston will now start at 12.30pm.
Was scheduled for 4.40pm.
TasNetworks staff responsible for fixing power outages are on strike amid a pay dispute - hence lights aren’t an option.

Richmond v GC pushed back 2.10pm to 3.20pm

SATURDAY'S round 24 fixture has had a reshuffle, with the clash between Hawthorn and North Melbourne brought forward to an earlier afternoon start while the Richmond and Gold Coast match has been pushed back to a later start time.

The changes were made because of electricity concerns at UTAS Stadium, where the Hawks and Roos were due to meet in the twilight slot.

However, the clash will now kick off at 12.30pm AEST to eliminate the requirement for light towers during the game, while the Tigers and Suns match at the MCG will kick-off at 3.20pm AEST.

The move will avoid three games being played at the one time, with Geelong hosting West Coast at GMHBA Stadium at 1.45pm AEST.

Carlton have full faith in Port by keeping half their side out this week.

Enthralling commentary, just remember dont use a metal whistle as an umpire as it can damage your teeth

Dees yet to receive a free kick

Did you see the free McCreery got for high contact after diving/going to ground and getting hit by Marty Hore's (I think it was) legs? Obviously diving into a players legs isn't a free kick anymore.

Also Pickett's high hit on Moore will attract MRO attention.

Genuine question.
How many footballers have been killed by lightning?

About the same amount of times I’ve rooted Jennifer Hawkins.

7?

Fair enough to go off, but just shake hands and start the off-season.

Just saw the Pickett bump, hope he doesn’t get games as there was nothing he could do as Moore went down the last moment.

Only thing he did wrong was trying to contest the ball, should have just let Moore get the ball

He's gone, they will replay it in .1 speed and say he could have done something else.

To be fair though he has got lucky in a few of his other reports
