The Western Bulldogs will now host Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday, with the AFL announcing changes to round 21 of the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership Season today.

It had originally been scheduled as a Friday night match early last week.

However, due to last-minute fixture changes over the weekend for round 20 – including the Bombers’ game – the fixture has needed to be adjusted.

The Bulldogs and Bombers will now play off at 3.20pm on Sunday afternoon. It will remain a Channel 7 game.

Crowds will again not be permitted at AFL games in Victoria this weekend.
