Which Collingwood fans are defending AFL House?It is only Collingwood fans defending AFL houses terrible running of a competition. Wonder why just that club?
Collingwood fans know we get a good deal compared to Melbourne based teams.
But the reality is that AFL House shafted Melbourne teams via Melbourne ground rationalisation.
The successful teams of the 21st century are those who retain a home ground advantage.
The disadvantaged teams are those who were forced into shit stadium deals, and so relocate home games, giving away home ground advantage in the process.
AFL House has eroded the basic underlying premise of a H&A fixture, having equal home games and equal away games.
The WA wowsers try and hijack it into a did you get on a plane or not, which aint ever what home ground advantage has ever been about.
