Sorry but Hands Oval is not up to AFL standard even with the redevelopment just finished. It's in the middle of nowhere in suburban Bunbury, presumably the servo across the road will be doing the catering as there is nothing else around there. Anyone flying in from over east I'm sure will appreciate the hour long drive from Busselton airport (or longer from Perth) plus at least that much back to their accommodation - unless they are silly enough to stay in Bunbury instead of Margaret River/Dunsborough.
I hope Freo Oval finally gets a proper AFL gig at some point - the atmosphere in Freo before/after a game would be a cracker. Otherwise Arena Joondalup to lure a few Poms/Saffers in. Or even Broome - it would be peak tourist season and the Alice Springs model has shown a tiny crowd can still produce a great atmosphere. Could be indigenous round in Broome.
