Cyclone Alfred has postponed AFL matches, including Brisbane vs Geelong, marking a historic weather-related delay.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred has forced the postponement of two key matches in the opening round of the Men`s Australian Football League (AFL). The highly anticipated clashes between the Brisbane Lions and Geelong Cats, as well as the Gold Coast Suns and Essendon Bombers, have been rescheduled for safety reasons. This marks a significant moment in AFL history, as it is the first time since 1963 that games have been delayed due to weather conditions.

The league is actively working on rescheduling these matches, with a potential plan to hold them during a bye week later in the season. Meanwhile, the rest of the opening round will continue as planned, kicking off with the match between Sydney and Hawthorn at the SCG.

The impact of Cyclone Alfred extends beyond the AFL, affecting various sporting events across Australia. Notably, the Ladies European Tour co-sanctioned WPGA Championship on the Gold Coast has been canceled, and a National Rugby League match has been relocated from Brisbane to Sydney. As the league focuses on player and spectator safety, updates on match rescheduling will be closely monitored.
