2011 Draw

[Ed D]

If Collingwood play Fremantle 20 times in Home and Away games; how many home games should Collingwood get and how many should Fremantle get?

I'd like an honest answer please.

How is this for an honest answer, if Freo moved to Melbourne and played all their home games there, they'd be in the same position as EVERY SINGLE MELBOURNE BASED TEAM where they play 3-6 interstate games A YEAR and the rest of their games are played Melbourne.

Think about it, why would Collingwood play games against Melbourne based teams anywhere else? Pies played 9 out of their 11 home games at the MCG and then played teams that either moved their own home games to the MCG to make more money or teams that already play their home games at the MCG. It's like saying it's unfair Freo always play West Coast at Subi! Where else are they supposed to play?

Anyway, I hope you're complaining on the Melbourne Demons board about this, because they played 14 games at the MCG last year. Also go complain on the Saints board because they played 14 games at Etihad. Oh shit the Bulldogs played 13 games at Etihad, Kangas 13 at Etihad. Essendon only travelled interstate 3 times, Hawks only travelled interstate 3 times outside of selling home games. You have a lot of Melbourne teams to complain to!

Opposition clubs beg to play their home games against us at the MCG. They do it because its worth a fortune. Tell opposition supporters that when they whinge..

99% sure that the Gold Coast's first home game at the Gold Coast, will be against us, at approx round 10.

Nup, Gold Coast vs Geelong (First Ablett vs Geelong match) will be the first AFL game the GC play at Carrara.

Good to know.

From all reports we have a bye round 2 so I'd say Sunday twilight, given also that it is Port.

Unfurl the flag round 3 @ G v cheats.

I bet its at Etihad the last 2 years we have had our first games there .
