The AFL has today confirmed an updated Round 19 fixture with the Sydney Swans now set to face Fremantle at Metricon Stadium on Sunday, July 25 at 12:30pm.
The fixture was originally scheduled to be played at Geelong’s GMHBA Stadium but has been relocated due to the team’s short notice move from Melbourne to Brisbane out of caution to the unfolding COVID-19 situation in Victoria last week.
