It's going to be an interesting decision come Sunday night - just who gets the last VFL final? TEAC Oval host 2 games and York Park will have one.
Who do you reckon might get it? Should Bendigo experience finals at QEO? Who has drawn big crowds?
As long as they don't draw to play Tasmania or Port Melbourne, I'd give it to Werribee at Chirnside Park - despite the lack of shelter for the fans. Crowds all year down there have been great. Sandringham a close second. I don't think Bendigo should be given a home final.
From an "event" point of view, Bendigo hosting a final (possibly at night, according to the papers) could draw a massive crowd. Its a big game, and if promoted well could be a real winner.
Should go to the highest placed team on the ladder that doesn't already have a home final - probably Sandringham.
Stuff this "best fit" garbage - it's unfair.
Don't be surprised if Box Hill gets it based on their good crowds, but if we do I'll be embarrassed.
I guess they wont choose Burbank oval because it is too exposed to the elements.. They probably want a more sheltered ground that they would think the crowds are likely to see good "finals footy".
