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!

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
