Perth has pulled a Bradbury and is locked in to host Saturday night’s Dreamtime feature match between Essendon and Richmond.
The fixture was originally scheduled to return to the MCG after being played in Darwin last season.
But Victoria’s ongoing COVID-19 battle means it will now be held in a third city in as many years, in a move confirmed by the AFL on Sunday night.
Tickets for Saturday’s Dreamtime clash between @essendonfc & @Richmond_FC go on sale tomorrow afternoon.
Adults $35
Kids $12
Families $75— Ryan Daniels (@FootyRhino) May 31, 2021

Welcome to Country.
Thing is, some of the names for the event are a bit, well, let’s just say that one of them is ‘Dreamtime on the P’, to which Lisa said, “That is the most stupid thing I’ve heard in a long time.”
Daniels rattled off some other names…
