How many KMs have Collingwood travelled? LoL
AFL 2023 listed players
North and Hawthorn do 10 trips, the same as Port.
1.The AFL fixture and geography.
Collingwood notch up 19k km
Since this was a Port comparison vs Collingwood. Port travelled 4 more times - one more return flight every 6 weeks...
No! These Collingwood fans will never give up.
How many games did they play as the away team at their home ground?
Collingwood fans don't want to play at Docklands and would happily trade all those games for interstate games. Playing teams like west coast, both Adelaide teams ECT at Docklands is not a home ground advantage for us it actually helps the opposition I'd rather go and play west coast in Perth. There are many indricises in the fixture that people with lower footy IQ don't even consider. Like a proper home ground advantage vs extra travel. Instead the argument is we are the victims so we want reperations or something ridiculous along those lines. Everyone is quick to complain about their clubs issues they don't like with fixturing but so quick and ignorantly responding to others concerns and rebuttals. What is any of it achieving? Nothing at all and I don't see people being constructive trying to come up with something better other than the occasional reactionary response. There's a reason why everyone jumps on the look at how great Collingwood have it but don't question how it's possible Collingwood has played Sydney 6 times out of 26 games at home. Buddy Franklin played us once at the MCG since 2011 and it was in his last season I believe. Look head to head vs any interstate club and you will find we play any of you interstaters less in Melbourne, on average I believe for every 5 games the opponent has 10. But yeah that's Vic biased
. Hell we finish bottom 6 and end up in the top 4 for the hardest draws which has always happened because we are a big club. You don't hear these facts because you can't argue against stupid haters and pies fans actually enjoy all of this it comes with the territory of being a magpie. We will play you any time anywhere and we know 9 times out of 10 we will be up for the fight which can't be said for a lot of other clubs which probably dervives from a culture of victimhood. Hell I've never heard a Collingwood fan even complain about us having to play Bulldogs, Saint Kilda ECT at their own home ground as our home game. If we were anything like the Vic biased crew you'd know every Collingwood fixture indricises and more but you don't hear it because we don't care to moan and groan and play victim every chance we get. Maybe it's just an interstate thing to make themselves more relevant in the AFL world because they can't attract the clicks.
No shit, as the point is that the vic clubs aint the same.
Do you mean neutral games with no significant advantage to each team?
Why would you take those games out?
There is only one goal in the AFL and that’s a premiership. If you ain’t first, you’re last. Nothing can trump this gigantic leg-up Victorian teams get.
It doesn't actually give a very good indication for Geelong though.
The exception that proves the rule.
That's not bias though
Even then the 'vicbias' sentiment isn't going to go away, has always been and always will be.
1. How's the ladder position bias?
