Phillipe will probably tell you that attendances were down due to the women's netball league being on tele or something, but it was obviously not financially viable to run the GP in Melbourne. The Ethiad Stadium was also bought by the AFL in 2016, and that was no doubt a convenient excuse to pull the plug. There's supposedly a proposal to run the GP in Adelaide next year, or more fantastically, at Ipswich. The latter seems pretty unlikely given the remote location, the total lack of track/stadium facilities at the Motor Park, and Ipswich City Council being in big financial difficulties which includes losses on the Motor Park they own.
