Needs to be said over and over coz it gifted the Pies a flag in 2010.
Same gift happening again for the first time since.
Imagine if Sydney finishes top 4 two years running including a flag then gets told they can have their last 7 games at the SCG, when they will be playing finals there AND the GF is played at the SCG.
Imagine if WCE got handed 7 games to finish off the season at Optus this year.
It would be a scandal the Melb press would make sure could never happen again.....but it is.
I think the Tiges play like 5 actual away games this year, and even they are against mobs that finished bottom 6-7 mainly.
Bugger it, i should give Gill a call and blast him about it....just after I ask him "Baker or Ross ? "
Sydney would miss the finals if they had to play at home for the last 7 weeks.
Interstate teams have home grounds. Melbourne teams do not.
Maybe your club just pissed too much money down the drain on Buddy and Tippett thinking it would get them a flag and became too top heavy #justsaying
By the way, the most successful NRL team for the last two decades has to deal with the same thing. Hasn’t worried them #GoStorm
Swings and roundabouts. Or if you really can’t get over it, there’s always the NEAFL.
