1st Qualifying Final Sydney Swans v GWS Giants at ANZ Stadium

Take your red and white glasses off. Of course the Grand Final should always be played at the MCG, to suggest anything else is ridiculous. It holds 90,000+ and there's still not enough tickets for everyone who wants one

And? Homebush holds what 80k?

Adelaide oval 50k?

The new perth stadium will hold how many?

We are not short of modern boutique stadiums at all, yet the MCG is seen as this holy mecca.

Then as kilroyII says, the Hawks, Tiges and Demons need to find a different home ground to reduce their advantage of having played on the ground 8-12 times during the regular season vs, e.g., 0-3 times for WA, SA, Qld and NSW teams.

Stevie J can accept a 1 game ban..a 2 down to 1 penalty...

Graded as careless... careless because he didn't make sure it was so far away from the ball that there would be no vision of it.

Mummy cleared (of course).

I always thought it needed to stay there but I reckon every other year they could play it interstate.
I way more p*ssed about all teams not just us having to play anywhere other than home.

If your the better team it shouldn't matter that your opponent or all your members can or cant get tickets, first in first served.
If I was NSW based, id happily miss out on a finals game at the SCG instead of getting a ticket for that cow paddock
