why did scumwood get the MCG?

[Bunnerz]

shouldnt hawks be offered there preference as they finished higher?
there at the dome which they are not happy about,

would of thought the AFL would have offered the home ground to the hawks

interesting one.

maybe they think coll v syd will get a bigger crowd which they will, but fairs fair

Scumwood n Sydney should pull 60 to 70 thou. Dawks n Crows about 40 thou.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

I'd be filthy as well, Adelaide have won 8 of their last 11 at TD but have only won 5 times at the MCG since the '98 GF.

Punishment?

 

[Jason King]

The hawks arent the real deal anyway. It doesnt matter where they play imo, adelaide will strangle them.

 

[mb64]

Bigger crowd will go to the g.AFL made right call on this one.

 

[JPM]

Why... because they own it, 18 games in Melbourne this year and 16 of those were at the G!

They will be lucky to get a full house at the dome.They are playing an interstate team in Melb so there is plenty of advantage for Hawks.

Disagree. The Crows have a great record at TD. The Hawks, by virtue of finishing higher, should be able to play at their home ground provided it holds a finals crowd. The G ticks both those boxes. They have been jibbed.

If it was Richmond instead of Hawthorn I would be spewing if they made us play a final at TD after finishing ahead of Collingwood.

Nonsense yourself mb your the hard one
if Richmond finished 5th, Pies 6th and we were playing Crows at TD while Pies were playing at G, we would be shattered with the Crows good record there.

Utter crap.


Hawthorn have 2 home grounds, the MCG & Aurora. Finishing 5th, they should be entitled to play their home final wherever they please.


To suggest that the TD offers as much of a home ground advantage as the 'G to a team who plays most of their home games at the 'G is absoloute crap - Look at our DISGRACEFUL record there.

Rubbish,If we were playing in Melb I wouldn't care we we play an interstate side.

And rightly so mk33! Is just another example of the AFL putting themselves (and certain other teams) above correct propriety.

fair enough but I would imagine the club and majorty of us supporters would be disappointed

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Don't see why they can't play both at the MCG, unless the AFL have signed a contract to play at TD.

1 game has to be at the Dome.

Hawks should definitely get home game at G if they choose. Finished higher than Collingwood, otherwise what's the point of finihsing higher than the next team. If Collingwood finished 7th and say Saints or Bulldogs 6th, would the final be played at MCG or TD? Should be TD.

 

[mopsy fraser]

it`s the afl`s policy of maximising attendances.

you know, like scheduling the 2nd biggest pulling club in the league last year (richmond) to play at "massive" venues like kardinia park.
