Brisbane v Geelong as well as Gold Coast v Essendon postponedAFL says its priority is to ensure everyone’s health and safety
The AFL has called off its season-opening clash between Brisbane and Geelong as well as Saturday night’s match between Gold Coast and Essendon as Cyclone Alfred continues to threaten the Queensland and northern NSW coast.
The Lions and Cats were scheduled to meet at the Gabba on Thursday night with the reigning premiers to launch the 2025 season with the unfurling of their premiership flag. The two sides will instead play at a future date still to be decided by the AFL.
