<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0AFL<\/a> has confirmed dates and times for Round 24 of the season, which includes the Opening Round postponed clash between Gold Coast and Essendon at People’s First Stadium.<\/p>\n

The last round will open with Essendon and Carlton at the MCG on Thursday, given the Bombers will face the Suns the following Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Gold Coast will travel to South Australia to take on Port Adelaide on Friday, before heading home to host Essendon.<\/p>\n

Collingwood and Melbourne will play a double-header alongside the Suns and Power.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s trifecta of clashes won’t have large amounts of influence on the finals race, although Geelong’s clash with Richmond will be watched closely, given Jeremy Cameron<\/a>‘s push towards 100 goals for 2025.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s trio may have more ramifications, beginning with GWS and St Kilda at ENGIE Stadium, with the Giants likely to be vying for a top-eight spot.<\/p>\n

It will be followed by Western Bulldogs<\/a> and Fremantle at Marvel Stadium, and then finish off with Brisbane and Hawthorn at the Gabba.<\/p>\n

“Round 24 is set to deliver an exciting finish to the home and away season, with several matches likely to influence the final eight,” AFL<\/a> Head of Strategy & Scheduling Josh Bowler said.<\/p>\n

“The round will start on Thursday night and finish the following Wednesday to provide the Gold Coast Suns<\/a> and Essendon sufficient days’ break between matches, with their rescheduled Opening Round match being played during Round 24, in addition to their respective clashes against Carlton and Port Adelaide.<\/p>\n

“To avoid a clash between the Western Bulldogs<\/a>‘ Round 24 AFL<\/a> match and their Round 2 AFLW match, we have also adjusted the start time of the AFLW match between Richmond and the Western Bulldogs<\/a> on Sunday, 24 August, and subsequently the AFLW match between Essendon and the West Coast Eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The revised start times give Bulldogs fans the opportunity to watch both their club’s teams play on the same day, and we thank everyone involved in working through these changes.”<\/p>\n
