West Coast's round 19 clash with St Kilda has been brought forward and will now be played during Saturday afternoon instead of under lights. 

The Eagles were scheduled to host the Saints at Optus Stadium this Saturday, July 24 at 5.40pm but bouncedown is now at 2.35pm. 

AFL Executive General Manager Clubs and Broadcasting Travis Auld said the league would continue to make decisions that ensure the season continued to progress.
 
“We will continue to make changes that best manage the current environment, progresses our season and protects the health and safety of those in our game and the wider community,” Auld said.
 
“While the round in which some matches will be played has changed, our intention remains to complete the home-and-away season with the matchups as originally scheduled.
 
“The pandemic will continue to challenge us over the coming weeks and, as an industry, we will band together and remain adaptable as we navigate those challenges.
 
“As we have done throughout the pandemic, we will work closely with respective State and Territory Governments, all AFL clubs and other key stakeholders while ensuring the health and safety of the community remains paramount.”
