THE AFL has made multiple changes to the round 20 fixture with an under-siege Carlton returning to primetime for the first time since round two.
The Blues will take on St Kilda at Marvel Stadium on Friday night with the Bombers' season-defining clash with the Swans moved to Saturday night and to be played at the Gabba.
A venue for Gold Coast v Melbourne and Greater Western Sydney v Port Adelaide is still to be determined, but Tasmania will host two games this weekend.

It will be just the second time the Cats have played for premiership points in Tasmania after losing to Hawthorn at UTAS Stadium in 2007.
