GOLD Coast's clash with Hawthorn on Saturday night won't be played in Darwin as originally scheduled.
The AFL has informed both clubs the match will be moved from the NT with contingencies being worked through on the possibility of having the game played at another venue.
However, should that not be the case, both the Suns and Hawks will have their planned bye moved from round 12 to 11.
