West Coast's AFL clash with North Melbourne is set to be played next Monday night at the 60,000-seat Optus Stadium to allow for a capacity crowd to attend.
The Eagles were forced to play in an empty stadium when they hosted the Western Bulldogs eight days ago following a COVID-19 scare in Perth.
The crowd capacity for any sporting fixtures or concerts this weekend in Perth will be capped at 50 per cent.
But if all goes to plan, Western Australia premier Mark McGowan will further ease restrictions from next Monday, meaning a full crowd will be able to attend the West Coast versus North Melbourne match.
The AFL is set to announce its full round 17 schedule by the end of Monday.
A range of interstate travel restrictions have produced hurdles that the league is still trying to navigate, while exemptions from state governments must be secured if some matches are to go ahead as planned.
As it stands, the top-four showdown between Port Adelaide and Melbourne at Adelaide Oval on Thursday night is the only match confirmed.
Essendon and Adelaide are preparing for a Marvel Stadium encounter on Friday night, while Sydney believe they will take on the Western Bulldogs at the Docklands venue on Saturday night.
GWS and Gold Coast are set to play in regional Victoria, while Hawthorn are scheduled to play Fremantle in Launceston.
The Dockers were unable to secure a travel exemption from the Tasmanian government last week but have since spent a week in Melbourne and expect they will now be given the green light.
The Brisbane-St Kilda (Gabba) fixture is still being worked out.
Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge said logistical issues around the fixture uncertainty on a week-by-week basis had thrown up challenges for clubs.
"This one's probably as late as it's been, I would think," Beveridge said after the win over the Kangaroos on Sunday.
"We've sent out our schedule to our people in anticipation of when (our match) might be and we've probably tried to cater for the possibility of Saturday or Sunday, and we'll just be ready for either."
Geelong are preparing to take on Carlton at the MCG on Saturday, which would likely mean a Richmond-Collingwood showdown at the same ground on Sunday.
Cats coach Chris Scott said his players were "ready" for whatever was thrown at them.
"I don't want to sound like a sycophant ... but we just acknowledge the role that those decision makers have got to play under extreme pressure," Scott said after the win over Essendon last Friday night.
"The last thing they need is clubs kicking up a stink because they don't get exactly what they want.
"I hope that's not a licence for them to screw us, but they could ask us to do anything now and we'd do it."
