(Can I first clarify that this isn't a knee jerk reaction to last nights loss. I've been meaning to post this for a while)
Are we the only team in the AFL that doesn't have a home ground advantage? I certainly think that this is the case. We are easily a 6+ goal better side at the MCG or any other large ground. Personally I don't think that we would of dropped our recent games to West Coast and the Western Bulldogs with the wide open spaces of the MCG to run into and use.
Ian Collins did sweet f#ck all during his run as CFC President, but his legacy is hurting our team for many years after he has been gone. It may cost us a premiership. (For the record, I know that Collins stepped out of the Etihad negotiations, but his influence obviously got us to Etihad).
I noticed that Carlton unsuccessfully tried to switch our game Vs Hawthorn to the MCG this week. This is potentially another home game that we could lose due to our unsuitability and lack of any advantage at our 'home' ground.
Personally, I would be happy to see the Carlton board negotiate our of our stadium deal and move to the MCG - even if it did cost us money and set us back financially a year or two. Our premiership window is about to open and we may throw away any chance we have at glory thanks to Ian Collins and his dodgy deal.
