The AFL have lost the ****ing plot, there will be 50,000 Carlton supporters alone.

Yet they play a final between, Sydney and Western Bulldogs at the MCG
is beyond me.
 
yeah not exactly what we wanted to hear.

waited 9 years for a home final, have a chance of getting one and it looks like we are going to play at that indoor stadium.

would give up the extra days rest to get the game at the 'G
 
A little bit of perspective here people. For Carlton to host at Etihad, all 4 finals need to be played in Melbourne, meaning Hawthorn have to beat Collingwood and Brisbane have to beat Sydney. Can't see either of these results going that way.
 
No finals game should be allowed to play at Docklands ..thats a disgrace . All finals matches played in melbourne should be played at MCG ..I cant understand why its not .. Its not like theres 8 melbourne sides in the 8!
You can play one on friday night , saturday arvo/night and sunday arvo ...its appalling !!!

Not true. If all 4 finals are in Melbourne, whoever plays Fremantle will play on Saturday at Docklands. Our only chance to play at the MCG is if we are against Hawthorn, or against Sydney (as a home final).

Agree with this. From the start of the season to the finish it's been pointed out that it's not up to AFL standard. They are risking ruining games that should be the AFL's show case events.

Thats the thing, it won't matter if there is an interstate game as they want the Fremantle game on the Saturday night ..................


If Fremantle loses to Carlton it will play on Saturday afternoon regardless of where the side finishes - it can end up as low as eighth - and who and where it plays.

They will also play the Qualifying finals on the Friday and Saturday nights to boost ratings, and will give them preference to play at the MCG.


This means that Fremantle WILL be playing on a Saturday elimination final, and IF it is in Melbourne then it will have to be at the docklands as the qualifying final will be played at the MCG

I would suggest that Sydney will host a final, meaning that if Carlton and Collingwood win over the weekend, threee finals will be at the 'G, and one will be in Sydney.

Um no ............

Collingwood will play the Western Bulldogs at the MCG.
 
Sydney will host a final as the swans will beat the lions this week. That leaves 3 finals in melbourne if we win tonight. All 3 will be held at the G. One on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Only way ethihad get a final is if all 4 finals are played in melbourne.

No the AFL will play 1 Qualifying final on the Friday night and the other on the Saturday night (both at the MCG) to give the looser the best possible break ................. They have also said they will play the Fremantle game on the Saturday irrespective of who is hosting it, so IF Carlton host Fremantle (which will most likely happen if we win tonight) then we play Fremantle in Melbourne on the Saturday, and the qualifying game at the MCG means it will be played at the Docklands ..............
 
All round good for Freo then, since they now treat the docklands as their second home ground.....
 
spoken like a man who has run out of come backs....

Only if Sydney play Freo. According to the AFL website, Freo must play on Saturday.
