AFL: Swans Chief Executive Tom Harley has endorsed the AFL's decision hold Opening Round exclusively in NSW and Queensland in 2025.
Bunbury in Western Australia will become the newest location to feature an AFL game after North Melbourne confirmed a three-year deal to play two games in the west each season, with no more home games in Tasmania beyond 2025.
Hands Oval, which has recently undergone a multimillion-dollar refurbishment, is the flagship ground for the South West Football League in WA. “The club began planning for our post-Tasmania future once Tasmania was granted an AFL licence. Having explored a number of options, this three-year agreement stood alone in delivering multiple benefits to the club, our members and supporters.
“Underpinning the club’s finances also enables us to refocus and invest in talent identification and fan development in our Next Generation academies.”
