Roast Geelong getting home finals…but only against small drawing teams

[PhatBoy]

Except we are not the SOLE tenants of the MCG and therefore don’t have the huge HGA over a FULL season that Geel have at GMHBA.

What don’t you get Sport?

Who cares. When we host you there you get the advantage. I couldn’t give a shit what happens in your neutral games. ‘Sport.’

 

[PhatBoy]

Nice - it’s a pity you haven’t been as imaginative and creative in building your case for a home final.

We have a home ground.

There. Case built.

 

[FootyLad0]

We have a home ground.

There. Case built.

Crazy isn’t it. Doesn’t happen in any other sport, yet incredible lengths they’ll go to and ignore the most obvious answer.

It’s Geelong’s Home Ground. End of story.
If GWS can host a ****ing Final then Geelong can too.

Always cute when the 'sport' or 'champ' quip comes out.
Says 'I'm rattled that you don't just agree with my divine opinion'.

MCG Tenants: “I don’t want to give up the obvious advantages my team has in Finals because I’m afraid we’ll lose.”

FTFY

Train fares to Geelong probably cost too much of a Pies fans centrelink pay.

Your blokes must be shaking in their boots every time they play an MCG tenant at the MCG.
It’s such an unfamiliar and intimidating venue - oh wait

Geel play 6 games at the MCG this season - it’s your second home.
Which completely proves my point that MCG tenants don’t have the HGA that Geel do at GMHBA.

Anything else ?

Not really.

Maybe if they played there they’d have some familiarity. You have a ground, you play there.

Ah - last time I checked Geel is not an interstate Club.
It’s just a simple fact that torpedoes your argument.

Who cares.
Newcastle and Canberra aren’t interstate nrl clubs. They can host finals up until GF day.

 

[Daka]

Geelong even versus the smaller interstate teams like Fremantle would still draw 60k+ at the MCG in a final.

It's hard to argue to use GMHBA over it. The AFL will be losing money when another Stadium(MCG) is so close by.

Are you serious ?

Maybe when the NRL and AFL merge then Geel will get a home final.

I can’t believe you’ve used this argument

I can’t believe the lack sophistication of your arguments

I can’t believe yours.
‘You’ve played at the MCG a bit so you shouldn’t play at home.’

No it’s very scientific.

No - my argument is you’re not an interstate team and therefore don’t qualify for a home final.

Pretty simple really.

Yes and you’re yet to mount a single reason as to why it makes any sense.

Unless GEEL is a new Australian state it makes perfect sense.

 

[Daka]

So.

Doesn't make business sense their is already so many quirks in the fixture.
This is no different.
MCG makes business sense.
I'm pretty confident that Geelong will play their home finals at the G.

This is no different.
MCG makes business sense.
I'm pretty confident that any Geelong will play their home finals at the G.

Who cares. It doesn’t make business sense to spent a million dollars on a singer to play three songs at an event that will draw the same crowd and ratings whether that person appears or not, but they do it all the same.

So who cares.

 

[PhatBoy]

No it doesn’t. Team has home ground, team plays home game there. Like you do.

 

[FootyLad0]

No it doesn’t. Team has home ground, team plays home game there. Like you do.

No use arguing mate, look at the flairs who are against it.
MCG tenants who benefit from the advantage so they’ll defend it to the hilt.
No other supporter base agrees with them, everyone else KNOWS it’s a bullshit argument and agree Cats should get TRUE Home Finals.

As I said earlier…

MCG Tenants: “I don’t want to give up the obvious advantages my team has in Finals because I’m afraid we’ll lose.”

 

[No SPIN]

No it doesn’t. Team has home ground, team plays home game there. Like you do.

you guys are completely irrational about what’s a simple issue - your not an interstate club and therefore don't qualify to have a home final.

It not hard guys.
