In Perth you could play the Friday night games at hbf park and the sat/sun games at optus. It’d need some cooperation from the afl which might be problematic.Doesn't the AFL own Marvel (Docklands)? Does the NRL want to deal with the AFL?
The problem with Vic, SA and WA is none of those states has a suitable large rectangular stadium to host a magic round. AAMI Park is the largest at just 30,000.
At the moment, the NRL is in round 15, whilst the AFL is up to round 13. Perhaps the best time to stage a magic round in the non heartland states is early in the season in round 2.
Venues like MCG, Adelaide Oval and Optus could be available. Or in Melbourne's case, split the games up between the MCG and AAMI Park.
