What, the Geelong is part of Victoria and is a Victorian club argument?
Yeah well it’s a real winner innit?
Seeing as Geelong is indeed a Vic club.

Have you had a stroke?Oh. I didn’t realise.
You’d better whinge even harder
I mean just the one this time?
Oh sweetie. Let it go.
The adults are very tired of your tantrums.
Learn to play nicely with the other kids. It can’t always be your turn.

In 2016 there was at least one player in the league I know of who relied on having a second job. So if that is the criteria the professional era started very very recently.

Don't worry. They said the same about Hawthorn when the Hawks had a total -108 free kick differential against them across their four recent flags.

100%. Hawthorn’s probably the only other Victorian club that is in the same boat as us. Apparently receiving umpiring bias without the actual statistics backing it up.
Maybe Essendon and St Kilda too.

It turns out it doesn't actually matter much when you are streaming any of your recent flag finals.
Always makes me feel good anyhow.

Only way yor team will win another flag is that a non vic side like Freo or GWS are your opponents.

I guess you believe the myth about the 666 rule was to stop Richmond. lol
Nah most people agree with my view it was to nullify ross lyon tactics.

It's strange that the Vic supporters always seem to band together at finals time. You get shit like Essendon supporters going for Richmond, or Carlton fans cheering on the Dogs or Demons.
You won't see an Adelaide supporter barracking for Port, or a West Coast fan supporting Freo.

I’m talking about the free kick count. No one can convince me that Richmond got an on-field ride due to #VICBIAS over the last 6 years. Our free kick differential is too much in the negative for that.

What about the free kick count in the 2017 AFL Grand final? LoL

I don’t know what part of Victoria you’ve been, but the people I’ve interacted with mostly go for non-Victorians during finals.
It all depends on how many campaigners the non-Victorian side has tbh.
For this year, I hope GWS win the whole thing. The last teams I want winning from the Victorian sides are Collingwood and Carlton. From the non-Victorian sides, I don’t want Brisbane winning.
I’m kinda neutral if any of St Kilda, Melbourne, Port Adelaide, or Sydney win.
So it’s not just jump on a Victorian side for me. It may be for some, but definitely not for me.

That Adelaide side lost by bloody 48 points lol. No point talking about the free kick count for any margin above 36 points. Anything between 30 points and 36 points is pushing it, but there are rare cases where umpires could’ve been a factor in the loss.
Don’t accept umpire excuse after a 48-point loss.
Yep...I don't venture into the eastern suburbs much these days but the west and north-west are abominable, as is the CBD itself...filthy, homeless everywhere, more and more high-rises creating a soulless, cold, windy overcrowded sh*thole - not the same Melbourne as it used to be.

Exactly. You think we want to put up with smug supporters at work or school or the pub whose team is the finals?
I'm 100% on GWS (love the way they're playing btw) with a soft spot for the Saints (for the hardcore fans that surely deserve to see one flag) but the rest can get stuffed. If Adelaide had got in over GWS, I'd be on them.
The AFL umpires games in its own interest, sometimes those result in Victorian biases, very often it does not. Exhibit A - the umpiring in Carlton v GWS last night. With GWS, the AFL's pet on the line, and Carlton already secured a home final, the AFL umpires made sure that GWS got the run of it through a series of atrociously biased umpiring decisions in favour of the Orange Tsunami. Feel bad for Bulldogs fans...
