West Coast’s round 21 clash against Melbourne has been shifted, with the Eagles now set to host the Demons under lights next Monday.
The clash was scheduled for Saturday night at Optus Stadium but has been moved back to allow Melbourne to complete seven days quarantine in Perth.
Bouncedown will be at 6.10pm local time for the crunch match, which will be broadcast live nationally on Channel Seven.
Our final home game of the season has been moved to Monday night.

West Coast will be looking to bounce back from a bitterly disappointing loss to Collingwood at the MCG against the red-hot Demons, who thrashed Gold Coast by 98 points on Sunday.
The Eagles remain in seventh spot on the ladder with three games to play, while Melbourne sits in third – two points and percentage behind the League-leading Bulldogs.
The teams have met four times at Optus Stadium, with West Coast holding a 3-1 win-loss record, and the Eagles have won their past four clashes with the Dees stretching back to the 2018 preliminary final.
