It’s ‘whinging’ with an h old thing.

Did my post hit a nerve did it? Didn't realise it was a spelling contest..
"Whinging with an h"...?? Did you mean 'Whinging with (a) h' not an.
Just for the future before you try point out a spelling error maybe conduct a spell check on your own grammar you old thing. Jesus you lot in Geelong arsomething special

How did that go in 2013 again Fremantle lol?

You play a final without your Key Forward, Ruckman and Key Backman and see how you go.....oh wait that doesn't count for Geelong, but Richmond...let's bring out all the excuses.

If we beat them, they'll win the flag. Losing their penultimate game during this odd year is a must if they want to go all the way.

I forgot about the odd year part. I’ll be going for Brisbane for sure that round. To good an one. Guaranteed flag then.

You tried to point out a grammatical error to riposte someone - but you actually got it completely wrong yourself.

It is a traditional rule of English that an can be used before words that begin with an H sound, if the first syllable of that word is not stressed. This prevents an awkward pause between words. Would you say 'a apple', for example?

The letter h is correctly pronounced aitch, so an aitch is another good example.

Geelong Back 6 > Richmonds premiership back 6.
And i really mean that, watching geelong is a thing of beauty

If they play their home finals at Kardinia Park then they have this thing in the bag.

Didn’t help us against Freo.

It wasn't directly in a sentence.
Should I then "riposte" it?

Google it if you don't know what it means.

My reason for the Geelong being the most advantaged by country miles;

With their 9 games being played in Geelong (Only Vic side who has a non shared home ground) & gets to train on it. Then having the "away home ground" which is only up the road. Interstate teams have to travelling by air every fortnight & having to play at the MCG for finals after getting only 2 to 3 games during the year on it. Cats 9 almost lock in wins at the cattery a year gets them a foot already in the finals door & on top of regular experience on the MCG. By far the most advantaged.

Before the attacks, yes Collingwood & Richmond are also more advantaged then any interstate teams with MCG experience however have to regularly share the MCG with all Vic sides without training on it.

As for Hawthorn coming in 2nd place they have the luxury of their exclusive home ground in tassie on top of regular MCG experience.

WA teams have to travel up to 10hrs a day every fortnight on top of GF at the MCG... most disadvantaged.

Looking forward to the winging Geelong posts.

Posts like this should be banned for stupidity. Yes us playing home games in your home city in front of mostly your home fans where our stars get endlessly booed is somehow an advantage for us and not the ridiculous disadvantage it actually is.

I love everyone bringing up the Freo 2013 game as a reason why we cats fans don't want home finals.

Ask any richmond fan how realistic it would be to win a game, let alone a final without:

*Your best forward
*Your only ruckman
*Your best keyback

as well as having your best small forward on the bench for the first 3 quarters (the ******* substitue lol)

They'd tell you we were playing our VFL side. So yes gloat in this funny tidbit, but with a full strength side we'd much prefer to play home games at our home venue, just as all of you would.

Why say all that, even if you were full strength, when you can just say one game worth of data doesn’t mean anything.

Now your home record over the last few years would be much more indicative. And without looking it up, it would be awesome. You’d be more likely to win a game in Geelong than anywhere else.

I agree that a rational argument would not be based on one game. But it's the only thing people bring up, so it's best to tackle it head on and discredit it.

The rational argument is that 14/18 clubs receive home finals at their venue of preference. Obviously this should be rectified and made 18/18.

Not in 2019 - 11 wins, 4 at home and 7 away. 100% success rate at MCG in 2019, only 80% at home.
