Was a 14-point final margin. 6-points at 3/4 time. Comfortably?
But that was a H&A game. In 2019 Cats beat us by 67 points at the MCG in Round 12. Was 74 margin at 3/4 time.
Finals generally involve a different ending to H&A games for the Cats.

Do the Cats fans realise that if given the choice all of your players would choose to play a final in front of 95,000 at the MCG and not at GMHBA?
It’s not fair Geelong got father-son superstars for next to nothing. It’s not fair they get a home ground advantage other Vic teams usually don’t. It’s not fair teams don’t play each other twice and this season Geelong got North and Eagles twice each. Its not fair Geelong are the only Vic team that provides a beachside lifestyle so get Cameron because of that without competition. Its not fair the soft cap is the same for Premiership clubs who have to pay their coach $1m whilst other clubs pay $600k meaning more coaches and off-field staff.
And it’s not fair Geelong don’t play finals at GMHBA…..
Guess what? In AFL footy very little is fair and Geelong aren’t the only poor petals to cop it…. you win some and you lose some. Get over it.

The only thing this game should not be is the absolutely shit time slot it was given.
Why the **** is this the Saturday afternoon game and not the blockbuster Thursday of Friday night game. It's stupid and I hate it.

Given Geelong fans are complaining about how far away Geelong is from Melbourne, then a trip to Kardinia can take one of our interstate trips
Where are you residing? Werribee? Which is 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 40 mins if you were leaving from there on a Friday at 5pm.
Back on topic. I think 4:30 on a Saturday arvo is perfect. The G is fine. Will make for a great atmosphere. If we’re good enough, we’ll win.
Tells cats not to whinge while listing 5 Richmond whinges. Nice.
This thread turning out pretty much as expected.

Personally I’m fine when the ground isn’t under construction for the cats to play their finals at KP. I also don’t want them touching the G unless they’re playing us, pies, hawks and the tigers away. So all those teams have to travel to KP like we do during the season.
Would help me feel we’ve got a real home ground advantage if they only get to play the ground 2-4 times a year. Feels like they get best of both worlds at the moment, their own home ground and plenty at the G each year.

Richmond also lost a player in the first 5 to 10 minutes of that 2017 game, no doubt played a big role in Geelong's win
Cant believe this thread is already 16 pages.
A sure way to get reactions.
This topic has been absolutely flogged to death for a decade.

You had the chance to build a decent side ground that had wings as part of the re-development, you did not, its a toy ground and not fit for finals.
Pies fans can smell your fear.

Wrong. Its the best shape of ground. One of the few that is actually good for football. Short grounds with wide Wings result in boring circle work and side way chipping. Long thin grounds turn football back into a game of yardage. The way it was meant to be played before all the players got super fit. Much harder to flood an area of the field if you have to run an extra 15 metres up and down the field each time to do it.
the mcg needs to be extended by about 15 metres and the wings brought in by about 15 metres. It would make afl a far more enjoyable and riveting game to watch.
but all this is for another thread.

Cos it has not been fixed yet and the same mistakes are about to happen again.
what were your thoughts when the swans complained vehemently that they had to play a home final against gws at homebush and not the scg 6 years ago? Homebush was only a 25 min ride away (And your former home ground for like a decade) and yet the sydney swans thought it was outrageously unfair.
I believe sydney were fully justified to complain. But geelongs situation is far worse.

Cos many geelong fans wont be able to come if they cant get home until 1am. which is what happens on friday night games. Thursday nights would be even worse given its a work day the next day.

Lets just remember that richmond fans complain about playing a home game 5 mins down the road at docklands against interstste sides in home and away games. Not fellow melbourne sides. But interstate sides. Not a final either. Richmond still have home advantage and yet their complaints are through the roof.
its beyond hypocrisy for them to justify geelongs treatment in finals. Its delusion.

Yes the afternoon game is atleast something that should help even out the fans. Still will be massively biased in favour of collingwood though.Great timeslot, should get home by 9:30 or so

Omg we've played finals at the MCG for over 100 years, it's the biggest ground so that's where finals get played
I don't recall the likes of Chapman, Bartel and Johnston ever complaining about playing finals on the MCG, it's every player's dream and the whole point of playing footy
Cats once again psyching themselves out

The MCG has become this Mecca of ground dimensions, purely because it's got the biggest grandstand, but look at purpose built stadiums for Footy:
KP: Long and Skinny (20m longer and 40m skinnier than the G)
Marvel: Long and Skinny (20m skinnier than the G)
VFL Park: Long and Skinny (although it's the same width as the G, it's also 40m longer)
Subiaco: Long and Skinny (20m longer and 40m skinnier than the G)
Footy Park: Long and Skinny (25m skinnier than the G)
Football wasn't meant to be played on a circle.

Fair argument because the only enjoyment I get out of winning home games that aren’t home games is laughing at how pathetic the opposition are losing on their home turf even with the emotionally influenced umpires.
