On Thursday morning we received official word from the Department of Health that we are unable to have crowds at Sunday’s Semi Final.

We pushed as hard as we could, exhausting every avenue possible, and are extremely disappointed by the decision. We’re currently in discussions with the APL as to what will happen with the fixture.

We’re disappointed that we won’t be able to play in front of our City family in our home Semi Final for the second season in a row, it certainly won’t be the same without you there cheering us on.

Trust that the boys will give everything they can to get the result on Sunday afternoon and secure us a home Grand Final, and then we’ll pick up the fight for crowds again next week.

You can watch Sunday’s fixture live and free via Kayo Freebies. It will also be broadcast live on Fox Sports and the My Football Live app, with delayed coverage on ABC.
