Surely it is a no brainer. If the club want it at the G we must go along with their wishes. Big deal if the seats are not as good for one week. As people have said on here they buy a membership and never see a game. It is a donation. Surely you can donate your good seat for an average seat for one game.

What's the point of playing them at the dome?

We wont do that in September.

Absolute no brainer, MCG by the length of flemington straight.

No brainer G

Head says the G
Heart says the Dome.

Apart from the ground capacity, I reckon the Dome runs rings round the MCG as a venue anyway.

I still prefer Ethiad . More atmosphere, better seating, especially for

reserved seat holders, better chance to win and give us confidence for the

finals. And will it really provide a financial gain? A lot of the extra seating is

taken up by the MCC and AFL members.

Nup what its really about is winning the flag IMHO and four points may be here nor there come the last day in September
We need all the help we can get and take every opportunity available towards that elusive goal
A big match at the G in front of what should be a huge crowd must only help in preparation for finals games there Especially as we play there only once (Round22 v the Demons)
So its a no brainer and the G for me !

Docklands

An 8 goal win at the docklands hurts them more then a 2 goal win or an honorable loss at the G

You think a 2 goal win at the MCG with a packed stadium isnt as good as an 8 goal win at the docklands. Surely you are joking. By the way why would we beat them by 8 at the docklands but only 2 at the G or even lose there. Geelong play every ground well and we need to play the MCG well.

IT"S not hard

Yep! Much softer surface than Docklands.

I vote the MCG.. You don't win Grand Finals at Docklands.
(I wish it was our home ground, considering the buggering we get from Collo at Etihad))

i think on GF day, they'd be more nervous knowing that we took them apart rather than fell over the line, the location would be irrelevant.

By the way, i guess u'd think we'd be perform just as well at Aurora stadium than the dome too???
it's called a home ground advantage because we play better at home

I'd rather beat them now and get the 4pts on the board

G
We need to play there every chance we get.

Solar · Post: # 741937Post **Solar** » Tue 19 May 2009 9:33pm

just curious, would they put aside an area for our social club members? Also will we have a function room for after the game.

would love the idea of another game at the MCG but can understand it if people don't like the idea of giving up their reserved seats.

Not as silly as it sounds....

It would still be our home game......reserved seat holders get their seats, flog off the other seats at a premium, not too many Cats fans in......would seem like a "home" game for us still, and we'd make $600K profit!

...slight issue is that 50,000 people would be locked out

bigcarl · Post: # 742047Post **bigcarl** » Wed 20 May 2009 12:08am

it has to be moved to the 'G if we keep winning. a complete no-brainer.

jonesy · Post: # 742054Post **jonesy** » Wed 20 May 2009 12:20am

If they do move it, will they keep the same days? They won't switch it to the saturday night will they? It's my best mates 30th on the saturday night and I'd be murdered if I didn't show.
He's going to be very dissapointed...
