Are they doing any more redevelopment of the SCG? Not counting the heritage stands, a couple of areas still look undeveloped.

OP attempting to make serious point - we had one season where the GF was not played at the MCG = proof that there is no such thing as home ground advantage

Gonna have to sail to Perth, then swim up the Swan River and dress up as Adam Gilchrist to get in

Lol go back to the VFL mate.

Former teammates?

I'll have a crack: McHenry Himmelberg Fogarty Murphy Walker McAdam Lynch Hateley Sloane Doedee McCasey Smith Kelly Talia Brown OBrien Laird Jones Crouch Scholl Milera Kaeys

Breaking: professional media pundit is more opinionated and outspoken than professional footballer. Pipe down you mug

Yes, it's the third time in history a Victorian team has won a prelim final out of Victoria... Definitely proof there is no such thing as home ground advantage... 🙄

They're doing a bad job of it

Good thing they did tho otherwise the Vic clubs would have been wound up

Momentum is a funny thing. A team gets a run on in a game, they get the crowd behind them, very easy to have an 8 goal swing depending on where it's played. The evidence does how there's an advantage. An interstate side has only won one GF against a Vic side in the last 7 attempts...

1. Correct. Richmond enjoyed a huge crowd advantage. I don't have to imagine Richmond being so pathetically brittle away from the MCG. Look no further than the elimination final against Port, or their efforts against the same opponent Adelaide, in round 6 at the Adelaide Oval. 2. And then...

I never said Jenkins was crap. You're making straw men. I said he was average. He is a role player. And it's beside the point what category of player he is. Stick to the topic. I see that you have no rebuttal to the fact that the Vic sides enjoy a huge crowd advantage on GF day

Any team that relies on Josh Jenkins to have a big game to win them a game of footy is gonna struggle. Try again. Right, so you acknowledge that Vic teams have a huge crowd support advantage...

That's a fatuous and baseless statement. Literally no one is saying that Acknowledge the discrepancy between playing at home vs playing away and pull your head out of ...

1. You concede that Richmond had a huge advantage with its crowd numbers 2. When you slept in a hotel 2 nights in a row, were you running out to play a Grand Final the next day? In front of 100,000 people? Up against an opponent who got to sleep in their own beds? Tell us, oh professional...

Because there's nothing to compare it to. If the GF was played on the non-Vic's team home ground, the split would probably be 70-30 or 80-20. Josh Jenkins is an average player. He could have played out of his skin on GF day and the Crows would still have lost. The Crows had to go play on a...

WTF are you smoking. The crowd split in 2017 and at most Vic v non-Vic GFs is 75% Vic support, 25% non Vic support. The non-Vic team has to travel, sleep in a hotel. While the Vic team gets to stay at home, sleep in their own bed, literally change nothing about their home game routine...

WTF are you talking about There's plenty to suggest they would have fared better at home. Pull your head out of your .... GFs between a Vic side and a non-Vic side are literally home games for the Vic side and you're pretending that this doesn't present an advantage...

Don't try with this revisionist bullsh%t history. The Crows were heavy favourites for a reason. Their percentage was a full 18% better than Richmond's. Crows aggregate winning margin against their finals opponents was 107 points. Richmond's was 87. The Crows were up at quarter time and...

Arguable either way. Hawthorn won the premiership after losing the best player in the comp. Crows went to a GF they should have won after losing the best player in the comp.

This is probably the biggest whole in your list (with Greenwood and CEY gone). Hopefully he is AFL ready soon, to play alongside Sloane and the Crouches for several years

Whatever is said about Fagan and Chapman in overseeing the football department, their work from a commercial pov has been above par, especially in comparison to predecessors.

Except the bits about suiting certain body types, only being played in private schools and the serious risk of lethal or paralyzing injury.

The continued decline of RU in Australia is inevitable. The sport suits only certain body types. Is only played in private schools. Presents serious risk of lethal or paralysing injury to its players. Now has serious alternatives competing for its junior players. AFL deserves huge credit...

The State would need an economic boom to make it possible. Barely enough money in the State to support 2 clubs. There's a reason Port seeks money from China - because there's not enough corporate $ in Adelaide. Build a nuclear waste dump in outback or discover diamonds in the Flinders and...

Of course they should Suburban comp flags clearly not the same as national comp flags People who claim it's the same comp are deluded

He's pretty soft. Loves a cheap shot. But will rarely put his body on the line. Decent kick.

Any word on Mark Stone getting the gig?
