Has that been mentioned somewhere? I would've thought the two Queensland games would be bookends with the Gabba being the first one for the weekend to give the oval a bit more of a rest.
The AFL confirmed Thursday night would be the opener. Tom Browne has alluded to Port v Geelong on twitter.
With Collingwood having to quarantine for 7 days on arrival into Perth and having only played last night it won't be them.
I'd say :
Port v Geelong - Thursday night
St Kilda v Bulldogs - Friday night
West Coast v Collingwood - Saturday ( Collingwood fly out on the red eye )
Brisbane v Richmond - Saturday night
