That Kardina Park final was meant to be at Etihad due to MCG hosting 3 finals that weekend (Haw v Syd - Rich v Carl - Coll v Port). If you remember Demetriou was having a spat with Etihad at the time so shafted them the opportunity of hosting it and moved it down the freeway.
When will the Richmond ferals **** off the main board?
2016 Geelong 2nd v Hawthorn 3rd Qualifying final played at the MCG .. why no Simonds Stadium?

Fair question that as well?
Something about fans from memory?
Which still leads me to believe some matter more than others and really the A in AFL is Australian, not Victoria only.
I know this is the bay but the real reason is this:
Vic team (Geelong) v non Vic team (Simonds)
Vic team (Geelong) v another Vic team (MCG)
It's about maximising revenue first and foremost always has been. I just laugh at all the Geelong fans complaining about having to play at the G when they bloody did it last year.

In 2013, Victorian teams finished 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th and 8th meaning all finals in week 1 had to played in Victoria.
Haw v Syd
Geel v Freo
Rich v Carl
Coll v Port
The MCG can only host 3 finals on one weekend, so the AFL had to decide whether to schedule the Geelong/Freo final or the Collingwood/Port final at Etihad Stadium, or go leftfield and give the Cats a home final at Kardinia Park.
Given that Freo don't draw a crowd in Victoria and there would be 32k people at Etihad or 32k at Kardinia Park, the AFL naturally chose the latter.
But don't let the facts get in the way of your persecution complex.
(My favourite Freo whinge is the one where they complain about having to travel "all the way" to Launceston, Antarctica for Hawthorn's home games.)
OP Deserves a Flogstradamus tag cause the inbred Tiger spitters keep stinking up the main board with insecure fap crap like this

Sympathy post for a 2017 melt thread that hasn’t even clocked over 3 pages.

Morans like Scrotum and Pixel are running the bay with their absolutely obnoxious, annoying and unfounded arrogant threads.
