Geelong supporters rewarded for booing
Well this is a novel way to make home ground advantage even more intimidating. Geelong's Simonds Stadium has always been a fortress for opposing teams and now the Cats have come up with a plan to make the venue even more menacing.
In partnership with fast food outlet KFC, if any opposition player kicks the ball out on the full from a set shot inside 50m, every Geelong member and ticket-holder will receive a free Zinger burger.
"Boo for a free burger"

Geelong's supporter booing influencing games at Simmons Stadium?
In front of a crowd of 32,266, the Cats would enjoy a 28-17 free-kick advantage, with Hardwick claiming a combination of the ground's skinny dimensions and local crowds were as big an advantage as the Crows and Power had at the Adelaide Oval.
The Cats have asked the AFL to fixture nine home games at their redeveloped home ground next season, with two in Melbourne.
