Best of 3 Grand Final

[GVGjr]

Can someone please help me out with the logic of playing a best of 3 grand final series?

Surely this is a bit of American nonsense and not something that the AFL will implement?

Does anyone actually think it's a good idea?

Because more is more and 3x the ad dollars is worth more than 1x the ad dollars.

What anyone thinks has nothing to do with it.

Its a horrendous idea in a high impact football code. Even the money machine that is the NFL doesn't even consider it at any stage of their playoffs.

It's also a suggestion to appease the belly aching from the non-VIC teams about Victoria centric bias.

Lame attempt to hijack column inches in the papers before the draft

Re: Best of 3 Grand Final

So if they were following a rugby league state of origin format, the last grand final will have had one game in Melbourne (MCG), one game in Perth (Perth Stadium) and one game at a neutral venue ??? Adelaide Oval, Metricon Stadium, SCG ????

How stupid is that?

Speak with the Eagles players, ask them where they wanted to play the grand final this year ... every single one of them would say the MCG. It is the Mecca of footy for a reason.

Not actually serious right?

Did they ask David Stevenson for his next best idea after AFEL X?

What a pox idea.

Re: Best of 3 Grand Final

I think this whole thing was just a stick to the hornets nest to try to stir things up and highlight the inequity of always having the GF at the MCG. I don’t think too many people actually want a three-gamer.

There was also some mighty pissed off clubs that the AFL secretly signed off on lengthening the deal to remain at the G (till about 4090) without consulting clubs and with no one (aside Eddie McGuire) aware it was happening. Whether you want the GF to stay at the MCG or not, the way it was handled and the lack of respect afforded to clubs was very poor.

Nope, Hell no.

Did I mention No?

I want the GF to be a game where the pressure is high and nothing is left in the tank.

It’s just Footy reporters trying to keep themselves and the AFL in the headlines as it’s cricket and soccer season.

I agree. I have even changed my mind on a drawn GF. I think it should be sorted out there and then.

Re: Best of 3 Grand Final

How about the first quarter is played in WA, the second in SA, the third in NSW and of course the last in Vic at the G. That way everyone is happy.

That suggestion is just as absurd as a best of 3 GF.
