Yeah I'd be in the same boat as well. Said the any time part under the assumption that the AFL aren't idiots and have it at least 6 days after our Carlton game (So Saturday or Sunday).
Blockbusters make the most sense in Melbourne because that's where the biggest stadiums and most of the teams are.
OP is trying to compare 2 different things. Moving a blockbuster (Say Richmond Collingwood) to the Gabba would be the equivalent of moving Sydney vs Souths to Adelaide. That just...
The majority of Eagles fans are fine with the any time part, not so sure about the any place part.
It is our home game and us fans (and I'd imagine the club as well) feel like we should be able to host our home game, especially given what happened to the Freo game earlier this year. If they...
Geelong and Hawthorn was the biggest rivalry in the late 80's and between 2008-2018. Both teams were always good, hated each other and had close games. The wikipedia article on it does a really good job on it.
Hawthorn and Essendon also hate each other. Had some bloodbaths in the 80's and...
Before going into rivalries it's important to know some of the history and location behind teams.
So the big four Melbourne sides (Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond) all have some form of rivalries with each other and would normally draw at least 60-70,000 to the MCG on a normal day...
The issue is that the Eagles remaining home games are all against Melbourne based sides, so it's impossible to move a game forward whilst maintaining the home advantage and NOT being in the same issue of bringing in a Melbourne based team.
The logical thing to do is to move the game forward to...
Don't know how you have Melbourne at 4th. Best team in the comp atm
Might not translate into finals but it's a pretty good indication when you beat the dogs and lions in back 2 back weeks
Geelong achieved the least (No back 2 backs) with the most (best squad of the lot).
Could be completely different if those 5 minutes in the 3rd quarter in 2008 didn't happen or the free kick against Mooney wasn't paid in 2010
It would only happen to us where an up and coming KPF happens to get injured playing in defense gets injured the exact same time we would be able to see him perform because another one of our KPF is out.
Definitely could've worded this better
I mean I'm not sure how it works exactly, I guess the AFL will do whatever it has to do. Either way it seems like one team gets ****ed over regardless. Eagles if it's moved forward for not getting it's rest or Richmond if it stays the same because of extra time in Perth, potential quarantining etc.
I don't know if we'd agree to that given we'd have a 6 or 7 day turnaround to come back from Sydney plus or injury toll isn't looking too good.
Regardless we've been ass at the moment and I reckon your mob would beat us regardless of if the game was played round 13 or 14
On a positive note you guys will head back to Melbourne on a three game winning streak and can use that momentum in July/August/September to push for a 3peat
We've lost our best midfielder and one of our only bright spots this year to injury plus we're playing at a ground where we haven't won in my lifetime (Actually true).
Both team have a tendency to collapse late so it'll be a battle to see who can collapse less.
Game will be tied at 3 quarter...
The offer is assuming they don't want to trade him, yet would be willing to and if he hasn't specifically requested a trade.
We need young midfielders with leadership. He's only 20 and if you asked most people on the board if you'd give up pick 16 for him I feel like the majority would say yes...
We also need young midfielders who have class and show leadership. Robertson displays both qualities plus he's from WA.
We'd still have Port's second this year and (Given 2022 is probably our last chance at a flag before a retool) we take a risk the same way we did with our 2018 1st
MCG is a must, nothing like it. Having said that if it were unavailable this year and Western Australia isn't closing it's borders to teams then Optus would be the ground they should host the GF at
