Haha very Richmond-like to call a period of time with no flags a "winning era"Your record at the MCG is not flash, barely above 50% in a winning era.Why did the club not change the ground dimensions during the latest construction to something less radical?
11 prelim, 92 semi final and 91 prelim final at waverly.Trivia Question, have West Coast ever played Geelong at the MCG in a H&A match? I'm thinking no. Are the 92 and 94 Grand Finals the only time Eagles have played Geelong at the MCG or was there another final some time?
In what way is it unfair? Didn't those clubs have a choice? Didn't they sell out for cash? Stop blaming Geelong for your club's lack of foresight.I do think it's unfair to all the other Victorian clubs as they have to play their home games at the dockland or the G.
Can't help the opposition we play. If your club weren't a bunch of cowards they might have a chance to change that record.You get 7 to 8 soft wins at Kardinia Park every year, you can't dispute that.
It's actually thinner on the Moorabool St side.This photo is a few years old. They could make the street further away theoretically.
Going by that argument West Coast have an unfair advantage then. Because they’ve got a great record at Optus Stadium and prior to 2018 seemed to really struggle at the G. Also, what about Richmond having an unfair advantage at the G? When playing against all those non MCG tenants?You've got an unfair advantage and it gets you to the finals ,you struggle to win finals at the G for whatever reason.
You just got flogged by Geelong at the G.You've got an unfair advantage and it gets you to the finals ,you struggle to win finals at the G for whatever reason.
koziSocrates your standard Richmond troll account starts thread. demondavey your standard nuffie tries to point score on the back of it, followed by a bunch of clowns who take it all seriously.
Just a normal day on bigfooty.
West Coast have to travel over 2000km so it's totally different.Going by that argument West Coast have an unfair advantage then.

Your argument also ends up contradicting itself; you say they have an ‘unfair’ advantage, yet when they get to the G they can’t win? Wouldn’t that be better for MCG tenants?
Also, I don’t think you’ve really explained why from 2007-2011 they probably didn’t lose a final at the G in their premiership years. Maybe they were just a better side?
And finally, WTF is it with Richmond supporters arcing up at Geelong fans? Is there even a rivalry bar the 2017 QF? Imagine if Hawthorn fans started up with everyone they’d beaten in finals?
You just need to drop it.
Any new Geelong thread should be mod-reviewed for duplication. It's getting ridiculous.We really needed another thread on Geelong started by a Richmond supporter.
Nah, just let wannabe moderator, demondavey, review them all for us.Any new Geelong thread should be mod-reviewed for duplication. It's getting ridiculous.
Ok so it’s not an issue to drive an hour or so down the highway then?West Coast have to travel over 2000km so it's totally different.
The Main Board shouldn't turn into a haven for duplication if the same topic. Geelong are playing well, can they win the Premiership? We don't need a variation of this question on a week by week basis.Nah, just let wannabe moderator, demondavey, review them all for us.
What are you talking about? There's a thread called will Tom Lynch ruin Richmond on the MB? Bigfooty is awash with Geelong supporters you represent 1/18th of all clubs.Any new Geelong thread should be mod-reviewed for duplication. It's getting ridiculous.
Ok...... problem solved?No it's not.
The thread really should have ended after this post.Played 4. Won 4.... MCG
Including 3 top 4 sides from last season.
So no.
Trivia Question, have West Coast ever played Geelong at the MCG in a H&A match? I'm thinking no. Are the 92 and 94 Grand Finals the only time Eagles have played Geelong at the MCG or was there another final some time?
Geelong d WC in the 2011 PF at the MCG.Nope.
4 finals at the MCG, 1 final at Waverley, 1 H&A game at Waverley in 1991. The rest at Kardinia Park.
Geelong used to play 9 or 10 home games a year at Kardinia Park until Docklands came along. From 2000-2006 they played no home games at the MCG and from 2007 onward have played a couple most years. Haven't played all home games at KP since before Waverley was built.
If you are going to have home games in Melbourne it makes no commercial sense to have them against non-Victorian teams.
WTF is your problem?Nah, just let wannabe moderator, demondavey, review them all for us.
Look I've said this before, but being forced to play at a radical shaped ground where half your team has never played, seems an unfair advantage to Geelong. West Coast had zero chance of getting the 4 points this year and to me it skews the fair balance of the comp.I'm not alone in these thoughts.Ok...... problem solved?
