.............barracked for Geelong.

From the comfort of my lounge chair in Brisbane.

The old "well, I'm neutral so I'll go for the underdog" attitude.

Until I recalled the uphill battle we "interstaters" invariably face every time we venture to Melbourne.

The bleating crowds, the biased TV commentary and the Home Town Umpiring.

How bad was that Umpiring today? Frees 23 to 11 or something and some absolute shockers amongst them.

Well done Crows. We "interstaters" have suck it up 'em again.

See ya in the finals.:cool:

Well, if we finish higher than you, we should get the advantage of the home ground and vice-versa if you guys can manage it.

The way things are though, one of us could well end up with a "home" final at the MCG.

Adelaide got screwed by the system last year and if there is any justice it won't happen to them again this finals series.

Just hope it isn't our turn.
