It's ace that we've played more games on Adelaide Oval this season than the venue of our 'home' final where our opponents have played *checks notes* nine ferkin times this year.

Maybe we should ditch Ballarat and play a couple of home games at the G?

Damn these feudal overlords. I think it's time for a revolt. Let's embrace the fish wives of Paris' legacy and march on Versailles (AFL House) and walk the leaders back to Whitten Oval and imprison them in the elite learning centre.

Guy in Adelaide clicks thumbs down for this fixturing

Also, wouldn?t Thursday night make sense in Sydney given that the fans don?t have to travel?

Wait a minute- are the AFL about cash over what is best for the fans?

We have played 22 games at the MCG in the Bevo era.

Won 10
Lost 12

In finals

Won 2 (GF Swans and QF Hawks)
Lost 1 (EF Crows)

Only an average of just over two games per year.

In the same time period. The AWAY team Hawthorn has played 92 games at the MCG.

Come on guys. Anyone, anytime, anywhere. Hawthorn won't know what hits them next Friday night.

The top 7 this year are all pretty awesome compared to previous seasons (actually the last time the top 7 has been so strong was in ***checks notes*** 2016). Have a look at each of their W-L form in the last couple of months. Only Carlton have limped to the line of the finalists (and Sydney to an extent but they have found some form again in the last 3 weeks).

Have also lost to the Hawks at Marvel, might be better for us on the MCG. God knows we need the practice if we aim to win the big dance.

I completely agree but it also doesn't mean the afel arent complete money grabbers.

Bah.

There better be some furious lobbying behind the scenes to shift this whole shebang to Skinner Reserve.

It's their raison d'etre. Absolutely everything they do is motivated by this alone, so IMO it is wasted energy to get angry about it - it's simply what they do and who they are.

The clash with AFLW launch is disappointing, and we have every right to object. On the flipside our club sponsors will absolutely love the Friday night exposure in the EF.
