Question Geelong v Collingwood

Can anyone tell me why Geelong v Collingwood is being played at the MCG and not skilled stadium... i thought that since Geelong won their first final, the pre lim was to be played at there home ground, being skilled stadium... anyone know anything about it?

cheers

You can get more people into the MCG, which earns the AFL more money

Good game, but i hate the Cats. Going for the Kanga's now!

Absolutely LOVED that tackle Maxwell put on Rooke in the first quarter. That's the shit.

Apparently attendance was about 98,000. You couldn't fit that many into skilled.

A: The AFL has a contract with the MCG. 1 Prelim must be played there.

B: 100,000 people capacity vs 40,000 at skilled stadium. AFL aren't silly.

Carn Geelong!
