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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
