Actually, back in the 12 teams VFL days we did, indeed, have 11 home games- one against every other team. That included Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton, Richmond- all the then "Powerful" clubs.
But you are 100% right- we need other users to fill the ground as often as possible.
I don't think that's correct.
I stand corrected! Thanks for that, I'd forgotten that prior to 1970 we only had 20 rounds for the season and 18 prior to 1968. We did play half of them at home, however- often getting 35000ish for Collingwood games.
One or two teams escaped the trip down the highway each season... they must have celebrated when the draw came out.
1970 was the introduction of Waverly Park and the horrible beginning of surrendering a home game began... and it still goes on...
