Geelong was not the higher ranked team in that preliminary final. They lost their QF, we won ours, therefore we took the higher ranking.Oops my bad
2019 btw you played carlton twice at the mcg and geelong twice at the mcg - one of those times being a final where geelong was the higher ranked team.
Any other years you would like to address?
2017 - 11 games at the MCG, fewer than our SA and WA friends get at their respective home grounds, equal to our NSW and QLD friends.
2021 - will now get 12 games at the MCG, just two of those against travelling sides.
Really ‘easy’ run.
