I mean, both their colours aren't that much different from the main colour of orange of GWS. They do have different guernseys but this one of this times there's no ideal answer. I'm not a fan of forcing teams to wear a guernsey that's not one of their club colours but this would be one time that maybe they need to.

Again, Lions were like, 1.60, gamble responsibly but that's just giving away money.
If you ever see someone with odds higher than 1.50 against St Kilda, get on it because it's clearly a glitch.

Let it not be forgotten the Victorian fairytale only extends so far. The AFL'S policy toward St Kilda is, **** St Kilda.

Thanks for the stats, they're surprising and it's making me doubt all AFL ratings points
as X and Bonner don't appear to be all that much better. I wonder if it's because they're playing in a lower ranked team.

20 years later still the top 2
A possibility of no games at the MCG in week 1 of the finals.

sucking a lemon
surely they'll make it so Geelong and Brisbane host Qualifiers, maybe Freo and the Dogs hosting Elims

Yep - if Geelong were to earn a home final against say Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon then I have no doubt the AFL would schedule that game at the MCG, citing capacity and 'crowd' numbers. Not so if it's an interstate team.
Playing a finals game at Docklands against the Bulldogs should not scare us in the slightest.
How we perform against Freo in the last H&A game will be the test of whether we've truly lifted our game to be capable of beating Brisbane in finals.

If brisvegas get two home finals (which is just about a certainty) they will be one of the grand finalists and would probably start favourites regardless of the oppo given their effort in last year's granny and the old `you have to lose one to win one!'
That aside if Port can be on the other side of the draw, dodge them and win a prelim we would have to be a chance at a neutral venue, particularly if kern is still channelling his 2014 game plan, ala against the swans.
Continuing that attacking style instead of the slow the game down and the too often backwards and sideways approach to goal, with a game plan more reminiscent of the 2014 finals where we were very stiff not to get to the big dance, and hopefully not c****** up yet another final's opportunity is unfortunately the $64 question.

Port are probably better off meeting Brisbane in a knock out final rather than Sydney given how bipolar they are.

The main thing I want to see now is as little changes to the structure as possible.
We don’t want to be bringing back family favorites, injuries should be the only reason for change.
The only chance of Victorian Finals not being played at the MCG would be if all four games were in going to be in Melbourne. Then the Saturday afternoon Elimination Final might get moved to Marvel. ala 2013 Finals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_AFL_finals_series
Geelong might be able to sucessfully argue getting the Elimination Final moved to GMHBA if they're the host. Especially with it now being a 40k capacity.
Actually with the Thursday night final they probably just move the Saturday afternoon Elimination final to Sunday.
Remember last year, they screwed over Port by moving what should've been the Friday Night Qualifying Final to Saturday night, so they could keep three MCG games.

Freo are going to the mother of all reamings from the umps this week you'd think
That's the thing we could actually finish first and have no AAs in the 2024 squadLol at the AFL sites choose your AA team.
Only Houston and Butters make the short list of port players
