Statistical data comparing the cost of living between Melbourne and Geelong, shows how much the Melbourne teams are getting screwed!

All Melbourne clubs need a higher salary cap! Or...
Simple question with an obvious answer in my eyes.. YES they have become too powerful!! How is it a team can win a grand final by a huge margin, yet still be able to get their hands on pick 7... and trade in players for peanuts who were previously drafted in the first round, just because they...
Sydney's/South Melbourne's record in grand finals is pretty poor to say the least..
As South Melbourne... they won 3 grand finals while losing 8.
As Sydney... they've won 2 grand finals while losing 5.
Only Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton have lost as many or more grand finals.. and these...
Geelong would be the oldest team to win a premiership ever if they win it this year.. nearly half their team are old enough to play in the EJ Whitten Legends Game... ridiculous.
Geelong remind me of Geelong 2008.
15 wins in a row heading into the grand final, smashing teams with ease all year without really going full throttle.. because being able to play on their terms with everything going their way = getting comfortable winning games in cruise control. Lots of...
Their qualifying final odds have drifted slightly over the past week. Not sure why that is?? Unless Collingwood supporters are confident in their team being able to cause an upset.
Anyone who's played footy knows how different it is playing games on your training ground.. compared to playing games on a ground you don't train on. AFL clubs have built training grounds replicating the MCG and Docklands dimensions, however this doesn't come close to replicating the actual...
Interested to see how deep in finals both Geelong supporters and neutrals alike think Geelong will go. Last year they were stopped by a virus, so there's no excuses this year unless lighting strikes twice and a virus rips through the team again in the week leading up to a knock out final.
It's simple. Lower Geelong's salary cap by 15%. The reason why this needs to be done is because the cost of living is much lower in Geelong compared to cities like Melbourne and Sydney. Small coffee prices in Melbourne have been seen costing up to $6.70 and iceberg lettuce prices have been seen...
Carlton as a club now are where we were at as a club in 2000. It'll be hilarious if Michael Voss coaches them to 9th in his first season with them like Frawley coached us to 9th in his first season with us.
I've said elsewhere that this year was the time for Koch to write up a succession plan for Ken, much like Eddie did for Malthouse when Malthouse had been at Collingwood for 10 years with no silverware to show for it.
Not having a ruck all year hasn't helped Ken but he's been there 10 years. Koch really should have written up a succession plan this year, like how Eddie wrote up a succession plan for Malthouse, after Malthouse had been at Collingwood for 10 years with no silverware to show for his tenure.
