The AFL have confirmed Fremantle will take on Collingwood as fixtured on Saturday at Marvel Stadium, however the start time has been brought forward to a 1.45pm EST (11.45am WST) bouncedown.

Originally scheduled to commence at 4.35pm EST, the game has been brought forward as the AFL made amendments to the round 15 fixture around the current Covid situation in the Eastern states.

In a statement, the AFL said the time change ensures Fremantle are able to return to Western Australia immediately after their game. On arrival to Perth, Fremantle will commence a quarantine period with permissions to train and play in line with Western Australian Government directions.

The game will be the first to be played at Marvel Stadium since round 10 as Melbourne emerges from its recent lockdown.

Crowds will be permitted at the game, capped at 25,000, and the roof at Marvel Stadium will be open.
