Strategy If we beat the Lions, do you want to play at the Gabba or Metricon?

[THE THIN MAN]

If?

Never depend on Port Adelaide (Power, Tarps) etc.

I would actually go Metricon. We've played the most games there and im pretty sure we've won all of them?

Yes, we have.
But we play well at both grounds and might give us an edge for the granny to play more games at the Gabba.

As I said earlier though, for me personally, I hope we play a game at Metricon too.

Games played at Gabba and Metricon this year. Brackets are for the first final.
We can disregard Brisbane as we can't play them again until the grand final which is at the Gabba.
This doesn't take into account how each team played at each venue, just experience there for the year.

Rich M 6 G 2 (1)
Port M 6 G 4
WCE M 6 G 4
Gee M 4 G 3
Bris M 4 G 9 (1)
Dogs M 8 G 1 (1)
Coll M 0 G 7
StK M 3 G 6 (1)

So theoretically:
no advantage vs port at metricon, disadvantage at the gabba
no advantage vs WCE at metricon, slight disadvantag at the gabba
slight advantage over Geelong at metricon, no advantage at the gabba
Bris - NA
slight disadvantage vs dogs at metricon, slight advantage at Gabba
Collingwood - Big advantage metricon, disadvantage gabba
Saints - advantage metricon, disadvantage gabba

So we should definitely play the pies and the saints at Metricon if we get the choice and the other clubs it doesn't matter so much either way.
