THE Round 19 Geelong-Melbourne clash will begin five minutes earlier to allow Channel Seven to show the Olympics’ opening ceremony.
The start time for the match, which will be played at the MCG on Friday August 8, has been brought forward five minutes to 7.05pm.
At first Channel Seven was going to just leave it be, but recent results have suggested that the first five minutes could be the only time the match remains competitive.
I hope now just for the sake of a joke that the game is a long game
