Two more Victorian clubs will join Collingwood and Geelong in the Western Australia hub, reports Seven News' Ryan Daniels.
Those two clubs will head west after Round 8 and play each other in "lockdown quarantine" in Round 9.
They will then proceed to face Fremantle and West Coast in Rounds 10 and 11.
This will likely happen a third time, filling rounds 12 and 13 also. WA clubs to play at least 7 straight at @OptusStadium including derby.
Also means there will be some rounds in which WA hosts three @AFL games. Obviously, that’s never happened before.
