The 2016 Grand Final was played at the neutral MCG - neither the Footscray Football Club nor the South Melbourne/Sydney Swans Football Club play home games at the vanue.

The city of Sydney is only a 45 minute flight from Melbourne - it takes longer to get to Melbourne from the outer Eastern and outer Western suburbs.

I have never understood why AFL teams based outside of Melbourne don't spend the week in Melbourne for the Grand Final, as NFL teams do for the Superbowl.

What did you fly in the Concorde?
Most flights between Sydney and Melbourne are now about 75 minutes (slower than 20 years ago)if you dont sit on the tarmac for 15 minutes!
