A mouth-watering fixture is set to kick-start the 2020 AFL season.
According to Sportsday host Sam McClure, Richmond and Collingwood will open Round 2 in a blockbuster Thursday night clash.
McClure also understands a Showdown between Adelaide and Port Adelaide will be scheduled for Round 2 after the two clubs were granted permission to resume contact training in South Australia from May 25.
"You can lock in June 11 being Collingwood taking on Richmond at an empty MCG – that is done," McClure told Sportsday.
"As is the Showdown that will be at some stage in Round 2."
The Power and Crows will remain in South Australia before relocating to player hubs in Queensland prior to June 11.
The AFL will release the first block of fixtures in the coming days.
