Is that quoted by the AFL?
2013 was before pre finals bye and Thursday night finals. So not a solid precedence
With Thursday night finals, you can easily schedule 4 games at the MCG, one on each day.

Not an option. AFL have scheduled it at the G. Keep up.

Don't have a problem with it, the MCG has more of a finals feel to it than Marvel and it gives our players experience playing finals where the GF is played

It wouldn't. As has been repeated a billion times they have said they'll play a Sunday final if there are 4 games in Melbourne in the finals
How about u get your members & supporters to actually show up instead of whinging about it.
Then u wonder why people call your club insignificant

I really wish the AFL had scheduled our final at Marvel, our last home final was an elim against Sydney at Marvel in 2011. The MCG is basically a neutral venue for us given how rarely we play there, and we won't get more than 50k against an interstate side with a small supporter base. I can't see many AFL or MCC members bothering to turn up to it, either.
I'm going either way, of course, but I'd much prefer it was at our actual home ground than a venue we've played at no more than half a dozen times in as many years.

I thought they wanted to avoid the Sunday so they can have a flexible fixture with no sides having a 5 day break.

See you on the 9th green at 9
The Melbourne/Collingwood/Carlton/Sydney side of the draw looks spicy

Gifted? If you put us on Thursday then the winner of Carlton/Swans would get an extra days rest compared to loser of 1 v 4 which would be unfair to Pies/Dees. If you put us on Saturday it would create a 2 day rest gap which makes no sense either

That would mean the loser of Melbourne Collingwood would get 2 extra days rest compared to winner of Carlton/Sydney. Current fixture eliminates those significant gaps in rest days

Top 4 teams should always play first to ensure the loser gets more rest the following week. They should be given any extra advantage where possible for finishing up the top. How does a team that finishes 2nd or 3rd get less break than a team that finishes 6th or 7th? Especially when you consider if Port lose they don’t get home until the next day.Makes no sense except it’s the AFL, nothing should surprise me.

How about you get your supporters to see out the game instead of slinking away when losing
Funny thing is more probably left then u get to a game
When u schedule games on a school night these things happen - especially when it’s a dead rubber.
Pretty sad that u can’t even get supporters to show up for finals.
You will be out by week two, so at least u won’t embarrass the real Vic clubs for long.
Worked out well for everyone else, the 2 minnows play each other first up, so the clubs with real supporter bases can have more tickets moving forward.

Hilarious how you think by jumping on the bandwagon of a "Big 4" club you think you are somehow superior as a supporterFunny thing is more probably left then u get to a game

That’s because we are my friend “we can’t sell out the MCG, please let us play at the little stadium”
deadset, u guys need to have a good hard look at yourselves

Equally as hilarious are supporters from less historically successful clubs (like St.Kilda) thinking themselves more noble for supporting a 'battler'.
Most of us are born into the clubs we support.

Blues don't fear either Melbourne or Collingwood at the G. Juicy match up. Wouldn't want to be heading to Brisbane or Port.
