perhaps you should ask the Fremantle Club where they nominate to play. They dont get all nominations.Perhaps Kane should have a read of themongrelpunt.com and see who they think are actually being shafted by the (V)AFL. I'll post it here to save Cornes the trouble.
Is it fair Fremantle travel to UTAS every year?
I read many angry comments today from Fremantle supporters complaining as to why they are the only away team that gets a yearly visit to play at UTAS, and I’ll add another for Docker fans, GMHBA stadium. While I normally ignore the grumbles around the fixture, I agree with the angst being felt from out west.
Firstly, I’ll start with Collingwood, who in a combination of home games and away games, play five of their last six games at the MCG. This is the same Collingwood who have never set foot on Tasmanian soil, who have not had to travel to GHMBA for the entirety of Scott Pendlebury’s career (Pendlebury has never played a game in Tassie or Geelong), and while I am at it, the Pies have never played a game in the Northern Territory.
So based on the Collingwood example alone, there is a massive disparity in the amount of travel Fremantle face each season, and I don’t mean the normal travel, I am referring to flying 5 hours and then getting on another flight for an hour or so or getting on bus and travelling down Geelong Road.
Collingwood is not the only, example I can find. Carlton, Essendon and Richmond are not that far behind in the disparity of travel stakes, so yes Fremantle, you have a right to be royally pissed off with the knobs at AFL House who think the above is fair or part of the AFL’s genesis of an impartial and fair fixture.

But you may be surprised at their choices.
Me same... I thought it was about us.. but then I thought it is Kane so something wrong... when I heard in full.

You realise that Tassie coming in actually fixes this inequality? We will no longer be selectively pushed there, the bigger Melbourne clubs will be forced to travel there.Getting a bit sick of the whinging of going to Tassie, guess where we are playing the Tassie team when it comes in for 2029, thats right Tassie.
We will be going there every 2 years anyway
The Afl will have to have a fair system that they go by though. Otherwise, Collingwood will only play down there once every 4 years or something and Tassie will most always be playing Collingwood in Victoria miraculously, somehow. Especially as not all teams play each other twice.You realise that Tassie coming in actually fixes this inequality?

if WA teams disnt want to travel they shouldnt have joined the AFL/VFL .We will be travelling there more...
Vic to Tassie is a lot closer than Perth to Tassie anyway, not sure how this "Fixes" anything
Yeah, eventually no one will show up in your feed.The ignore function is so good.

Simple stick to WAFL only.
No we want to participate and we will travel to wherever they want us to go.
GOOD teams win any where any TIME
No. We don't have to do whatever they say, especially if it causes inequality in the competition. They wanted WC and Adelaide in the competition because they needed the money. We saved their arses. We don't have to put up with this shite from them.if WA teams disnt want to travel they shouldnt have joined the AFL/VFL .

then feel free to leave the compettion !No. We don't have to do whatever they say, especially if it causes inequality in the competition. They wanted WC and Adelaide in the competition because they needed the money. We saved their arses. We don't have to put up with this shite from them.
If you are a doormat, it is simple. Our wealth is propping up a lot of unsustainable clubs. Just because they used some of the money well, that doesn't mean they should forget how they got it in the first place.then feel free to leave the compettion !
IT will never happen
So we jsut play and over come the issues if we can
MAjority of fans live in VICTORIA especially Melb so the game is built around getting them to most matches
it is simple
again if the CLUB doesnt want to do it . Just leave the CompeetetionIf you are a doormat, it is simple. Our wealth is propping up a lot of unsustainable clubs. Just because they used some of the money well, that doesn't mean they should forget how they got it in the first place.
What have you been smoking.if WA teams disnt want to travel they shouldnt have joined the AFL/VFL .

It is not meant o be fair , it is meant o be about money otherwise the players won’t be paid as much .What have you been smoking.
No one is taking about us not travelling at all.
We r on the other side of the country, it came with joining to the AFL.
2 issues.
1. We have to do the extra trips like Tassie every year. Collingwood have never played there. Yes it’s a money decision but that isn’t fair.
2. The big VIC teams don’t have the same travel schedules. There are 8 interstate sides yet teams like Collingwood have fixtures that give them a huge advantage. Last season post bye, Collingwood had the last 11/13 games in Melbourne, travelled to Adelaide and Goldcoast.
Brisbane had 7/13 games at the GABBA, with a trip Optus against us as one of the away games.
This year Carlton play 8/10 games post bye in Melbourne and then 2 guaranteed finals in Melbourne (assuming they finish top 2).
I 100% agree, win anywhere anytime! As long as everyone has to win in the same place, with same amount of travel as everyone else.
Will never happen but to say travel shouldn’t have any impact on a player and team’s performance is just ludicrous. .
