Richmond CEO Shane Dunne said the Tigers had embraced the decision to move the game to the blockbuster Friday night timeslot.

“Moving Dreamtime at the ’G to a Friday night opens the audience and gives us a chance to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their contribution to the game on an even greater level,” Dunne said.

“As a club, we are incredibly proud of what this game has become, and it’s important that we continue to strive to enhance it. We feel that giving this premier occasion on the football calendar pride of place on a Friday night in Sir Doug Nicholls round certainly achieves that.”
