Yes the reality of the AFL is we travel.It is not meant o be fair , it is meant o be about money otherwise the players won’t be paid as much .
As fans it is hard to accept . But it is what it is , it not going to change unless they play each time the same number of times . The players and clubs don’t want longer seasons so that not an option . And we never going to a shorter season due to tv rights .
So when things can’t be changed we have to do whatever it takes to win those games at venues we may not like .
We have the world stacked against us but so did all interstate teams that play . Maybe not as bad as us , but it is what it is
So improve skills and we win enough matches
Too many games every year we should have won and could have won
We seem to have mental issues at times and as a club we need to do all we can
If travel is too long , then arrive earlier , a few days before a game . Prepare
Work out how to overcome the tiredness of long flights etc
They are full time professional
Nothing to be gained by complaining about things that will never change
Collingwood will never play more games away from mcg Essendon sane .
The club can get better and it will
Our players aren’t robots. To say we just win because is not considering the human factor of what travel does to the body and the mind, particularly over an along season.
The extra travel burden of going to Launceston compared to Melbourne can not be ignored.
If we were playing Norths and we’d lost I’d be fuming, but Hawthorn have now won 8 of the last 10 and are in the top 3 for most of the metrics that indicate a team in great form.
The overreaction to a 13point away loss by some on this board is just ridiculous.
