Geelong earned themselves a home final. Yet they are playing at the G. That isn't right. The game of Australian Rules should be a common sense game. Not a game that shifts and moves things just for a $$. At the end of the day this is still a sport, and teams still play for the chance to host a home final (giving themselves a better chance to win). Geelong did that, yet they are playing at the G. It is not right for the AFL to do that. It is not right for the AFL to do a lot of the things it does. It isn't right for the AFL to allow some teams to have ambassadors, and others do not get that luxury.
Where were you last year when exactly the same thing happened?
Why can Geelong request to play Hawthorn at the MCG on Easter Monday when it suits them?
If Geelongs stadium could only hold 1000 people is that still OK? If not, how large does it have to be before it is ok?
The tax payer has paid for Geelong's stadium. Geelong has contributed less than 10% of the cost. As a tax payer and member is it not fair that I gave a right to get a reasonable chance to get to see my team play live?
The rule has always been a home state final and nobody has ever said it is unfair before. Why all of the sudden now?
Is it fair that Geelong gets a huge home ground advantage during the year to allow it to win more games more easily than teams playing at more neutral venues? It then plays such a team in a final at this same neutral venue, the same one it requests itself to play at on Easter Monday, and then complains it wants it back in Geelong. Incredible.
It isn't as straightforward as you stated above. Fairness has to run both ways. One team cannot possibly get all the advantages all of the time.
