I'll start with Sydney

In 2004, Sydney and Essendon played a pre-season practice match in Newcastle and it attracted a crowd of 3,500 https://www.austadiums.com/sport/event/2094

If they did it would hurt their business. They want people watching old VFL videos, buying old guernseys etc At the end of the day, whether pre-1990 premierships are actually AFL premierships is just a matter of personal opinion, and not something that has a definitive answer. It's like how...
