If St.Kilda manage a top 2 berth, the final is here in Sydney. -
st kilda have to beat freo and make sure brisbane or port adelaide loose thier games one of themComment

I'd say a day game at the MCG as the interstaters seem to play at night for the Melbourne audience.Comment

It's pretty certain Brisbane and Port will finish top 2.
It will be an absolute disgrace if we have to play a home final in Melbourne.Comment

Agreed. I can't come close to fathoming why it is happening... I understand the contract is in place, but still just can't get my head around the idea.Originally posted by Captain

Ahhh welcome to the wonderful agreement the AFL have with the MCG, in this day and age of a supposedly national competition, it really is a dinosaur of the 80's.Premiers 09,18,33,05

I feel the same. Is there no option for the banking of a final allowing us a home final?Originally posted by stellation

They can, but then they have to make it up again at a later time... of course it could be made up if Victorian teams host games in week 2 of the finals, but that doesn't seem to matter.Originally posted by Beaussie

The thing that possibly gets me the most is that the banking last year that has caused the deficit was to accomodate the Lions so they could play at the Gabba, it looks like this year Sydney will be forced to play a "home" final at the MCG to make up for this on the same weekend that Brisbane play a final at the Gabba again...I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

What keeps annoying me is that all the media keep referring to possibility of a HOME final.
If it's not at Stad OZ, then it ain't a home final, morons!
At best it's a final on neutral turf (if we play the WCE there).
The only positive would be that we get a warm up run on the MCG for Grand Final day.

I'd prefer SCG or Telstra to Subiaco but if it's a choice between Subiaco and the MCG then I'll take the gay dame at the MCG any day.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

The AFL banked a final last year (and rightly so), but that doesn't have to be repaid till next year. There's no reason for shafting the Swans this year. And with 10 out of 16 teams coming from Victoria, under any balance of probability, the MCG finals would go into credit by natural means over any long-term scenario.
The fact that the AFL's in such a hurry to repay the banked final is bad news for the struggling Victorian clubs. The only logical explanation is that the AFL doesn't see a 10/16 Victorian balance being maintained, or they believe the current over-representation by non-Victorian clubs is structural rather than cyclical.
