They whinge because they get a massive advantage playing away games at their home ground against us, they don't want to give up that advantage and everything else is just bullshit.
Not my position, from this article direct from Hocking to members at the AGM.
“There is a state government contract that is in place that requires all Victorian teams to play ‘X’ amount of games at both the MCG or Marvel Stadium,” Hocking told members at the club’s AGM...
Geez now we even have Cats fans saying this
The reason we don't get 11 home games is due to the contracts the AFL have to play a certain number of games in Melbourne.
They then let the likes of Hawthorn, North, Bulldogs and Melbourne sell games outside Melbourne leaving them short of the...

What if play is continuing?
Do they have to wait for the next stoppage that may not happen for quite a while?
