***UPDATED: Changes to game day presentation***

As a mark of respect following the tragic passing of Adelaide Crows Senior Coach Phil Walsh, elements of our pre- and post-match game day presentation have been altered. Similar changes will be made at all matches across the weekend, and have been embraced by all AFL clubs.

There will be no guard of honour, team introductions, or 60-second countdown pre-match,  nor will the half-time performance from The Pack mascots occur.

The Club’s planned showing of the animated movie HOME will still be aired in the stadium prior to the match.

Should the Western Bulldogs win, there will be no team song played in-stadium following the final siren, while the players our of respect will not sing the team song in the rooms after the match.

One minutes silence will be held prior to the first bounce and as such, there will be a new start time of 7:30pm.
