Well, seeing it is the AFL you don't sell it you share it. The AFL is, after all, a "Not for profit" organisation and is there for ALL AFL supporters?

Wanna guess how much I care what Eddie has to say about anything
This idea has probably been suggested somewhere before, but what if the Grand Final got expanded into a best 2 out of 3 over a possible three weekends.
Both teams playing will get to host either the first or second game, and if a deciding third game is needed it gets played at a venue in a neutral state, with a default to use the MCG.
That way every state can host a part of the grand final, whilst retaining a possibility for the MCG every year.
The AFL can get more money from ticket sales.
So if it is Eagles vs Swans, game 1 is at Perth, game 2 at Sydney and game 3 (if needed) is at the MCG.
If it is Adelaide vs Carlton, game 1 at Adelaide, game 2 at MCG, game 3 (if needed) in any other state.
If it’s Geelong vs Essendon, game 1 at Kardinia Park, Game 2 at Docklands, game 3 at MCG.
Melbourne vs Richmond, game 1 MCG, game 2 MCG, game 3 MCG.
Etc

Sure. Now tell that to every other non profit sporting body in the country. Like the NRL and the FFA who regularly sell events around the country.

It makes it standard practice in this country. I dont personally agree with sports selling fixtures, but governments spend and sports sell so here we are.
Geelong have a stadium
if we got a liberal govt in Victoria like NSW Each of the remaining Melbourne clubs could have a stadium each bough by the state.
then the mcg would be neutral with a few games rationed out to each club
