Metricon, Gabba or Adelaide?

Post: # 1870617Post StPeter »

If we play the Bulldogs we have choice of venue I think.

Do we choose Metricon or Gabba?

And if Collingwood finish 6th where will they choose?

Or from left field, might we choose in Adelaide since we won both our games there?

I think the AFL chooses.
Only Port Adealaide, West Coast and Brisbane get to choose their venue.

If we do get to choose definitely Gabba.

We are a side that is expected not to deliver. Now is the time for the Hot Gospeller. Will it be Ratts? He has that pedigree to some extent. The time now is to pay the price.

i think the higher finishing team gets to choose subject to AFL approval within the Covid limitations.

We play better at the Gabba and it’s an hour less on the bus.

Ratten said it all in the presser. We choose the Gabba but we are ready to go anybody, anywhere, anytime.

100% strike rate at Adelaide Oval this year. Let’s drag them over to SA. I believe it is an option.

Yep

Assumed it was based on distance to Noosa. Would it be anything to do with ground dimensions?


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Gabba all day.

I don’t think we’ve played one good game at Metricon since we went north.

That’s very odd if true. Why would the AFL spend $ unnecessarily flying StK & the Dawgs to Adelaide when they’re both presently only a bus ride away from Metricon and the Gabba?
