The Round 17 fixture is starting to take shape with Monday night football making a return.
The AFL confirmed on Monday night that The Eagles will host the Kangaroos at Optus Stadium next Monday night in order to allow full capacity at the stadium.
The fixture had originally been looking set for the Sunday but moving it back a day will allow the Wa government to permit 100% capacity.
“In Perth, we are looking forward to seeing a packed Optus Stadium after it returns to 100 per cent capacity on Monday night for the contest between the West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne," AFL Executive General Manager Clubs and Broadcasting Travis Auld said in a statement.
The Western Bulldogs clash with the Swans will be held at 3:20pm AEST on Sunday despite Swans coach John Longmire previously stating he was expecting the game to be played on Saturday night.
Brisbane are hoping to be able to fly back home Tuesday with their clash with St Kilda set for the GABBA. No venue has been confirmed yet.
That game may be moved to Metricon Stadium though if Brisbane is a red zone and Gold Coast is orange or green.
The GWS vs Gold Coast game looks set to go regional which is only fair given the likely minimal crowd expected to attend. That game will be at Mars Stadium in Ballarat at 12:10pm AEST on Sunday afternoon.
Carlton's clash with Geelong will be at the MCG on Saturday at 4:35pm AEST with Richmond vs Collingwood set for the Sunday at 4:10pm AEST at the home of football.
Melbourne will travel to Adelaide Oval to face Port Adelaide on Thursday night in a blockbuster primetime game.
The coveted Friday night slot will host Essendon vs Adelaide on Friday night at 7:50pm.
Hawthorn will host Fremantle at University of Tasmania Stadium at 1:45pm AEST on Saturday. Fremantle will return to Western Australia after the match.
