TIGERS, PIES RESERVES TO BATTLE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Collingwood and Richmond will face off on Wednesday night, just over 24 hours out from Round 2.
But it won’t be the superstars in action, with a reserves scratch match to take place on the MCG.
According to Channel 7 reporter Mark Stevens, the two teams will battle as a test run for the AFL restart.
"Footy will be back at the MCG earlier than Thursday. Collingwood versus Richmond, 5pm bounce down, 16 a side game, an old fashion seconds curtain raiser 24 hours before the real one,” he said on RSN Breakfast.
Richmond is set to have 20 of its 22 Grand Final players in action on Thursday night, while Mason Cox is racing the clock to be available for the game on June 11.The prospect of further job cuts is causing the most anxiety in AFL clubs, according to Collingwood midfielder Taylor Adams.
As Adams and his fellow AFL players prepare to return to action from Thursday, he says the grim outlook for many club staffers is a chief concern. All AFL clubs stood down staff during the competition’s suspension amid the coronavirus pandemic.
AFL headquarters will soon detail a need for more permanent cost cuts with reports the soft salary cap, which covers football department spending, will be slashed by $3 million to about $6.4m next season.
“Obviously the job cuts has been the big one that everyone is talking about,” Adams told ABC radio on Sunday.
“And that’s probably the one (issue) that brings the most anxiety to people inside the industry, including players.
“Walking in that first day back after the 10 weeks off and seeing how many staff weren’t at the football club was eye opening and a bit of smack in the face.
