Not against the 7 other teams who also are familiar and play home games at the G.Ok. Does collingwood hold a home ground advantage at the G?
Are you still a bit slow that the other Port nuffie asked if any non-vic clubs get an away game at their home ground.That st kilda has an away game at marvel this week? I do realise that. Do you?
And why is that?
Last I checked, ther are 17 other clubsNot against the 7 other teams who also are familiar and play home games at the G.
Shall we count through the away games at home together? I know the ABCs and 123s are difficult for you fellas.Are you still a bit slow that the other Port nuffie asked if any non-vic clubs get an away game at their home ground.
Port are a non-vic team who get an way games at their home ground.

Absolutely
I still think Alex Rance was a clear BOG in the 2017 GF.Houli was good, but Dusty had 29 possessions - 22 of them contested. 2 goals and 2 goal assists. Very worthy winner.
When non vic clubs are equal on premierships (8 out of 18) over an extended period e.g. at least 10 years, ideally 20 then the thread is dead.If the top 4 teams in 4 weeks are non Victorian is this thread dead?

One premiership means nothing.
keep moving the goal posts
Poor old Freo. Don't really get that it's 18 teams competing against each other. They've finally gotten themselves into a position where they'll be challenging for a decent block of years - just as the Academy advantages begin to really kick in. Their dream of Non-Vic flags will come to be, with them losing finals to Northern clubs.When non vic clubs are equal on premierships (8 out of 18) over an extended period e.g. at least 10 years, ideally 20 then the thread is dead.

I have been consistent.
1 Premiership every 12 years, is not enough for me to be convinced that AFL does not favour vic teams.
Surely an even number of Vic premierships, to non vic premierships based on teams in league is the best measure of fairness.

The grouping all VIC teams as one group is moronic. Just as trying to say SA/NSW teams cop the same travel disadvantage as WA teams is laughable.I have been consistent.

Bang on.Premiership success is closest linked to top financial performance over an extended period. Location is secondary
The structural issue identified was footy department spending correlated to on-field performance.It will once again only take a couple of consecutive years, could well be 2024 and 2025, of no prelim final in Melbourne and two non Vic teams in the granny for there to be millions of southern hands damaged from all the wringing, and wailing demands to "do something". It will be mid 2000's all over again https://www.abc.net.au/news/2007-05-27/interstate-afl-dominance-leads-to-investigation/2560448
Because that, fundamentally, is the reason there is Vic bias - the prevailing view in Victoria that this is still the expanded VFL, not the AFL.

Has always been the way, $$ gets flags.
They introduced a footy department spending cap, so suddenly WC, Syd, Ade, Bris and Coll couldn't spend millions more than other clubs.
Travel has always been a minor, insignificant factor.
$$ and ground advantage = success

I mean it's ridiculous that the league is fixtured and set up to be solely about money, yet the clubs with money are not allowed to use that money.
Lets make the league about money and move forward.
Get rid of clubs that own pokies.
