Why Skilled Stad twice in a row?

Sometimes there are consecutive years of one venue - we had it at the SCG from 2001 to 2004 for example.

I have been critical if this policy for years. I remember Sydney playing 4 games in a row in the four straight seasons, (1997 to 2000 inclusive), at Princess Park against Carlton. It should be like the Davis Cup, where the Home and Away venues alternate.

Ah, yes but one of those was a five goal come from behind in the 4th quarter, so all is forgiven...

If the form of Sydney and Geelong continues throughout the season the Round 20 game against them at ANZ Stadium might break the ground's AFL attendance record.

I don't see the big issue. We play them at home later in the season.

I have an issue with it.

Something that went in the 'cons' column when deciding whether or not to renew my membership.

Shilled Stadium is 2 hours from where I live.
That's 4 hours travel for a 3 hour footy game.
No thanks.

Same same, plus having to pay extra for a reserved seat.

Well some of us like the easy travel to Skilled Stadium. Don't have to worry about public transport or parking or drink and drive, can leave home really late and get home quickly.
