Cheering for the Interstate clubs in the last 3 rounds

[Rimmer]

Usually I am all for the Victorian clubs to dominate positions in the 8, better one of us than one of those outsiders who have invaded our VFL, but this year I have come to the conclusion the more interstate clubs in the finals the better.

Consider ... we will finish on top, it gives us potentially 3 games at the MCG (if all goes well). Melbourne, Collingwood, Hawthorn and Geelong are all in the hunt and all of them play multiple games on the MCG every year (a few less for the Cats). Yes we have been beating them all on the MCG but they are more accustomed to the ground than the WC, GWS, Sydney, Port (even Adelaide) group all in the bustle for final 8 positions.

Seems to me the more of the interstate clubs who have limited opportunies to play at the MCG that make the finals the better our chance of back to back.

Ideally we meet a couple of Interstaters in the finals hopefully going through the the GF and West Coast disposes of the other MCG co tenants over in the West. We then meet WC on our dung pile for the big dance.

Feels to me this would give us the biggest edge.

Easier to get tickets too

Better for the melts too.

I am a fan of easier ticket access, hopefully I get more than one ticket per membership.

Juggernaut.
The club should petition the League to play all of our games at the G.

We've been trying for years to get our home games at the G with no success. I don't like the chances.

I’m talking every game.

I’m talking every game.

I know, I just figure that if we can't even get 11 home games there, we've got bugger all chance of getting 22 games there.

West coast winning is a good result today. Most likely they stay in 2nd and gws have to play them in Perth.

This and this.

Just dont want to face North or Geelong. Either one of them is a danger - regardless of where they finish, or how good they are. They just play well against us. Other teams are fine - if we are good enough - we win. If we lose - well, fair enough, we got done by a better team on the day.

With North and Geelong, we find ways to play poorly, and they find ways to win against us. AND IT DRIVES ME F*********** MAD!!!

I don't want us near Collingwood. If I have to listen to one more injury story I will be sick.

 

[Thrillhouse!]

If sydney can win there next 3. the ladder predictor had them sitting 4th. Would be perfect result for us. Would spank them at the G.

Gws will beat them, they struggled to get past port who had 3 players down.
All going well for us it is hopefully us v gws in the big one.
Just hope lids is fit enough to play might be the only way he can bring himself to watch us win

 

[Hundred_Thousand_Tigers]

I’m the same, want to maximise our home ground advantage and increase the stock price for the salt industry.

Only issue is the MCG is literally not big enough to fit us all in.

 

[Bojangles17]

yea id prob prefer interstate oppo , we cant impact that much though. im just doing routine tests on my ticketec ap so its on song when finals tickets are released, with 100,000 members , they're not gonna last long , especially if Versing another Melb based team

I like both these things.

Yes to interstate sides winning, our flag chances improve significantly if we have a genuine home ground advantage and don't have to play a Hawthorn, Geelong, Melbourne or Collingwood.

 

[maskmcgee]

If sydney can win there next 3.

They'll be lucky to win 1.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. The gap between Richmond and the rest of the competition is larger than Geelong's gap in 2007.

want us to play pies in the qulaifiying final

would be a 1980 style floggin

Agree they'll beat the Eagles, but the trip would be an arduous one for their ongoing prospects.

 

[Tonymontana344]

V GWS again, this time we'll get 100k & they have injuries.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Gws and wc should make it. Hopefully Sydney or Port squeeze in

 

[HTT]

I want Vic blood. Winning the prelim and GF was great but winning the QF and seeing all the Geelong supporters filtering out despondently was delicious.

That's loser talk, we own the League and everything in it.

 

[YeOldTiger]

Well, lolnorf and lol Scott brothers in general. Both teams doing their bit to NOT make finals this weekend. Geez they talk a good game those two. We might be beatable but hey fellas, ya gotta get there first !
