Thursday night’s AFL season opener has been postponed, with the threat of Tropical Cyclone Alfred forcing the call to be made two days out from Brisbane’s home fixture against Geelong.
It comes as Saturday’s game between Gold Coast and Essendon was also put on hold, leaving the league without two of its four matches for the opening week of the season.
It leaves Sydney’s SCG clash with Hawthorn as the new season opener, with Sunday’s GWS-Collingwood game also unaffected.
