NEXT year's AFL Grand Final may not be played at the MCG due to a fixture clash, league boss Andrew Demetriou has warned.

Speaking to reporters today, Mr Demetriou said the AFL wanted to stage the 2011 Grand Final at the MCG on October 1, to accommodate the new 17-team fixture.

But he said he had been advised that Cricket Victoria had a hold on the day.

“We are trying to play on October the 1st but the MCG is not available due to Cricket Victoria, I understand, so we might have to play it elsewhere the way things are going,” he said.

Mr Demetriou did not rule out taking the Grand Final interstate.

“I have already had the phone ringing about people that would love the Grand Final," he said.

“Do you think we would have any issue about getting people interested in the Grand Final? I wouldn’t have thought so.”

But he said he hoped the final would be hosted at the MCG, saying “hopefully some common sense will prevail”.

He is playing with the heads of the MCC i think.
Let's see, do you want 100,000 at the "G" for the granny ?
Or would you prefer 10 - 15,000 at a cricket match ?

Quite a ballsy year for Andy D so far.

- Fifa

AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou says the 2011 grand final could potentially be played in Sydney if the league is unable to reach an agreement with Cricket Victoria regarding the MCG’s availability.
