Perth Stadium should be the ONLY venue for WAFL GFs!

the one thing that is absolutely certain is that we have to find a neutral venue mate - I find it hard to believe the state gov didn't demand footy be played there
it is a football stadium after all - pointlessly no good it sitting there empty when there's a Grand Final hey

Yep I would prefer that, although neutral isnt be all and end all, it sure hasnt been for Richmond and Melbourne when they play finals at the MCG for many a decade.

MCG has been corrupt for years - it's a sick joke

I know Perth are a hundred to one shot to make the GF but if they do this decision will be shown to be the farce that it is..Around 20 to 25k would expected to go in which case you would ask Are people going to be turned away..yes...is there a venue that is suitable and can accomodate the expected crowd..yes..so why the hell would you play it elsewhere. And I think any combination of the final 4 would expect to draw more than 12k.

The WAFC simply have no idea how to put a value on a product and apparently don't have the ability to make money on an event that attracts the sort of crowd you are talking about.

This moronic decision is just one of the many reasons major changes are needed at that WAFC joint....they cant even run a bath that mob!

Thats OK DD has made a pledge that in the event Perth make their first GF in decades he will not go just to make a point...
