Play the grand final at a neutral venue.
I suggest Punt Road oval.
No AFL teams play there.

What happens if its 1-1 and the % is exactly the same? Away goals rule? **** that!
Yeah alright, can you also suggest a place for the 95,000 fans that wouldn’t be able to fit into the venue?

I reckon this has merit until you take into account what a previous posted said. What if it's sunny in Adelaide and the crows win by 30 points only for the return match at the MCG to be pissing rain meaning even scoring 5 goals is a challenge. It's just not fair in an outdoor sport.
Discussion over.

Just bring back the Grand Final Draw
I think this is a product of today's generation - no one knows how to accept failure. Their parents always shielded them as kids, they received participation ribbons, teachers have to sugar coat any criticism in reports and we even have no scoring in underage footy and cricket now days. People always want to blame others if they lose. Maybe instead of finding more convoluted ways to make things 'fairer' people people just need to accept things for the way they are, toughen the truck up and move on....

Wow, some people are really struggling to accept the fact that Richmond are the best team in the AFL right now.
Stop whinging and let’s give credit where credit is due to the team who best handles the pressure of the biggest stage of them all.
They have all year to prepare for the sport’s own colosseum that is the MCG.

And that's a bad thing, not a good thing.
It's like all the replays, camera angles and 3rd umpires that were meant to draw an end to bad umpiring in sport. Instead we have more scrutiny than ever (Hawkeye breaking at the Australian Open, T20 umpiring, goal line reviews).
Innocence was better.
Back when you just had to accept somebody's word and move on.

Never underestimate how strong envy/jealousy is...
I forget the exact stats but I think a home ground advantage averaged up to equalling about 3 goals, on average at least, and when it comes to the Grand Final that is not a small amount as it essentially means one team given a disadvantage the moment they set foot on the ground.
I mean there are 3 possibilities as far as I am concerned
1 - Leave it as it is, accepting that Victorian clubs will always have an advantage in the Grand Final.
2 - Have 2 Grand Finals, the first one played at the home teams venue, and then playing at the other teams home venue, continuing the score from the previous week.
3 - Literally have 3 games and the winner is the team that wins 2 out of 3.

It's such a terrible idea that I fully expect the AFL to seriously consider it...
No one is jealous of Richmond. I mean sure Adelaide lost in the 2017 Grand Final, but overall I would much rather be a fan of Adelaide over the past 25 years than I would a fan of Richmond. Adelaide has a certain amount of dignity as a club, never actively seeking out a wooden spoon.

OR the other 17 clubs try to reach the standard of footy set by the Tiges in 2017. How about that?
Nah mate Vic park, coz I want it so.

Yes, the standard of the other 17 clubs was pretty poor, I agree. Everyone in awe of the Tigers.

And that's quantifiable is it? Oh dear. Never, ever underestimate jealousy. It's such a strong emotion...
