It's got everything to do with higher or lower. This whole debate is centred around the fact that Melbourne teams get to host it even when they don't deserve it.
So if GWS finish higher in a season and make it, We should host the biggest sporting event in Australia each year at Spotless stadium ??
You interstate franchises keep forgetting, This is Our league and you will forever be the minority.
It was the VFL that you joined..
MCG is and forever will be the home of football
And unfortunately for the Eagles.. To win the flag.. That is where you have to win.. So Richmond look forward to seeing you there in September
And all the interstate teams seem to forget that during the home and away season you have a true dedicated home ground that gives you an edge, In Melbourne there is 10 or so teams sharing the 2 venues...So we dont get the home ground fortress like advantage that interstate teams get 11 odd times a year..
