As an MCC member I insist on the right of deciding to go or not on the day. Usually not.

If they played it at the MCG with no crowd, it would be an MT Grand Final.

Fantastic idea.  Can you imagine it.  

A Great “Australian “ atmosphere.  
The big corporate high flyers and politicians mixing it with the barefoot and blue singlet brigade.

From the man who told us that “Chinese Food in China, tastes like Chinese Food...”

Not the sharpest tool

Big health risk having the GF over there, which would be looked at fairly closely by Health NT and Federal Body as well....

How about if they just decked  the mcg out with nothing but spacious corporate boxes for the granny?

That's more in the murderer's style.

October in the NT...yeah sure!!...

Darwin: We have had enough experience with how humid it is in June/July....only the locals know how bad it is in the buildup to the monsoon season, by October.

You can't play during the day regardless, because of the heat, so it could only be at night. ( this might suit the broadcasters). 

Alice: too hot by that time.

IF it come to that,  I like it.!

IF it must be played with no supporters...  or only a small crowd;   then Play the Granny in   The-RED-Centre  of Australia.

Peoples Red-Centres are in their hearts,  'dc'.  its called love, sharing, kindness, and no greed or self-centre.

 If this comes to fruition, we're happy to attend and provide a detailed report. With two provisos;

1. Demonland provides us with AFL accredited press passes (expect it will RSVP invitation only event)

2.  Our 'chesty bonds' must have a prominent red V. (thongs are of course de rigueur)

Isn’t that your pasty, sunburnt chest above the blue singlet enough?

SA tourism should be trying it on.  SA has nil cases. Adelaide Oval. 50,000 people.

Pre game temp checks. Covid tests at least 48 hours prior for all media, dignitaries, spectators and team staff, players etc.  Create a SA Bubble.

 If it’s not spectacular and spectators at the G, then Adelaide Oval might do.  
and btw I hate the Crows and Power.

Totally agree, WA as well should be considered. I’m not sure how keen they will be to have thousands of travelling fans coming to the games though. Could well be that it has to be locals only which (should it be a local team playing) will make it a one sided home game, which they would argue they have had to deal with all this time. Difference being they have been afforded the chance to go watch if they can get a ticket. 

EDIT just to add though, I will take a one sided crowd GF over an empty MCG GF.

never say never but I think we can rule out 50k people at the Adelaide Oval come October.
