Old news now I know but WTF AFL? You carry on about show casing the game and how it needs to expand the corners of the nation but you're still a Melbourne centric boys club that only wants to expand when it suits you.
Ticket sales you say? Since when had the AFL been that short of a quid that you are relying on the gate sales of a pre season comp that is ultimately a trial series (I'm sure there is enough people on this site alone that stalk your financials who can back me up on that) - you should be letting people in for free to show some good will!!!
Any who I digress - bad form AFL - don't think the Lions win over the Blues had anything to do with your administration skills - HA! No party in Lygon St this year boys

Re: Brisbane Lions Snub for NAB Final
The GABBA wasnt available so the match would have had to scheduled on the GC, which is hardly Brisbanes home ground. It also has a smaller capacity than Etihad.Scorger Man wrote:http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-ne ... 6594267933

The lions are also a club merged from Brisbane and Fitzroy so they do have a fair amount of support in Melbourne. The crowd justified the decision in my opinion.

Re: Brisbane Lions Snub for NAB Final
Of course you'll get a crowd in Melbourne, you can paint a couple of sashes on some monkeys and throw them in a ring and Melbourne Folk will turn up....and some one will lose their house over it! Yeah not sure what can be done in the future but a team that wins the minors deserves to host the finals.....
NOTE - If the AFL were to use FFC as an added justification to playing the match in Melbourne, then playing at the MCG is a more convenient location as it is closer to Fitzroy by 2km the Etihad Stadium
