This an all-time derp comment - ONE person has suggested this and it's been almost universally panned as dopey.Ironic that Victorians call Perth and Adelaide insular but they all think the world revolves around Melbourne
Bizarre Geelong get home games at MCG to avoid fans being locked out but then there is outcry when someone suggests the Showdown be played there.
Not saying that all Vics think this is a good idea, but clearly a majority of them think the world revolves around them. The AFL and C7 obviously agree as they prefer to broadcast games featuring one or between two crap Vic sides instead of games like the showdown, derby and other interstate clashes into Melbourne.This an all-time derp comment - ONE person has suggested this and it's been almost universally panned as dopey.
Well done.

Why "clearly"?Not saying that all Vics think this is a good idea, but clearly a majority of them think the world revolves around them.

He goes on to sayThere are very few situations where I would defend Damien Barrett but when he is saying 'play it in Melbourne' he means televise it on TV to Melbourne. The Showdown is with Foxtel, so Melbourne will get whatever game is on free to air that night.
Classic that everyone takes one quote out of what he actually meant and runs with it. Although he has made a living doing that, so play on....
100% this, nothing happening you can chuck out as a scandal, say something stupid to get people talking about it.Barrett clickbaiting for ratings.
Both SA clubs want more games on the MCG, so there's a plus there. That should be fixed by every club gets at least 3 MCG games a year though.
Putting aside the SMA (SANFL) are greedy pigs who wouldn't give up a game at AO, the only way it would work is it'd have to be done at least 2 years, with each club the 'home' side for the MCG game one year, so they get a home AO Showdown the other year.
Not the MCG part. But prime time national FTA audience, for sure, there's no reason why the Showdown and WA Derbies shouldn't get the nod every now and then. At least while Friday night is reserved for supposedly "marquee" games (not something I like but apparently its a thing).MCG Friday night prime time Adelaide v Port Adelaide
Should it happen ?

Put him in the stocks.I'm ok with it. If a public flogging of Barrett is the pre-game entertainment.
