Words cannot described how upset I am that I can't use my gold MFC AFL membership even though I would've been front of the line. This might be the only GF and flag the MFC pull off in our life time and most of us will miss out because we live in the worst state in the world that has no idea how...

If wives, kids, grand parents, swimming teachers and nanny’s aren’t invited to Perth, then the Adelaide Oval will host the Toyota 2021 grand final. You can take that to the National Australia Bank.

Numbers are going to be much lower in Melbourne today. If they can get the mystery cases under control and essentially every positive case was in ISO in the days leading into 2 Sep, I don’t see a reason why the GF isn’t at the MCG.

All but 13 were in full isolation, so the number is a little misleading. The decision will be made on 2 September, which is when Melbourne either comes out of lockdown or has it extended. I expect the GF to be in Perth, but if we somehow came out of lockdown (which I doubt) then the GF will...

Not worth the trouble over a few thousand people. Just play the first final at the G in front of nobody. Some NFL playoffs were played in front of no fans earlier this year and the world carried on. I'm sure the AFL will dictate where we play after week 1.

If it goes to WA, hope someone gets a sniffle as far away as Broken Hill and McGowan pulls the plug on the morning of the game.

SA should be the option as it's the middle ground. It has a good blend of excellent stadium and very good capacity (only 5K less than perth). And it's border rules are nowhere near as draconian as WA in that it will likely open its borders 14 rather than 28 days after VIC's last community...

I expect the answer to be yes. MFC AFL gold members will likely get a ticket to Optus Stadium. But there’s no chance VICS will be permitted to travel to WA without doing 14 days quarantine. And that’s precisely why the GF should be moved to a state that is more likely to allow Victorians to...

Geez, if Optus Stadium is considered a better stadium than Adelaide Oval, it wouldn’t be by that much.

With all this talk about WA, why can’t it be in Adelaide? 1) Only 5,000 less capacity than Perth - tick 2) Much less onerous border issues - tick 3) Atmosphere would be just as good. Adelaide Oval when it’s rocking is like no other stadium in terms of a captivating atmosphere - tick

True, but history says a late season slip up isn’t the end of the world…especially with gun players coming back.

Not a disaster. A late season loss isn’t a disaster for a potential premier. Unless you’re Brisbane of 2001 or Richmond of 2019, it’s pretty damn hard to win a flag on a 12+ game winning streak.

But last year VIC was proper ruined between July and October. This year we've shown we can quash the virus (until it keeps coming back). If we go a month without a case, WA should open the borders to VIC, which is consistent to what they've done in 2021.

Yeah my post didn't age well. Now you WA people can gloat about it if that floats your boat.

I've got no issue with the grand final being played in Perth so long as Victorians can fly over for it and not have to quarantine for 14 days. WA opened their borders to VIC on 9 July which was 29 days after VIC came out of lock down 4. For WA to open their borders to VIC, we'd essentially...

I don't understand how WA is even remotely an option for the grand final. McGowan has twice this year locked fans out of Optus Stadium on game day with barely any notice. What a sham and an embarrassment to all concerned if WA recorded a case on the morning of grand final day and the grand...

How can they have it Perth when McGowan has called a lock down twice on game day with no notice? Imagine the embarrassment if that happened on GF day? If Victoria is COVID free in August and September then most of the finals will surely be in Melbourne. Why wouldn't they be?

Should be some next level entitlement next year as opposed to the buy one $120 lunch, get one free type of giveaway.

So non competing gold members were able to attend the GABBA grand final last year?? Hoping this is the case for this year as it's looking more and more likely the GF will be interstate this year.

Nar they'll move it to Surfers Paradise.

It was a woeful debut but I'm sure he'll be a future gun of the comp.

If you told me in 2018 and 2019 that Collingwood would be playing Richmond in the dreaded 4:40 Sunday slot, I'd call the police on you.

GWS V Gold Coast at Ballarat. The locals would be excited to have 2 clubs steeped in rich tradition face off.

I also doubt Port would select the MCG to play Melbourne. But at the same time, they might relish the opportunity to play a rare game at the G?? I'd expect that game to be played in Geelong or Tassie if Port are hubbing next weekend.

Is that a hint that Thursday night footy is here to stay for the rest of the season.

Hoping the game down in Geelong has some GA available. Would be keen to drive down to watch history (a non Geelong game)

Sydney V West Coast at Geelong is the quiet word going around. WC supporters won't be happy.

Absolutely. I can't understand posters here being concerned with a 4 day break. Where living in COVID times and we're barely able to keep the season alive given that state governments are shutting the border at the drop of a sneeze. If Hawthorn get a 4 day break, big deal. They'll probably...

Is it? Last year teams were playing Thursday and then backing up on Monday. In 2019 Melbourne and Richmond played Saturday and then backed up on the Anzac Eve Wednesday - in full length games!! Hawks on a 4 day break can and may very well happen. Plus you've been gifted an away Sydney game at...

Is a Thursday night game a certainty going forward for the rest of the year? I thought the AFL preferred not to play Thursday night games after the split rounds.
