Nor should they, it’s Geelong’s home ground and they should be able to use it whenever they like (including finals).

I agree. Just as soon as their home ground has a closer resemblence to a normal footy ground.

    Don’t get me wrong, the advantage they have annoys me and the fact is totally tax payer funded as well but fair play to them.

    Putting COVID aside, the last time the AFL moved a game was in 2000 and that was only because the Docklands turf was unplayable.

    Clubs are wasting their time in requesting venue changes.

    Why the kerfuffle on this issue? Should Gold Coast have to move their game against Collingwood to the MCG so that 60K Collingwood supporters can attend. If the answer is no, why should Geelong have to move their games to that Essendon supporters can attend.

    Perhaps at some point in the future Melbourne will have so many members attending matches that we can lock away members out of our home games.

    As to why the ground currently only has a capacity of 21K after twenty years of constant redevelopment, you'd have to ask the state minister for pork barrelling.

    we could also ask the minister if there is any chance this century they could add some wings to the ground

    We've nearly played more games there than Geelong have themselves!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
