THE AFL has no plans to move Geelong's round 21 clash with Richmond at Simonds Stadium over crowd capacity fears.

With both sides now sitting in the top four, the clash looms as fixture that would draw a far bigger crowd than the 36,000-capacity venue would allow.

However, AFL football operations manager Simon Lethlean told SEN on Tuesday that the game would only be moved if Geelong wanted so.

"I don't think this would be a game that we would be moved given it's a Geelong home game. It's been fixed with certainty, so it's not on our radar to be moving it at this stage," Lethlean said.

"I think it's a suggestion that's not coming from the AFL or Geelong, and I don't think in my time we've moved a game.

"Geelong has a new venue, they have memberships they sell with seven (home) games, and we're supportive at this stage of supporting a club in their right to host home games once they've been fixtured.

"If Geelong came to us and said we want to move our home game to another venue that is available, we'd certainty consider it."

Geelong acting CEO Justin Reeves said on Monday the club had no plans to move the game against the Tigers away from Simonds Stadium.

"We doubt it could be done and we certainly wouldn't support it," Reeves told Fairfax Media.

"It's certainly the first we've heard of it."
