*Bluey is set in Brisbane.

Okay Aussies, it is time for you to pack out Melbourne like Niner fans do at Levi's south.

There's a 19-hour time difference between the West Coast (Rams, 49ers) and Melbourne, Australia.

One idea that has been floated is the Australia game being played in Week 1, potentially even before the Thursday night kickoff game. That would give the teams a bigger gap before… https://t.co/rLBlWSHskx

They will need 2 weeks of recovery time, so if they're going to allow the 49ers to play week 1 down there, they better make it 2 weeks before their week 2 game.

Not Cool, as the NFL Schedule Makers have not been kind to the 49ers, as it pertains to the team' rest during the regular season.
Coming off of, or heading into: SNF, MNF, & TNF Games over the past seasons, the Niners have been one of the least rested in
the league. West Coast teams are already at a disadvantage versus Eastern teams, when it comes to travelling.
