Chief executive Andrew Dillon insists the AFL never considered playing Sydney's blockbuster qualifying final against GWS at Accor Stadium instead of the sold-out SCG.

The Swans will host the Giants at their 48,000-capacity home ground and Dillon insisted the 83,500-capacity Accor Stadium (Stadium Australia), which last hosted AFL in round one, 2022, was not an option.
