Well in that case maybe in the not so distant future (maybe very distant but let's hope not) where almost every major AFL Stadium in each state can hold from 80k - 100k then it might be possible to have a roster as to which ground hosts the Grand Final. Somewhat like the Superbowl in the NFL, the AFL will pick a Stadium to host a GF no matter which teams play. I doubt anything like this will ever happen but if it were I reckon it would keep it fresh instead of the annual scramble to buy plane tickets because you're team is playing an interstate GF.Well short sighted government as usual out this way in WA.
Thats a definite no to the idea of moving the grand final a week before because two WA team got in. GTFO. The Grand Final should be bid on and set in stone years in advance. Perth will be upgradeable to 70-80, Adelaide Oval has the grass hill which could be upgraded to fit another 20k and then Sydney has an 88k stadium. A grand final should be played in all of these cities regardless if both teams from the state are in the GF. Come make the trek over here for a grand final week. You'll have heaps of fun like when interstaters go to Melbourne each year. Bring the game and the entertainment that comes with it to the fans in each of these states that can't afford to go across to Melbourne for the Grand Final.
