That's not our away geurnsey. It's our premiership guernsey. And I agree that it was a big pile of sooking as well from high profile Richmond supporters at the time, notably KB and Caroline Wilson.

The travel across the Nullarbor is a factor. But Melbourne has got too big in the last decade and travel is a real pain now just to get around a city of 5 million every day.
Worse for fans especially night games.
So it’s hard to compare ‘apples and oranges’. We have to travel in different ways.
I have often thought that WCE and Freo should do at least 3 road trips a year. Play in Melbourne say on a Sunday have a 5 to 6 day break and then play again. A great bonding concentration type of week. Takes 10trips across the Nullarbor to 7.
Personally I would be happy to see GF go to Adelaide or Perth for sure. We (Bulldogs) have no home ground advantage at the MCG, not many MCC or AFL members are Bulldogs fans. Or corporates either, compared with the ‘big end of town’ teams. We get two away games there a year, if we’re lucky, and no Public Holiday games ever. Big get bigger scenario.

It’s the one we get all the free kicks in.

I never once said other teams don't face levels of bias that isn't lost on me, your mistake is just assuming that's the case. Look at my most recent posts, I had quite a nice exchange with another Richmond supporter who didn't just resort to labels and cliche choke talk. See that's the difference, there are those who can have a mature exchange and those that need to make it personal.
To be fair west coast fans think hes an out of touch dick and are raging about his comments.
I can see the dogs playing ao better than the g
We beat two top 4 teams at their
Home ground and another top 8 team.
How many seasons does it take richmond to achieve that?
7? 8?
We dont win those games against the top 8 at their home grounds we come 8th.
No doubt but ...

Well Richmond won 3 games against top 4 opponents at their home ground in 2018.
In our premiership year we beat 3 top 8 sides at their home ground.
The mcg?
And the only team you beat outside of Victoria was Gold Coast.

What can be deducted from this is that the Eagles are salary cap cheats. Investigate!
Easy draw .. inflated ladder position...able to rest up during finals. Something needs to be done about interstate teams being mollycoddled to premierships. What is it now 9 to 8 to interstate teams and some very ordinary ones in those grand finals.
They won 3 on the juice although 2 of those apparently don’t count as proper premierships because they had list or salary cap concessions.
So knowing how the Eagles operate let’s keep our fingers that this one legit for the sake of football.

Red: Subiaco Oval
Green: MCG
Orange: Optus Stadium
This is a little diagram that was on the channel 7 grand final pre match show,
and backs up why they have played great footy on the MCG this year. With the new Optus Stadium being 5 meters bigger then the MCG
Now they don't have to adjust their playing style, unlike when they played at the longer and narrower
subiaco Oval.
Since 1987 when the Bears and Eagles joined the competition, Non Victorian sides have won 12 out of the 31 premierships and lost 11 Grand Finals.
Thats not a stat that says they cant win Grand Finals at the MCG.

Lol that diagram is not correct, whoever created it should be fired.
MCG is 5m shorter but 11m wider than Perth stadium. Subi was about 15m longer and 20m narrower than MCG.
West Coasts turn. We had to put up with this all year. In fact I don’t think these “ let’s sook about this years Premiers started until Richmond won.
I don't mind. I'm just grateful to see my team win another flag
