Do you think the Hawks will win the flag this year, and therefore surpass Geelong's dynasty?
They've already surpassed it. Hopefully they can pull further ahead though.
Non Victorian teams specifically request more games at the MCG so they can get more experience on the ground where Grand Finals are played.
Geelong does the opposite, they campaign for games at their training ground. Now there's a home ground advantage, although they've been unable to exploit it.
David Koch was the most recent figurehead from a non Victorian club to raise this issue in the media.
The same Koch who wants compensation for Ryder even though Port knew what they were buying? Any port in a storm I guess.
5 year dynasty > 3 year dynasty.
Not if it's alternating flags and failure in one and straight out unbridled success in the other. That's why Hawthorn's gone ahead, and that's not even counting 2008 which we also won.
Great teams don't lose finals in premiership years.
Yes they do, it's a mark of greatness that they can recover from a loss and travel twice and still come out on top. Resilience is a hallmark of a great team, and we saw that again last year with Hawthorn. You should want your own team to display those characteristics.
