When they get up there and see that QLD is 30 years behind the rest of Australia they will change their tune :)

Dreamtime game to be played in Darwin

No official announcement yet but planning is underway, AFLNT staff have been called back in, NT Department of Health inspections occurring at TIO Stadium to determine crowd size.

Will be a minimum of 4000 but AFLNT hopeful of having 6000 approved.

With an election due up here on Aug 22, I expect game to be played before that date.

Can see bio security breach occurring with local mob wanting to hug Rioli and Dusty, they went nuts over Eddie last year.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Dont know but I reckon it will be in the first three weeks of Aug (see election comment above). I wouldn't be surprised if they make announcement this week when they release rounds 9-10.

With supercars on up here 8-9/Aug, my guess Sat night 15/8

HOBART will host up to four AFL games in the next two months.

The Mercury can reveal the AFL, the Tasmanian Government and Cricket Tasmania have reached an agreement that will see North Melbourne play possibly its full allotment of four games at Blundstone Arena.

Cricket Tasmania has allocated early August to mid-September to host the AFL games that will possibly see the Roos play four matches across a three-week block before the venue is returned to cricket operations.

North Melbourne will most likely hub in Hobart, with its opponents to fly in, fly out.

Tasmania’s borders will remain closed to at least July 31, but even if they do not reopen, teams may receive travel exemptions having been quarantined in Queensland hubs for some time.

Currently, Blundstone Arena can host up to 25 per cent crowd capacity (about 3000-4000 fans), but it is understood the Government is exploring possibilities of lifting this to 50 per cent should health authorities give the all clear.

North Melbourne is scheduled to play Carlton at the Gabba this Saturday, the last round that has been announced, and are yet to play Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast, Fremantle. Brisbane, Gold Coast, Collingwood, Geelong and Melbourne.

If the Magpies are scheduled to head to Hobart, it would be the first time Collingwood has played for premiership points in Tasmania.

Hawthorn, which has a contract to play four homes in Launceston a season, is also keen to host its matches in Tasmania.

Terrible news surrounding the Ablett family so it seems odd asking, but this is a football forum, have we seen the last of Gary Ablett Jnr?

Yeh, he has always said this was going to be his last year, but 2020 been such a crap year thought he may change his mind and go one more.

The photo came up on the news last night just as the barmaid was asking what happened to my son around Christmas, we both had pretty watery eyes immediately.

Ablett also a 1st cousin to Shane Tuck, not sure if they had much to do with each other, tough times for Gary for sure.
I would guess only way he plays again this year is if he can fly in and out from his home in Victoria
