The AFL to this day remains a Victoria-centric competition. This is evident in many facets of the game but especially so in its urgency, following last year’s unprecedented Covid-enforced move to Brisbane, to return its season decider to its traditional home of the MCG.
Contrast this with the AFLW’s travelling grand finals. The inaugural big dance in 2017 took place at the Gold Coast’s Metricon Stadium Metricon Stadium, 2018’s was staged at Melbourne’s Ikon Park, and 2019’s at Adelaide Oval. In 2021, after the cancelled finals of the 2020 season, Adelaide Oval will again play host to the biggest game of the campaign.
