Freo is 30mins from Subiaco. Not in a completely different city. Plus we dont just play 15 games a year away from Geelong but all those 15 games are at our oppositions home city. The definition of away game. Freo playing Carlton at Subiaco or anywhere in WA for that matter does not give Carlton a home ground advantage.
Well done Cats. I find them one of the more likable Victorian sides.

A bit like the Mclelland Trophy. A statistical win, rather than anything to get too excited about.
we did similar, and in tassie, but won that game anyway.

Ok mate. That stat would carry more relevance if it took place within the period in which we won 3. But it didn't. So it doesn't.

Against a team who missed the finals. Our last defeat - where we played such luminaries as Ryan Gamble and Tom Gillies among others - was against one of the preliminary finalists.
The most amazing record that Geelong has got ( considering salary caps drafts etc etc) and no one can dispute it - is that it is 31 years since the Cats finished in the bottom 4 - unbelievable record
The only 2 clubs that i respect in that regard are Adelaide and Nth Melb - because along with the Cats - those 3 clubs have never bottomed out - theve never gone down to the pitts like every other club has - and got rewarded with priority picks .

It's good fun though
And because they beat us by a goal in one of the best H&A games of the modern era, let's be honest. StKilda '09 is the best side I've seen not win a flag.

Bit like Brisbane and West Coast entering in 87 helping the previous record holders?

The pain of '63 really gets to them

Victorian’s love a good potato scallop
Strangely simiar to the powerful North Melbourne team of Rd 1-9 2016.
StKilda 09 and other saints sides around that time had a big pile of elite talent at the top layer, but they also had a very ordinary bottom 5 compared to other teams competing in GFs during the period in question,and it probably cost them a flag in the end. Geelong, Sydney, Hawthorn , and probably Pies all had a much better spread of talent across the entire 22.
Chris Scott is giving his to Stephen King as we speak
Kingy is handing it back!!!!!!!
Correct, Collingwood like most clubs play their home games at a neutral venue, Geelong get a massive advantage to play seven home games at their home, yet still bitch and moan about it.
Geelong is a stone throw from Melbourne, it is easy for supporters living in Geelong to attend games in Melbourne, played at a neutral venue.
Well, you better get out to Burswood and stop construction now...you're being screwed again!
I am happy to go to Burswood, a neutral venue as opposed to playing derbies at WC home ground.

You continue to make yourself look more like a CLOWN everyday. Only one game matters and thats GF day. When was the last time yous were there again? How many have you won since 07?
nope. If we played a half decent side against Brisbane then saints don't have the most wins regardless of beating us by a kick at their home ground. Saints are certainly one of the best but the pies of 2011 have to be up there as well.
Yep you won it where we didn't. Your vfl team was better than ours. As for the main team they effectively had the same amount of wins each despite the fact that the one home and away game between us was at your home ground and not at ours. Play it at Geelong and most pundits would have us making up the extra couple of points difference.
