Yep, Melbourne played 2 bastardised games.I don’t know how you can still not get it. Both clubs play 2 bastardised games, which cancel eachother out. The tiebreaker is where West Coast played a neutral game in the NT (according to you), while Melbourne get an extra home game against the marvel tenants.
Surely that extra home game tips the scales in Melbourne’s favour!
Youve fudged the numbers as hard as you could and WC still didn’t come out on top
And by fudging the numbers I mean pretending WC had a familiarity advantage at Marvel in Melbourne. Do you know how ridiculous that is? You don’t apply anything consistently, Ive had to correct you twice already , if you think we had a familiarity advantage (lol) playing our 3rd game v 2nd at Marvel against the pies, then Collingwood must be the most advantaged team in the competition every year. They have a familiarity advantage in every single game, neutral or otherwise on the MCG. You don’t even give the demons a familiarity advantage in the NT when WC had never even played a single game in that whole State.
Caught out every time you’ve had a go, cant name a single non Victorian club who had it better than north or hawks in 2019 when asked repeatedly. Fell flat on your face with your effort here with WC / Melb. Gone to embarrassing extremes without applying them consistently, continually flip flopping and contradicting yourself. You can just wear the L now and we can both move on. Cheers
They also gave up 2 further home games, not just one.
So as said, even if giving Dees the same advantage for a game against the Dogs at Etihad as the Eagles get against the Dogs at Optus, the Eagles come out ahead.
What do you think familiarity means? Playing more games at the venue than your opponent had. WC did this 11 times in 2015.
Games with full HGA, WC 10, Dees only 7
Games with full away disadvantage, WC 7 to Dees 5
If both teams play just a single game at a venue, nobody has familiarity advantage.
And yes, in 2015 Collingwood had 12 games where we had familiarity advantage. That is what you fail to get.
WC have 10 games with full blown home advantage, Melbourne ground rationalisation killed that for the Melbourne teams. We now have ground familiarity, playing at the G 14 times instead of 10...it ain't the same as a home advantage.
What you have clearly shown you fail to grasp is that familiarity advantage isn't the same as a full home advantage.
The numbers speak for themselves, non-Melbourne teams advantaged. WC more advantaged in 2015 compared to Melbourne...it helped them finish top2 when they didn't deserve to.
