This is not having a go at the MCG or saying there is an advantage for VIC teams or the like.
I just wanted to know thoughts on interstate grand-finals when both teams contesting finals are from the same city.
This wasn't an issue when the MCG grand final deal was signed but not there is a real possibility of WCE v Freo, or in the futute GC v Lions, Syd v GWs and Crows v Port.
For me the Grand final its the best day of footy you can go to, and the more fans of the teams playing who can attend the event make the day better. (note: i dont really think a comment of "real fans will travel" adds to this discussion, I have been to two GF, but for example I dont consider myself a better supporter than a 65 year old retiree who has difficulty travelling! and could otherwise attend!)
Does anyone think this/or an alternative will be considered?
