Perhaps we should go hub in Perth now, with no one else. And just forfeit.

what do you want to hear mate, I’m not the f***ing AFL. If I was do you think I’d be banging on to you on this forum? How the hell do I answer that question?
the fact is they haven’t, and given that they’re in probably the safest place in Australia at the moment I’d be inclined to let them stay there too.
It is a f***ed up season wrecked by a social and biological disaster that has impacted life on a scale that no one under the age of 80 has had to deal with before, and your gripe is with one team not having to stay at hotel resorts for a while?
as stipulated already, until you sterilise the entire comp, it’s rosters, the drafts, the ground, and find a way to manipulate geography to have every team spaced evenly apart, you cannot get an even competition, and your club, my club, and many other clubs have benefitted from that imbalance in the past so excuse me if I think it’s a bit f***ing rich for a fan of one of the teams who benefits most from the natural inequalities of the competition to moan endlessly about another team who isn’t even getting that much of a leg up.
By then end of this they would have played 8 at the gabba. No different than us playing 8 at the Adelaide oval. I don't see much of an advantage in fixture... considering most teams are not traveling either. The biggest argument here is sleeping in their own bed somehow gives them an advantage.

WC and Port haven't played 8 at A0, let alone 14 or whatever in the same state.
I don't see why one team got it so easy, why didn't the other 6 non QLD/Vic teams get a cosy run too?

Safest place in Australia ? Not sure how you work that out. There’s three or 4 stares an territories with less cases so how do you justify that comment.
Because they're not from QLD... where the competition is being based out of.....
If everyone hubbed in Perth or Adelaide. It would have happened.

There's no reason why Port couldn't have had more too.
We've got teams here.
I just hope for consistency across the board, no different to picking on Richmond last season.

fair call. To be honest I don’t know what the numbers are in WA or SA. I know it’s safer than NSW or Victoria.

the thing is most people with a brain understand geography and don’t genuinely look at Richmond and see a team who succeeded because of a draw. 22 players line up on 22 players. It’s that simple

Not leaving the same ground for 3 months helps
There's a reason why the WCE aren't filled with players who played 300 games
Not their fault they draw crowds though.
If you guys played them at home that Final you'd have flogged em.
Where are we going to send Brisbane, they have no opponents to play who are not in SEQLD. They are travelling to Cairns to play sydney which is double the distance than Brisbane to Sydney is ? They played the WA and SA teams first because of the major restrictions we and perth had. This is just what has happened. The bitching is sad.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Oh you're one of those people - the MCG isn't a true home ground because other teams play there. Man. Making claims about potential temporary advantages during a pandemic and then without skipping a beat defending the systemic advantages your team receives every season.

They got a final there after bitching , Rossy and Freo had other ideas pulled there pants down.To many if's and buts if you got them at home.They fact is they hav done well in finals last couple of years.

Richmond get on a plane 4 times a year, every other year just like every other VIC team.
So it’s only right they Bitch & moan about playing away from VIC.

Why don't Richmond and Essendon play in Darwin every year to ensure those teams travel as much as others? Because logic would suggest they play in Melbourne, where they are both based. Kind of like how most of the teams in the comp are currently based in Qld (you're welcome btw), including the Lions.

Can't say I agree - it was 4.6 to 3.0 at quarter time, as I recall.
Our 5th gear was engaged - our radar, however...

Why would Richmond and Collingwood supporters whine?
Richmond havent lost to Brisbane at the GABBA since 2004 and have lost to the Lions once in 15 years.
Collingwood record is also VERY strong against the Lions.
Playing in Brisbane is the best outcome for Tigers/Pies.
w/o a doubt worst ever top 2 at present
The ladder doesn’t lie .
