It is the most unique football season we have ever experience. Teams have been flying in to Perth and then playing and training with another fly-in team while quarantining, before taking on the Eagles and Dockers only after their fortnight of quarantine has passed.Based on the current COVID-19 situation in NSW, Greater Western Sydney could well be in the position of a Victorian club, of most likely having to choose a preferred venue, from limited options – such as the two Queensland AFL grounds – rather than hosting a game in Sydney, though this is not decided either.The AFL will announce a finals policy by the end of the month, and is expected to include the decision on the grand final venue.While the Gabba is viewed as the logical favourite to host the grand final, the Adelaide Oval, Perth's Optus Stadium and even NSW have not been ruled out, while the Victorian government does not want to put a line through the MCG just yet, given its contract to host the grand final there.West Coast's surge up the ladder has coincided with the team's run of four games consecutively in Perth.

Roar Guru ‘This is the cute stuff you just do not need to do in football.’ Clubs that earn a home final may have the opportunity to nominate a preferred venue, from the available grounds, under a 2020 finals system that the AFL is considering.The AFL, which has not yet settled on a model for finals, will look at a system in which the higher-ranked team could state a preference for playing at a particular stadium – bearing in mind that Victorian teams have little hope of hosting home finals in Victoria and have been based in Queensland, where finals appear certain to be played at the Gabba and Metricon Stadium.Under this potential system, if Richmond or Geelong qualified higher than the Brisbane Lions, they might not want to play that game at the Gabba, the Lions' home ground, and could opt instead to "host" a home final at Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast.Another possibility would be that the West Coast Eagles, who are among the flag favourites, would potentially have the option of hosting a home final at the Adelaide Oval, rather than in Queensland, if the border restrictions and quarantine arrangements prevent them from hosting a final at Perth's Optus Stadium.Ladder leaders Port Adelaide believe that since there is no obstacle to Port hosting finals at Adelaide Oval, they would simply have a normal home final should they qualify for one.The concept of nominating a preferred home field, from the limited number of venues, was backed by a few senior club figures when It is unclear what would be feasible under the potential system of nominating the home field, whether, for example, a Victorian club could request a "home" game at the Adelaide Oval against the Lions – a radical step that would seem unlikely given that Victorian clubs are based in Queensland and would be making themselves travel some distance.The issue of West Coast's home finals – and whether the Eagles can play finals in Perth, given the border restrictions imposed by the Western Australian government – will be one of the key questions of the finals series. The AFL’s footy festival is drawing to a close. ‘Is he trying to give them a rap because they’re so far behind?’ I have to acknowledge Peter the Scribe, who reminded me of a very obvious D that I had missed when first drafting this team.
