They think they're going to get more than that at a neutral venue?
They'll sell out Etihad easily for a grand final.

I'd assume they would move it to Perth. The FFA already have Subi booked for that weekend IIRC.
Many more soccer fans get to watch the "big game" and the bulldogs as a club make a better profit because they get away from that awful Etihad Stadium deal.
On the bad side the team has to drive 30 minutes down the road to play after a lazy 4hr+ flight, OHHH THE HORROR!!!!
Much Hysteria over nothing, I'm happy for us to play the dogs at the north pole, its just a regular season away game and one we should win blind folded.

The same day as our clash against the doggies, Richmond play Collingwood at the MCG. Surely they could move that to Simmonds and play the soccer at the home of football. Win win.
Issue for Vic Freo members potentially if this happens, as games at Simonds stadium aren't part of the membership. So unless a deal is made then we'd only get 4 games instead of 5.

Just like those annual percentage boosting wins over St Kilda at Etihad.

SouthernCross train station is next to Etihad, so just think of it as going to the game an hour early and getting home an hour late.As someone who has already bought airfares and accommodation for this round, I'd be seriously pissed off if this happened. Just need Glory to continue their march to a premiership and earn the rights to host the final.

Plus spending a little more loot getting there and back.
Only $6 extra each way.
FWIW i'm in the same situation as i have booked flights etc to Melbourne that weekend and have no intentions of going to that pisshole.
Its moot though really, the AFL has it booked. They aren't going to forfeit that booking for the frcken A League.
Hopefully it's not a night game though. V-Line don't send many late trains back to Melbourne from Geevegas. Meant we missed most of the last-quarter comeback last year against Geelong *shakes fist at sky*SouthernCross train station is next to Etihad, so just think of it as going to the game an hour early and getting home an hour late.
Thanks - just love it, especially Shane!Posting this just because it makes me laugh every time I see it.
