Agreed, we are playing for 4 points and we play our best footy at Eithad, so soccer can find another venue. In fact they can go to Kardinia Park

Ask for half million if they want it or to bad.
l prefer us to keep it and soccer to go where ever. It is footy season and the ground is ours.
Maybe soccer should start the season earlier or have a shorter season if they want the footy venues.

Have to feel for Victory if they are forced to play what should be a home grand final interstate. It's not their fault the A League have screwed this up.

I wouldn't mind too much if we moved the game to Geelong (or even Whitten Oval), if we were handsomely compensated. Ordinarily a game v Freo at Etihad means we would be writing out a cheque.

Compo helps fix it. Anyone know a good class action lawyer to negotiate for us?

[whythelongface]

Non issue as the Victory won't make the GF.

Loooking at the big picture, Victory should get the dome for a Grand final

AFL should not give into soccer. They could have booked the ground but they didn't.
It is Footy season now, let the A league work it out $$$.

PS. As you can tell l dont care for soccer.

Fair enough, I don't get this AFL v Soccer thing.

Short sighted view , and unfortunately it turns into a sporting peeing Comp.
Commonsense should prevail for all parties.

Why is it short sighted? My number one sport is AFL.

Yep, got to think about what's good for everybody. Would be short sighted not too.

I'd prefer we worked with Victory to try and sort out a solution that benefits everybody. We have something they want they might but if they are prepared to give something up then maybe we can change the venue of our game.
