The round 10 clash between Carlton and St Kilda has been relocated from Optus Oval to the Telstra Dome.
The start time being 2:15pm will remain the same for the May 30th game.
"The decision follows lengthy discussions with all parties and considerable cooperation from the AFL and Telstra Dome. Carlton has a Membership of over 31,000 and the continuing improvement of St Kilda is certain to attract a good crowd to this match and playing at Telstra Dome will ensure more football supporters are able to attend the match," said Carlton Vice President, Mr Graham Smorgon.
"The Carlton Football Club continues to be in a precarious financial position and it is vital for the future of the Club that we are able to take advantage of such an opportunity when it arises. Considering our current financial position the significant financial incentive for the Club to transfer the game is an important overall benefit to the Club," Mr Smorgon said.
