As it currently stands, Melbourne will host just one final this year outside of the GF and none in week two or three. Ironically, it would be a team not based in Melbourne that would be hosting the sole Melbourne final (outside of the GF) if the Cats do hold on to their top 6 spot. I believe the record for least finals played in Melbourne during a finals series is two and that occurred in 2006 when all of the top four were based outside of Victoria and we saw two elimination finals hosted by the Pies and Dogs in the first week of the finals.
So, will the 2024 finals series involve the least amount of games in Melbourne ever?
