Why? Nobody goes to watch the footy at the Gabba at the best of times.
AFL will probably be handing out free tickets to locals to drum up a crowd.

Maybe you should learn English so your ramblings are legible.

Great decision, it was getting too repetitive always knocking the Vic’s off at their home turf eyesore.

So much this. I want to empathise with the WA folk, by rights in this situation they should've been frontrunners by a mile and the reason they're not getting it wasn't anything to do with them. But it's difficult when so much of the blame (and melts) here is so obviously misplaced that it becomes hilarious. The dye was cast months ago.
McGowan had an agenda and it's worked out really well for his career (and his constituents), but WA needed an Eagles 2018-esque comeback to get the GF and he still decided to "play hard to get".
Queensland gambled on the AFL, signalled their intentions early, and in doing so earned the right to jump to the front of the queue on something they'd never even be considered for normally.
McLachlan is essentially a lobbyist himself, his future bargaining position would be severely weakened by simultaneously burning the Queensland Government and publicly bowing to an apathetic WA one (McGowan). So he took the safe option and looked after his own backyard just like everyone else did.
Everyone involved looked out for their own best interests. Queensland won, Victoria lost badly, WA/SA didn't lose anything that they already had, the AFL scrambled to a lesser loss than was predicted in April, and West Coast flogs get to keep crying about "Vic bias" until the sun burns out.

In a perfect world, now that QLD is hosting, it would be an Eagles / Freo grand final.
Pity. Freo is gone, and the Wet Toast is sure to jump back into the WAAAaaaaahhmbulance now.
When they do, they can swap notes with Clarko over the injustice of Hubs.

Good to see theres going to be a full house at the gabba. That must be the first time in 15 or so years..
Or are the crowd restrictions going to limit the size to under 20k?
Either way it's a smart move by Gil, the money clearly isn't needed by the AFL.

W.A was not willing to pay (we already carry the country financially anyway)
If the AFL had any slither of integrity to think of healthy/safety and entertainment for the fans, it would have been W.A with a backup of S.A
The Gabba is a shit venue. Even Shitlaide Oval trumps it
Gil is all about the $. They went with the Gabba to get the most money out of it
Don't be confused with this being a WCE thing, its a WA thing. Only chance ever to snag a GF away from Victoria and after having the best ground...the highest support base for AFL, being a passionate AFL State and your arshat of a clown Gil still craps on us. Its a good way to turn us off footy altogether.
