Go for it mate, just because you think you have this "point" doesn't mean you are right.

OMG, where do you get off?
Go read my initial post.
Now if you want to keep at it, go find me one of these "footy leagues" that have this rule.
I would take a guess and say if there are any, for every 1, there will be 20+ that don't.
Look mate, just go find me another Footy league that has this rule you strive to have, I doubt this is one.
If you do find one, then go follow a club in that league, you know, it will have the rule you are crying out for, maybe pick a club that can make it's was on it's own without handouts.
If your point is that dogs played hawks at the G (where hawks have played their home games), then is it true that there is an equal an opposite benefit to the Hawks, and the net disadvantage to victorians sides is nil?

119 of bias?
I think I am starting to understand you now, you think if 1 Vic has and advantage and the other a disadvantage, then that = 0.
If this is you reasoning, I feel sorry for you.
I know you non-Vics have this attitude, that if a Vic loses it's a win for you all, but seriously, if this make you happy.....
I follow Collingwood, not Victoria, if we play Port or Geelong, it's the same.

The NFL Doesn't. The Superbowl is played at a predetermined location chosen for its climate and size of the Stadium. 42/67 of which have been in Florida, Louisiana or California.

According to you
Don't change the goalposts now mate, you said "earned the right to host the GF"
I'm still waiting for you to show me which footy leagues have that rule.
If we’re talking about “vic bias”, which we are because it’s the subject of this thread, then isn’t a disadvantage for the dogs and an equal advantage for the hawks completely irrelevant?

I can't believe Non-Vics like Port get a Northern Academy advantage. They're an established footy state. FFS.

If that's the way you think.
But if you do think that way, then what's wrong with me thinking, you just have a hate for anything Victorian, whether they get shafted or not.
Which league mimics the AFL model?

They do that for the money obviously, because a fool and their money are easily parted.No.
The two vic teams who "earnt" the right to a home final are the only teams who didn't get one in weeks 1-3 of finals.
The AFL instead fixtures those games at the G to maximise attendance.
And Sydney supporters think they are hard done by, despite the AFL not shifting their game to a larger venue to maximise a crowd until week4 of finals
Its a Victorian thing, it clearly doesnt work in NSW for example, which is why they used Engie last night.
The AFL model just followed ever other footy model in the country?

Does basic fairness allow 4/18 clubs to have an academy?
WAFL Grand Final is at Optus which is no team's home ground and isn't used at all during the season except for the Grand Final
But the only example of them “getting shafted” you can bring up is one where they face another Victorian side?
So no team earned the right to host it then?WAFL Grand Final is at Optus which is no team's home ground and isn't used at all during the season except for the Grand Final
Well i'll be.
You mean like if the Bulldogs play Port at the MCG, they are 2 Victorian sides?
A proper neutral ground is preferable to one hosted at a team's home ground that didn't earn the right.
All I heard in the media in 2018 was how the MCG was a neutral ground despite Collingwood being one of the team's playing
