GEELONG will feature in consecutive Saturday afternoon games as part of the Sir Doug Nicholls rounds.
The Cats will host Port Adelaide on May 21 (Round 10) and Adelaide on May 28 (Round 11), with both matches to bounce at 1:45pm.
The clash with the Power coincides with the Federal Election.
It will mean three Saturday afternoon matches in five weeks for Geelong, with its Round 7 match-up on April 30 against Fremantle in the same time slot.
“Over Rounds 10 and 11, we recognise Sir Doug Nicholls and the impact he had on our great game, and we celebrate the contribution of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players past and present,” the AFL’s Travis Auld said.
“Sir Doug Nicholls Round is a highlight of every season, and it is more than just a celebration of the brilliant skills on the field.
“It’s great to see the Dreamtime at the ‘G returning to the MCG in 2022 after the NT and WA did extraordinary jobs of hosting the match the last two seasons.
“The Round is a further opportunity to continue to listen and learn from First Nations players and staff at all levels of the game.”
The AFL will confirm days and times for Round 12 and beyond in the coming weeks.
