Reigning Premiers Richmond and the Geelong Cats will face off for the first time since the 2020 AFL Grand Final in a Friday night epic at the MCG, as the AFL announces the fixture for Rounds 7 and 8 of the 2021 AFL Premiership Season.

The MCG will host three matches in each round, including two Friday night blockbusters and mouthwatering ladder-topping match-ups.
