Shannon Hurn’s career will end in the same fixture slot as it began – a Saturday night in Perth – after the AFL unveiled its final-round schedule.
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE FULL FIXTURE
West Coast will host Adelaide in the Saturday evening timeslot at Optus Stadium on August 26 in round 24, with the match looming as an emotional farewell to the Eagles’ games record holder.
Bouncedown will be at 6.10pm for the clash that is likely to attract West Coast’s largest non-derby crowd of the year.
Hurn debuted on a Saturday night at Subiaco Oval back in round five of 2006, booting a long-range goal with his first kick in the opening quarter to give fans an early glimpse of what would become his trademark.
