I think you guys have got umpiring favouritism well covered... Except for collingwood that is View attachment 967555
The AFL will at least manufacture it so Brisbane make the grand final. They have too in order to sustain interest in QLD and feed the bullshit narrative, swallowed hook, line and sinker by the VFL media, that the sugar hit of a grand final, will change the game forever in QLD.
Did you read my post... It said except for collingwoodDid you see last night? Port had 6 frees kicks till half way through the last quarter.
The AFL narrative fairytale plays such a big part. If Richmond win it, good on them, they'll deserve it because I think they are third in line with who the AFL want to win. A Geelong v Brisbane Grand Final with Geelong winning is what the AFL want.

Umpiring favouritism and the AFL sponsored narrative are pretty big determiners. On this basis and from what I've seen Geelong probably have a 3 goal advantage over the mean. It doesn't always win you the games but it helps.
Whilst I understand your post, feel free to write off any team that hasn’t done it recently.
After all, Richmond going 16 seasons without a finals win to a 2017 premiership was just a fluke. As was the Bulldogs going without a finals win in 6 years and finishing out of the finals in 5 of those 6 seasons, to a 2016 premiership also a fluke. And we‘ll never see an Adelaide 97 / 98 premiership with zero recent finals experience ever again. Collingwood running Brisbane to the wire in 2002 was also just completely out of the box and unexpected. Hell, even the Baby Bombers in 93 shouldn’t have happened?
but I’m intrigued, are we good or not? Because your rant indicates that we don’t deserve to be called good, but at the same time if we don’t make the GF we are failures?
Or maybe, just maybe, a team that finishes top deserves a little more respect for their achievemeant than you’re giving it. Being in the discussion doesnt mean that we are unbackable favourites. It means that we’re pretty good to be able to challenge the favourites, and it’s not a Buster Douglas ”shock the world” upset if we do win.
Sorry, can you please map that against contested possessions total/diff and tackles total/diff stats?I think you guys have got umpiring favouritism well covered... Except for collingwood that is View attachment 967555
Sorry...can you map that against contested possessions etc etc etc.... I've already made the point I was making... A port supporter made the claim that your side wasn't looked after by the umpires, I've posted a statistic that says you are . what your asking for I couldn't care less aboutSorry, can you please map that against contested possessions total/diff and tackles total/diff stats?
You might actually find some of the reasons for the above.

I think Port could beat them if they bring sufficient midfield pressure. Their contested style should stand up in finals.Richmond are so obviously going to win again it's ridiculous
The Narrative is just perfect for Geelong.
Danger being President of the AFLPA who has been so "accommodating" in getting all the Vic clubs to quarantine in their luxury resorts.
The Little Born Again Mercenary to go out with a bang after "helping out" the AFL/Gold Coast in the early years by taking bags of money to play for them.
The AFL have been pleased at the way Geelong have handled their Luxury Resort stays with a minimum of fuss.
Brisbane are the next rung cause "quEEnslaNd sAveD foOtbALl", but the AFL don't want the home ground Grand Final advantage MCC backdoor corrupt deal to be further exposed.
Given Richmond's behaviour this year I think they've run out of credits with the AFL.
Port, yeah whatever.
I reckon you’re better off than having everyone saying Port are the team to beat for the players sake.
How often does that team win it?
I wonder if the injury to Soldo comes back to bite them at all.It's Richmond's to lose, they are absolutely cruising, go into finals with a 6 game winning streak, Jack is back in form, play their bunnies first up, reasonable chance of then playing their other bunnies (us) in a prelim, Lynch should be back and they should also have Prestia to come back in.
You know what's going around?
Brisbane supporters trying to argue they haven't had a unique advantage this year.
Tellingly, not a denial either way.You poor sods must just get together and gripe.
