Ah yes, let's make the fixture even more uneven than it is currently. Good suggestion mateThen give up Easter Monday, and commit to never playing Collingwood at home again
Uneven how?Ah yes, let's make the fixture even more uneven than it is currently. Good suggestion mate
Well you suggested that Geelong never host any MCG tenant which is absurd...Uneven how?
Geelong at KP
West Coast at Subiaco
Essendon at Windy Hill
Collingwood at Vic Park
Time to shut the whinging campaigners up, then see what crap excuses they come up with.
The problem is you sooked relentlessly when you had to play an away game away. Absolutely ridiculous complaining, how the hell you could complain was mind boggling.
We beat you in your premiership year at our ground and boy the tears were wild for a while there.
Only way North would get a real Home Final if we are drawn to play the Suns or GWS at Marvel any Victorian Final would be played at the MCG unless its Geelong who are the home team I could see the AFL putting us at they groundAt least 4 games at the MCG would be nice. Getting only 1 or 2 isn't fair when every final we play in victoria would be there
No they don't but they do and until the AFL let go of having same state non vic teams play each other twice, they will continue to play each other twice.
So out of Coll, Rich and Gee, who do think you will play twice.
Looks like a tough ask

I think you misunderstood.Well you suggested that Geelong never host any MCG tenant which is absurd...
No need to worry, their CEO has already meekly rolled over and accepted 9 home games again.I think you misunderstood.
I suggested if Geelong want to play all 11 home games at Kardinia Park then they will have to give up hosting Collingwood at home.
In the last 20 years, the average crowd between the clubs is 60,064. That's 25k MORE than the South Geelong paddock can hold.
Until Letters Stadium can expand its capacity to at least 50k, Geelong should expect a minimum of two games against big Melbourne clubs to be moved to the city.
I donāt have access to the data, but I dare say that the average crowd for Geelong home games v Collingwood (excluding finals and ALL pies home games for the fairest comparison) would be lower than 60k.In the last 20 years, the average crowd between the clubs is 60,064.

Higher than I thought...thought itād be a tad under 50k.Average Geelong HOME crowds Vs Collingwood since 1997 (H&A season only) is 58,594.
According to AFL tables:
Yes-- it's lower than 60k, but still significantly higher than the capacity of GMHBA stadium.

A crowd of 35k makes more money for Geelong than a 60k crowd at the MCG. Additionally the 25k locked out would be majority Pies and Neutrals which the club wouldnāt care about. The AFL does, the club doesnāt.
Once Stage 5 is done (Capacity goes up to 40k) will be interesting to see if the State Gov starts flexing and tells the AFL to schedule 11 games there.
Leading question. How often do the Pies get above 50k against interstate teams and North/Bulldogs/Saints? Because those are the only clubs we play down here.How often does the Cats get 35k @ Kardinia? Compare that to how often the Cats get 60k @ the MCG?

No reason why Pies/Dons/tigers/Hawks wouldnāt be at capacity.
