We were also playing and losing to Geelong in Melbourne. In general when we played Geelong it didn’t matter where we played them, we lost. But then we beat them and it was all the venueThanks.
So up to 2017 Tigers were playing and losing to Geelong in Geelong. And then the Tigers started winning these Geelong 'home game's when played at the MCG.
What a fortunate change in fixturing.
Almost as if Geelong are more familiar and confident playing in Geelong v Richmond. Massive benefit to the opposition giving up home ground advantage to play where the Tigers are very comfortable v playing somewhere they rarely win.
Tough away game that Geelong trip.
Some teams just get a leg up from AFL fixturing and avoid playing in Geelong. Lucky Tigers. Just like being gifted an early kill against Carlton when they were rebuilding.
