This works both ways.Never change interstate supporters, never change.
Btw we had two home finals with massive hga because we won the majority of our interstate games this yearThe MCG is actually the most neutral ground for all teams and the fairest place to play the GF. Don’t know why people just can’t accept this fact and stop moaning.
WC had two home finals with a massive home crowd advantage.
It’s a VFL comp with guests invited.
We all know it so let’s just get on with it all live our footy loving lives.
A lot of follow-on considerations. Are away points worth more?
What if the margins are identical?
How does the AFL go about organising two grand finals when the sides are only decided a week prior?
Who hosts the first one?
Collingwood already lost to higher ranked West Coast in this finals series.What are you even on about?
My apologies. Considering less than 1% of my posts have been on the main page, I didn't know I wasn't allowed to make a thread like this.
I was trying to be inclusive. Guess not. Guess I will just stay in my place.
Great effort by the pies this year in all respects.Well done.Simply put though they finished below the Eagles and therefore don’t deserve a home state/home ground grand final.Same applies to all premiers since 2014.What should happen but won’t.Eagles should firstly boycott the Grand final parade...Instead March from AFL house to MCC.Embarass the AFL and MCC.Then with public attention all non Victorian teams should demand that within each decade 3or 4 grand finals are held at non Victorian venues.Optus and Adelaide are capable already of hosting.Maybe SCG in future if they upgrade.Not perfect but we won’t always get the 2014-18 situation where premierships are devalued (If Pies win)..
PleasantAh welcome back, how was your sabbatical?
Now your getting it
I still dont see what the crowd size has to do with it... when the majority of the viewers (and theres 10’s of millions of them for the GF) watch the game on tv screens. 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 200,000 at the ground makes not one iota of difference to whether these viewers are or arent going to tune in and watch...Not a fan, what if we dont meet Adelaide in a final fir another 40 years. Would the 2057 Tigers play in Adelaide? Its just weird.
I dont have a solution myself, but maybe one day when we have other stadiums that can accomodate atleast 80,000, the GF venue could be set at the start of each year and rotated.
An identical thread was made yesterday and deleted and probably 10 others before that! You do realize the Grand Finals in Vic until 2056? There's absolutely no point talking about it
Im happy for us to boycott handing you the cupMore then happy for West Coast to boycott handing us the Cup
Billions of world cup fansI still dont see what the crowd size has to do with it... when the majority of the viewers (and theres 10’s of millions of them for the GF) watch the game on tv screens. 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 200,000 at the ground makes not one iota of difference to whether these viewers are or arent going to tune in and watch...
And its from these millions of people tuning in that the bulk of the revenue the GF creates comes from...
For what its worth... the OP’s idea is a pretty good one IMO..
There is ever point as the MCG doesn't lose their Grand Final.
Regardless of where, the GF should be one game. Dont destroy the single event spectacle we've had for 100 years. It should never be a two-leg system no matter where its played.A fairer system would be to have two games to decide the grand final with one game always at the MCG.
Not as elegant as 1 game but fairer and you wouldn’t need to renegotiate that stupid contract. More fans would get to go as well.
I can already hear the whining from a very strong Victorian contingent of people
So basically you don't agree with the whole current final 8 system, including top 4 second chanceCollingwood already lost to higher ranked West Coast in this finals series.
I don’t agree with the finals system that Collingwood now gets another shot against West Coast.
Same thing happened in 2015 West Coast v Hawthorn, and has happened previous years before that too.
