Same Old's. This is what I said:

 

I said they should play interstate more BECAUSE of the fact that they have travelled less than any other team.

I appreciate what you are saying about everyone having their own ground. I suppose in a perfect world, that would be ideal. But given that tere are only 4 Victorian venues, my "perfect world" would consist of all 9 Melbourne teams (99 home mathces in all) sharing both Colonial and the MCG, relative to the crowd drawing capacities of each team. This is only 50 matches at each of Colonial and the MCG (no different to how it has been in the past). Geelong would play a handful of their bigger drawing games at the MCG.

Logistically, it could certainly be done in theory. If the Kangaroos were to continue playing 4 home games out of Melboure, you're only looking at 45-50 matches at each venue which is no different to what we have seen at the MCG over the last few years. Even this year, the MCG hosts well over 40 matches - over 60 if you include curtain rasiers
