IF anyone ever took QB from us there should be an uproar. We have played on 55ish QB's since 1936 (when it became a PH) and on a number of "June public holiday Mondays" before it was called QB.

Seems to me that the best scenario would be that the Dees vs Swans game alternate between Melbourne (MCG) and Sydney and that [on alternate years] the Western Bulldogs play Greater Western Sydney therefore ensuring that the fans of both cities get to see a Melb/Sydney rivalry 'home' game each year with no single team getting any specific advantage in the way of a permanent home advantage, gate takings etc.
