20K still doesn't justify keeping it at the MCG. If it was 40-50K supporters, then ok.
Geelong finished higher than West Coast. If the crowd doesn't justify playing it at the MCG, Geelong should absolutely host it at KP.

This is peak Vic Bias. Basically, you are saying "Geelong should play Melbourne teams at the MCG and Non Melbourne teams at KP". Therefore not exposing yourself to the massive challenge of playing Geelong at KP but other teams do. AFL needs consistency on this, either all Geelong home finals are at KP, or all Geelong home finals are at MCG.
Yep, because the Sydney Showgrounds is a great place to show our great game at the highest level.No. Geelong is a s**thole and should not be used for premier events where the game needs to be showcased at the highest level.
Of course I would rather face them at the MCG. All 17 other clubs would rather it.If it is not our final and we didn't have the crowd numbers, sure why not. If we were any good, we would win there too.
Sounds like the West Coast fans are scared of the thought of actually going at GMHBA.
not sure, i think because it was just after Geelong had done major upgrades to Kardinia Park, they were granted a finals game, only because it was a low drawing crowd team in Fremantle.Any background on the Freo final there? '13 was it? How interstate teams have the Cats played against in finals at the G?
Brisbane played a home prelim at MCG.No they didn't. Finals don't care.
It's home state up until the GF assuming contractual obligations can be met, then it's "home" team at the G.
Top four gets you the double
4th can host 2nd in a prelim for example, ladder position sets the match ups and the state they happen in and that's it
I don't think they are saying that at all.
Geelong played Carlton, the Bulldogs, North, St Kilda, and Melbourne at GMHBA this year. West Coast should not have a problem playing there...

in hindsight i reckon the AFL regrets this, has opened up a massive can of worms, plus a whole lot of new found whinging and whining
The AFL wouldn't lock out 60K supporters. There's no chance of that happening.This is peak Vic Bias.

No one should have to play there at all if you have a situation where some get to avoid the trip and some don't in a finals situation.True Freo are significantly smaller than WC. Giants, GC, Port would probably have to play there too.
We did play them there also.

Geelong don't play West Coast at the MCG in the home and away season. Why should that start now?
i will be gobsmacked if the AFL allows the West Coast Semi Final to be played at Geelong next weekTrue Freo are significantly smaller than WC. Giants, GC, Port would probably have to play there too.
I am aware of that. I specifically listed the Victorian sides as the post said that Victorian teams do not play at GMHBA.
Most of those teams have played there this year. As well as West Coast. Should be at GMHBA based on that.
Umm I'm the only Essendon supporter in here and I definitely am not salty. I'd rather West Coast win it all again then any of the other Vic flogs.Lov'n the essendon salt, same 2 posters all over the board...PURE GOLD.
A week of his melts? That's only about 2% of his repertoire.No.
I want another week of Chris Scott melts.
