Sunday, July 19
St Kilda v Port Adelaide, Marvel Stadium (FOX), 1.05pm AEST
Richmond v Greater Western Sydney, MCG (SEVEN), 3.35pm AEST
Fremantle v West Coast, Optus Stadium (FOX), 4.35pm AWST, 6.35pm AEST
Port are the away team in round 7. With 2 "home" games in Gold Coast and the Showdown by that stage, they should have 6 of their last 10 at home. Similarly Crows should have 6 of their last 10 at home, not that it matters.
At this stage, Geelong v Collingwood at Optus are allowed a crowd of 30,000 on the Friday night, then the derby can have 60,000 on the Sunday as restrictions are lifted on the Saturday.
With Essendon playing the Thursday night and Melbourne on Saturday, expect the postponed game to be played the following Wednesday (July 22). Essendon will probably then play on the Sunday, and maybe something like Melbourne v Richmond on a Monday night so that Melbourne don't have 2 four-day breaks in a row.
