Spot on.The MCG Grand Final is a blight on the competition but of course nobody in the Vic controlled media wants to talk about it.
In the modern era of the last 20 years, Victorian teams are 9-2 when facing non-Vic teams in Grand Finals. Victorian teams are +472 across 11 grand finals. It's an absolute disgrace. Locked in for another, what, 40 years as well?
If you go back further you get Brisbane coming off of an amalgamation with a cost of living allowance able to put together the greatest list of all time, and then the 90s where the Victorian teams hadn't adjusted to the modern era yet and got beaten by effective state teams a few times. But since we got through that teething issue era for Victorian football, they've hammered home that MCG advantage again and again.
I saw video footage of MCC members that probably support Carlton, Melbourne or Richmond scrambling into the G when gates opened to grab an unreserved seat. **** the whole league, it’s an utter joke.
