AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon joins Premier Roger Cook, Sport Minister Rita Saffioti and former West Coast player Glen Jakovich to announce the State of Origin series will return to Perth next year. All three reports describe the announcement as part of the AFL’s planning for the interstate contest’s future venue selection. The coverage also notes that Dillon’s comments extend beyond the Origin location, referencing broader topics such as match logistics for major events, including flights around the AFL grand final period. In addition, the articles mention Dillon addressing the handling and treatment of Fremantle player Harley Reid, though the accounts do not provide consistent additional detail on specific measures or outcomes. Overall, the sources agree on the core development: the interstate contest is scheduled to be held in Perth again in the next edition, following the AFL’s venue decision-making and coordination with Western Australian officials.
