    Welcome to East Germany Carlton and Collingwood - who finishes higher in 2023? Collingwood Ofcourse

    Both had decent seasons, Carlton are pretty talented and should challenge top 4 next year. Collingwood were outstanding, what an amazing team and very savy coach, will challenge top 4 and could win the flag next year. 2 very good teams, but the Pies to finish higher.

    Geelong vs pies final should not be at the mcg.

    Its either a fair competition or it isnt, its the choice of the clubs and the AFL to make that call. Frankly all grounds should be the same dimensions, team finishing top gets venue choice. All Victorian teams share MCG and Marvel on an equal basis. Fair competition or FIXTURE thats the...

    Geelong vs pies final should not be at the mcg.

    Kardinia Park not an option due to construction, but Cats finished top and should have the right to choose, isnt that the law of the AFL game. Maybe Marvel, its not home ground to either, removes the 3 goal home ground advantage for Collingwood. I dont care who wins but Cats finished top and...

    Opinion Is this where Carlton drops away?

    The best Carlton team for many years. A real flag threat in 2023/4/5 This year they have been pretty good for a young group, and will only improve with time.

    The premiership race is not wide open

    Melbourne will win at the G, Cats good no doubt, but the Dees will beat them in the GF Dont bet on it though, its only an opinion.

    Here's your 'Survey' AFL - Why dont you go anymore?

    Essendon leaving the MCG to go to Docklands, I refuse to drag small kids off a train onto trams with confusing and overpriced Myky cards, so we went once to Dockland and then stopped. Went to the G only for a while but the cost, the rule changes, lop sided free kick counts on Anzac day games we...

    Player Watch Pendlebury............. what does footy lose when Pendles retires?

    One of the Pies best. Quality player and person. Could move into coaching, or maybe a role in the media. still got plenty to offer as a player.

    The MCG should always host the Grand Final post pandemic.

    Whoever finishes highest should get the GF at thier home ground. If it is to become a true national competition then all teams must be treated as equal. MCG residents have a big advantage over all other teams as they play home in finals. Lets be fair

    Thoughts on AFL website? How do you rate afl.com in 2020 ?

    Opinion 2021 fixture I'd like to see.

    All docklands teams should play a shared MCG docklands fixture playing the same number of games at each venue with the current 4 MCG resident teams. We all deserve to be treated in an equal manner its a huge advantage to be at the MCG for home and finals games. Top team gets home GF

    Last night proved that we don't need the Grand Final at the MCG anymore.

    Top team gets home Grand Final, its time to stop the 4 club MCG cartel advantage.

    If 7 straight games at the MCG leading into finals is an advantage....

    No doubt this Richmond group is one of the greatest teams of all time, and it may well continue next year. But there have been others also great, Collingwood 4 in a row, Cats, Hawks, Brisbane were amazing and Melbourne in the 60s perhaps the greatest so far. Things can change very quickly in...

    Opinion Liked, Learnt, Hated - AFL 2020 Finals/Grand Final Edition. Congrats Tigers!

    Liked the way the Cats played, what an class exhibition. Learned the Saints will be top 6 next year. Hated the injury to Paddy Ryder, made a massive difference to the Saints momentum.

    Geelong: why are they just not good enough?

    Its obvious, Geelong are a good team and they play and win many games at home. This gives them a good ladder position most years, but when they play finals they are playing at the G or interstate against teams playing at their home ground so results are reversed. The 4 MCG based teams are at...

    Analysis AFL Forcing 6th Placed Saints to Play Their Home Final at Adelaide Oval

    The Saints are one of the clubs that are disadvantaged by both the draw and the finals system. Their home ground is Docklands,yet if they finish top and face Richmond,Collingwood,Hawthorn or Melbourne they play away at the MCG against a team who are playing at home. It is a deeply biased...

    Opinion Who wins the Premiership? (Updated poll - Updated for Prelims))

    Its pretty even between the top 7 teams. Tigers very talented and always a threat, but West Coast and Port on neutral ground also a big threat, Brisbane at the Gabba could get home. Best ever finals series being away from the MCG home ground advantage to Collingwood and Richmond. Whilst I...

    Is the MCG a big advantage on Grand Final Day for Victorians against Interstate Sides? /Are Interstaters advantaged during the home and away season?

    Not all Victorian teams have the advantage just 4 Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Melbourne all have a 3 goal plus MCG advantage against every other club. The docklands based clubs do not have an advantage at the G as they are playing away from their home ground. Geelong do not have an MCG...

    Next out of Carlton, Essendon, Melbourne, North Melbourne and St Kilda to win a flag?

    It would be interesting to look back in 5 or 10 years time to see if any of us were near the mark, alas Im sure most of us will forget. Melbourne will re emerge as a power team again, simply as they are MCG based and will make use of the advantage it provides. Carlton and St Kilda have both...

    Predicting premierships for teams - who can actually win a flag?

    The teams in future who will win most premierships are Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne, Hawthorn. There will be a few interstate flag winners, but the vast majority will be the 4 MCG resident teams. They have a 3 goal advantage at the G and it counts big time.

    Opinion If you could, would you reward the side who finishes top of the ladder as the grand final host?

    Yes, Vic clubs play the GF at MCG. Interstate should play at their ground of choice if finishing top. All Vic clubs should rotate through the season with equal number of games played at the MCG. This means we then have an even competition without some clubs currently having a homeground...

    Opinion Who wins the Premiership? (Updated poll - Updated for Prelims))

    6 good teams, and no home MCG Advantage makes it much more even and interesting. Brisbane, West Coast, Richmond, GWS, Port, Collingwood pretty even, all capable of winning this year. I hope its Brisbane, GWS or Port. but think West Coast may just get the flag.

    Eddie McGuire - What Do You Say Now ??

    Now I know why he has a sock in his mouth, to keep his foot warm. However most of us do it pretty well too, were just not facing Caro on TV. At the end of the day he is a very well paid comedian. He has done well in life, is a decent family man and is an entertainer at heart. He can give and...

    Next out of Carlton, Essendon, Melbourne, North Melbourne and St Kilda to win a flag?

    St Kilda becoming pretty good, and could get top 4 in 2020. Carlisle nope....bad karma when a player tries to hurt an opposition player who is injured, sickly stuff. Carlton pretty good and improving, will make the 8 2021. North next best, but dont hold your breath. Essendon, Melbourne...
