AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Yep. If they finish first and make the grand final , they deserve it. It would be a great way to grow the game there too.So when Gold Coast finish first have a grand final with 12,000 people then?
Can you read?Qualifying finals draw the same crowd as a GF do they?
They have the same logistics around it?
The same pre-match entertainment?
The same amount of officials and families who want to attend?
Ridiculous comparison.

Simple.If any of you would like to actually explain the logistics of how all this works, and not just bitch like children, then you might be taken seriously. Until then, you're just shouting into a void.
This should just about end the thread.Grand Finals at the MCG - Victorian teams vs Non-Victorian teams
1992 - Geelong def by West Coast
1994 - Geelong def by West Coast
1996 - North Melbourne def Sydney
1997 - St Kilda def by Adelaide
1998 - North Melbourne def by Adelaide
2001 - Essendon def by Brisbane
2002 - Collingwood def by Brisbane
2003 - Collingwood def by Brisbane
2007 - Geelong def Port Adelaide
2012 - Hawthorn def by Sydney
2013 - Hawthorn def Fremantle
2014 - Hawthorn def Sydney
2015 - Hawthorn def West Coast
So even with Hawthorn's hat-trick, over 13 games the ledger stands at 5 Victorian wins and 8 interstate wins.
This is one argument that is simple to debunk by just looking at the history. Non-Victorian teams can win the flag on hostile territory, and usually do.
i don't understand this, that it's not the deciding factor in the result doesn't make it any less unfairGrand Finals at the MCG - Victorian teams vs Non-Victorian teams

But wouldn't an unfair advantage if it existed mean more vic sides would win.i don't understand this, that it's not the deciding factor in the result doesn't make it any less unfair
its like arguing that it's "fair" for collingwood to forever play home games against sydney at ANZ stadium as we have a good home and away record there, no one is saying it's impossible for interstate teams to win at the MCG; only that it gives an unfair advantage to Victorian clubs (and especially MCG tenants)
The MCG is a neutral venue
well, no. if you let carlton play 19 players on field this year for example they'd have won more games but probably not more than half. advantage doesn't mean certain winBut wouldn't an unfair advantage if it existed mean more vic sides would win.
At the moment it looks as if the advantage is a myth.

What the hell has this got to do with travel?well, no. if you let carlton play 19 players on field this year for example they'd have won more games but probably not more than half. advantage doesn't mean certain win
i mean, it wouldn't be "fair" to give carlton the #1 pick every year despite the fact none have played in flags and none are the best player of their draft, would it?
Would you think that would have something to do with Geelong and Hawthorn?Since 2007 there has only been one non-Victorian Premiership team.

Not really, i think those 2 sides would win it anywhere anyway.It would, though at the same time, it seems to debunk your point.
in the H&A season this year, west coast went 6-3-1 interstateWhat the hell has this got to do with travel?
The stats show that interstate sides win the GF more than they lose.
Yep and Freo finished top, got a home prelim and the eventual premier demolished them on their home turfin the H&A season this year, west coast went 6-3-1 interstate
thus its fair for west coast to play all their their games interstate next year as the stats show they win more interstate than they lose
Not really, i think those 2 sides would win it anywhere anyway.
8>5 interstate favorYour point was "But wouldn't an unfair advantage if it existed mean more vic sides would win".
And the answer is that, yes, they do win it more than non-Victorian teams.
