Why isn't the Bulldogs/Crows game at Etihad.

It should be. Maybe all the whinging from Crows last week influenced the AFL in that concession.

But rough you earn a home final and you don't get it.

LOL and Geelong have had one final in its home town despite earning a home final how many times?
Its a couple of kms down the river not 70kms up a highway.

Okay, so no legitimate reason then.

Most of the whinging on here was from non Crows supporters.

Because the MCG invoked their right to host it. The MCG has an agreement to host a certain ammount of games over a set period. With Perth hosting 4 finals and Sydney 1 final this year the MCG were going to be short on finals so they have demanded all Melbourne finals this year be played at the MCG.

Does that deal run out soon. I know they have the GF for a long time (and so it should, MCG is by far the best stadium in Australia)

I always thought Geelong should have been allowed to host finals at Simonds

The deal is 10 finals every 5 years, that arent the grand final which is obviously locked in there.

So they only need an average of 2.

They will get 1-3 easily depending on results this year, so the dogs really should be able to host their final at etihad

swans
adelaide

Perhaps they haven't met their quota from previous years??

Etihad holds a nudge over 53,000.

The AFL has said they expect the game to draw more than the grounds capacity, how? The Bulldogs, even with the bandwaggon full might have 35,000 supporters go and Adelaide would have maybe 15,000 tops go?

Play it at Etihad, if it's a sell out and people get turned away it won't be 12,000 getting turned away and give the Dogs their rightfully earned home final.

Another shit decision by the AFL this week.
