With Hawthorn likely to be rewarded for finishing on top of the ladder with a Friday night clash against the Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium, the Pies' game had to be scheduled for Saturday or Sunday.
So they are going to move the NRL match? If the Bulldogs are saying they are prepared to move, one can only suggest that the AFL must be throwing them a bone. Highly unlikely they will move the date, just the venue. Friday night is prime viewer time for NRL and sponsors would not be happy if the game was moved from Friday night. They couldn't give a toss about the venue, as long as it is in TV.

Dear Stakeholder,
A scheduling clash has arisen for our Round 25 match against the Penrith Panthers on Friday 30 August with the Sydney Swans also booked to play at ANZ Stadium on the same day.
We are working with all parties on achieving the best possible resolution that takes into consideration the requirements of our football department, members, fans, corporate partners and the broadcasters.
We will be in touch as soon as we have more information.
Regards,
Raelene Castle

Friday night at Homebush sucks for anyone catching the buses. Sydney Friday gridlock. Never mind. I'll just leave a bit earlier this time. Other than that happy to go to the footy on a Friday night. Should be a big crowd and a massive national TV audience. Bring it on.
That is good we are scheduled on the Friday - gives us at very least the exact same rest (assuming we play Hawthorn again the next week) or more if we play anyone else. I won't be going up for it though, saving the pennies for the finals (think I might have enough together to do every week of the finals, no matter where )
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
