This match up makes perfect sense for the biggest home and away fixture on the AFL calendar.
The biggest club being Collingwood.
The most successful club being Geelong.
Rotate the game between the MCG and Kardinia Park.
Collingwood vs Essendon has become too one sided.
Sorry but how does that work? Collingwood is not the biggest club that would be Richmond, Geelong is not the most successful club that would be Hawthorn. The Cats home ground is too small to accommodate ( just look at the 90+ at the game yesterday).
Collingwood are the 5th biggest club and Geelong are equal third for success

By your logic is should be Richmond v Hawthorn at the G. But we all know the traditional rivalry between the Pies and Bombers make it a great spectacle with huge numbers year in and year out.
