Would we have played the Hawks at Telstra?

Just couldn't help but wonder with the one final being scheduled at the Dome this weekend whether the AFL would have allowed the St.K V Hawks final[ if Collingwood had got up friday night] to be played at the Dome!!

Would have been a nice bonus

Probably wishful thinking and more likely the AFL are looking after Adelaide...would be very unhappy as a Hawk finishing 5 th and playing at the Crows[8 th] at their prefered venue...surprise ,surprise

Fonzie was looking after Adelaide now doubt.

Had Collingwood won they would've been in 5th spot and Shytmey 7th, so it would've been Hawthorn vs Sydney and Collingwood vs Saints.

So.....we would've played at the MCG and Hawks Sydney at the Dome.

Afl doesn't look after vic teams. Needs a major overhaul, get rid of Fonzie!

Would think the Crows "prefered venue" would be Football Park, myself.

But it is a nice advantage to them, not as much as the same final last year, but still, the Crows would be pretty pleased to avoid the MCG, which is the Hawks actual home ground.

I think missing the top top 8 is the kick up the ass we are going to need.

I thing it will have the same affect that it has had on Geelong from last year.

Lots of people are saying this but there is no way we will get the players in the draft like they did. That Selwood is just one out of the box

Yes good point but if this Op. works well with Ball he will be like a new recruit and throw in a returned BJ and I reckon we are off and running.

We would have been playing Collingwood on a Friday night at the MCG.

Check my other thread and factor in all the variables, and that's the result.

Most intelligent post I've read. Better that we miss out on the 8
