AFL announces 33 matches in 20 days

Rounds nine to 12 of the AFL season will be condensed and teams will play off four day breaks as the hectic nature of the 2020 coronavirus-disrupted season continues.

Matches will be played across Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania, with night-time double-headers a feature of the condensed schedule.

The two NSW-based teams, Sydney and GWS, will travel to Perth where they will play West Coast and Fremantle, as well as each other.

North Melbourne will temporarily relocate to Hobart and play two matches in rounds 11 and 12 — against Melbourne and Brisbane respectively — should the Tasmanian Government provide an exemption.
