The more I think about it the more it stinks. Think about the biggest day of your life. Then add onto it travelling by plane, arriving in a new footy mad state, and staying in an unfamiliar hotel. Now try and get some sleep so your body can perform to it’s best. Add to that studies that show sleeping in hotels and new environments dont actually put your body into deep REM as your mind is subconsciously alert.

Compare that to someone already in Melbourne, going through the same routine. Going home to your comfy bed with creature comforts. The difference in performance from a whole team having on average an hour or more less sleep has to be massive

If the AFL won't move the GF, they should at least dictate that when the game is 'hosted' by an interstate team, the 'away' Victorian side also has to stay in a team hotel from Wednesday night

What? And no mention of the thousands that the non Victorian supporters spend to get there?
No concern for them?
This is the biggest part of The Great VFL Grand Final Swindle.
 
I was exploring trade tweets and came across Ricky Nixon’s tweets.

Not someone I’d recommend, and to be straight up it’s some car crash stuff.

But, damn he has been winding up the Richmond and Pies supporters. Pretty amusing actually.

He’s into the Pies for having the easiest draw in the league, and into Rance as a less than adequate defender.

Nixon had been winding up Richmond fans all year that they weren't going back to back. If Collingwood lose he'll be a pig in shit because he's been saying the Pies are only where they are thanks to a super generous AFL fixture.

He's also been talking up West Coast on the back of home ground advantage

He is probably one of the best minds in the game

Did anyone listen to Caro on 5aa the other night?

I didn't but heard a promo this morning where they played her discussing the non-Vic clubs who were working together to protest the Grand Final deal at the MCG and trying to make progress.

Said Adelaide and Sydney were key parts of this.

Notably absent. Port. SCABS!

They don't need to worry about the location of the GF. It's not like they'll be making one soon.

Why does that not surprise us. As we have seen time and time again they are a club of dogs.
 
Has any football journalist highlighted the disproportionate number of quality players heading into Victoria this trade period as opposed to those coming out

Hard to voice a complaint when your mouth is full from suckling on the AFL teat.

As I pointed out, Ports handout for China is dependent on that MCG finals deal. No wonder they came out in support of it.
That bunch of flogs would sell their mother for $1.50.

China clearly more important to Kochie than an AFL flag
