Where were our opposition from though? I don't know why the idea of a neutral game is so hard to understand for some people.Because the club had to travel once two weeks in a row?

You do realise you won by 1 goal right? Even in the wet it was a coin toss at the end. Rioli does not hit the post and its a draw.
Don't bother as they just do not understand this logic.Because the club had to travel once two weeks in a row?

So where should Richmond play it's home games?Not travelling, sleeping in your own bed, getting into your own car, parking in the same spot, playing in familiar environment, basically having the same training and game day routine 7 weeks in a row in the most fatiguing part of the regular season.......it isn't much of an advantage. Ok
cut the genuine home advantage bulls**t. there's no denying the tigers have the best preparatory conditions in the latter half of this season to make an assault on the premiership.
and it's not a knock on the MCG being their home ground. just don't deny that playing every match at the same home venue for just about 2 months or 14 or so matches over the season there is a welcomed quirk of the fixture for richmond.
So the answer to this is to fold 8 Victorian clubs. Is that what you're suggesting?Because the club had to travel once two weeks in a row?

I don't think Interstate supporters are suggesting that, that would be a travesty. I think acknowledgement that The Big 4 Vics get a decided advantage over Interstaters in finals is the key here. Imagine if you will, Fremantle not travelling for 18 or so games and the last seven at home.....Jeez they might even have a cup by now.So the answer to this is to fold 8 Victorian clubs.

They’d have to play about 12 games against you for that to happen, not sure they would.I don't think Interstate supporters are suggesting that, that would be a travesty.

2 of the last 7 were home games for Collingwood and Melbourne. Where do you suggest we play them?So where should Richmond play it's home games?
Given that Richmond playing 10 home games (your game gets to play 11) at the MCG and 1 at Docklands, How is the fixture quirky? How are we different to any other MCG tenant?
Please link to you posts complaining about how unfair it was that Richmond only playing 6 of it's first 16 at home. Or was that OK?
Given that Richmond play only 10 home games at our home ground it way too many, how many should they play? 6? 2?
Should there be further rule changes to 'bring Richmond back to the pack'. Should the opposition be given 10 goal head starts? Would that make you feel less victimised?
No one used to complain about MCG tenants because historically it's actually been a disadvantage. Richmond weaponised their MCG game plan, and entitled supporters from other clubs have never stopped whinging since.
This is a bit rich coming from a Swans supporter. No club has ever been given bigger advantages or won premierships on a less even playing field than the Swans.
You left Melbourne 5 times, hard timesRichmond only playing 6 of it's first 16 at home. Or was that OK?
lolTigers finally playing a true premiership contender (2nd game of the season against a top 4 side) and they’re getting absolutely shown up. What a bunch of pretenders.
no actuallyAccording to Richmond fans, the umpiring is atrocious.
But also according to Richmond fans, umpire performance is soley measured by free-kick count - hence why "[Insert team] are given a ride each week because [Insert free-kick count]".
The free kick count stands at 11-11, so what is it? Could it be, perhaps, that free-kick count has no strong correlation with overall umpiring performance?
Interesting observations...
loleddies barracking and umpiring for richmond is making me sick. just called out 3 bulls**t non frees.

except we won the 2nd qtr in the dry, so how does your logic stack up?Great game to watch.
If it doesn't start raining WC probably win by 10 goals though.

It’s been scientifically validated in statistically robust sleep studies that jet lag (fatiguing changes to human circadian rhythms) are more pronounced when flying EAST.
That the Eagles have had to push s**t up hill in this regard and still win premierships is a testament to this club. It has always set the bench mark for the comp.
As for the umpires, my subjective opinion is that they are cheating VFL campaigners. But hey, that’s not statistically valid.
Need some more salt??Don't bother as they just do not understand this logic.
