Why would Geelong have their B&F at crown?
Thought it would be too far them to travel

It's wonderful:

The fact that that event I just witnessed took place at the location it did is a disgrace to the sport and the game's governing body. I genuinely couldn't give a **** about analysing anything related to tactics, coaching, player performance or anything else. The only variable I care about is the Richmond hosting thing. Everything else is irrelevant so long as one grants the premise - and this it is a self-evident, undeniable premise - that we were denied an advantage we earned based on our finishing position and had that advantage handed to our direct opponent. It's an absolute ******* outrage and should be treated as such; anyone who wants to roll out the moronic attempted rebuke "oh, Geelong should be able to win anywhere and at any time" is either incapable of logical thought or wilfully determined to miss simple points. The whole structure of the finals system - a finals system, like all sporting finals systems, that can only be fair and ethical if the rules are applied consistency to all teams - was subverted against us, and what, we're supposed to just accept that and not complain in the aftermath of a loss because "that's just making excuses"? What the actual **** kind of logic is that? Yeah, it's an excuse, but all excuses aren't equal. If an excuse is absolutely, unequivocally justified, then bringing it up is not only fair game, it's intellectually necessary.

FFS, the entire finals system is supposed to be predicated on home and away season finishing position, it's the basis for how games are scheduled; for six entire months and 22 freaking games we fought and scrapped for second position on the assumption that it would secure us an advantage, and THIS was our reward? Our rightful home game hijacked away from us and given to the opposition, getting booed non-stop throughout the night, forced to play in front of a deliriously pro-Tigers crowd of 90,000+ at a ground we don't play as well as Simonds? What even is that shit? Even before the ball had bounced the whole thing had a "special night for Richmond" vibe; the pre-game all had a sense of "this is a Richmond occasion" to it. And then it continued as the game started...in my section Patrick Dangerfield was getting almost universally booed every time he got the ball. I mean seriously...out ******* talisman...Patrick Freaking Dangerfield...in his 200th game...at our supposed "home game"...getting treated with near-universal contempt.

This match was a farce and the result comes with an asterisk attached to it. I refuse to melt over the performance of the team when the context in which the match was played was under fundamentally unethical and unfair conditions. This result has zero integrity or credibility in my eyes.

Anyway, can't wait to be told by idiots that we "can't use this as an excuse" for some bizarre, inexplicable reason. Oh well. Come at me.

I honestly don't know what was more sweet.

That the campaigners got booed onto the ground in their home final or the canned cheering.

Canned cheering at a final! Just wow

Can't wait to see them flip out when they get done against the swans at the G.
 
I assume Geelong vs Sydney is at Simonds, correct?

Cause the MCG seems to think 65k will be at the G to watch it. Are they just having it on the big screens? If so, great idea. It allows people who get locked out of Simonds to see it – especially Sydney supporters.
