A lot of talk on inequality in footy happens every year... But geez is there a bigger advantage then playing a home ground GF when you are the bottom ranked team?
Well considering that the GF is held at the MCG every year.....Im sure WCE are more than welcome to play more games there throughout the season if they want.

This is the result when teams are gifted Grand Finals on the basis of home town umpiring.

Violet Crumble when they gave to compete on merit.
Can you North campaigners shut the **** up? Your club is old and shit and nobody cares about you.

There can be only one...
Caro said last night that certain AFL commissioners want the Hawks to fall over because they are making a mockery of equalization.
AFL have made a mockery of equalisation, Hawks got all their talent before all the compromised drafts, adding in GWS and GC have siphoned off a huge amount of talent that hasn't got to the next tier of teams.

FA really hurt the concept of equalization. Hawthorn won't slide - when some of their players get too old, they'll just swap them out for guns in their mid-20s from lower clubs who will want to go to Hawthorn because they think that's their only way to see success.

Probably not, but I think we all accept that to win it you have to win at the 'G. The spectacle is worth the cost IMO.
