So i ask you this if it was the other way around and all the non-Victorian clubs all had to hub in Victoria and Rich got all its games at the MCG would you say * then? Prob not you guys would be gloating to the hill?
Okay at least we get the remaining goals ourselves
The afl have gifted richmond for the last 3 years
The short rest between games is only a disadvantage if your opponent gets a long break. It's all relative.
Geelong have played 4-5 days on from their previous game, but so did their opponents!
The Cats enjoyed an extra day's rest when they flogged a tired St Kilda who played 4 days prior.
Geelong face Port tonight who've had an extra 2 days rest, but that's the first time that's happened.
It's not as though Port are "well rested" either. They're the ones who are travelling and they've also played 3 games in the past fortnight.
The Cats had an easy training drill vs the tired young Saints. Port played an epic 4 qtr battle vs the reigning premiers.
If you want to compare fixtures between Geelong and Hawks
Geelong
3 games with home advantage (Haw, Carl, Suns)
4 games with away disadvantage (GWS, Freo, WCE, Adel)
6 games on neutral turf (Melb, Bris, Coll, NM, StK, Port)
Hawthorn
1 game with home advantage (Bris)
6 games with away disadvantage (Geel, GWS, Syd, Freo, WCE, Port)
5 games on neutral turf (Rich, NM, Coll, Melb, Carl)
Games where one team had less than 7 days to prepare:
Geel 6 v Suns 7
Geel 5 v Bris 5
Geel 7 v Coll 6
Geel 5 v WCE 6
Geel 4 v NM 4
Geel 5 v StK 4
Geel 4 v Port 6
Haw 6 v Rich 7
Haw 6 v GWS 8
Haw 5 v Coll 7
Haw 6 v Syd 7
Haw 6 v Carl 6
Haw 6 v WCE 7
Haw 6 v Port 8
The Hawks were drawn to play the Top 5 sides from 2019 in the first 6 rounds (and away games scheduled vs Swans, Freo, WCE and Port)
Not once do we get the advantage of meeting a tired team coming off an short week. Not once.

Interesting you mentioned Richmond 2018 which saw us finish on top 2 games clear and subsequently play our 2 finals against fellow mcg clubs and enjoy no home ground advantage. Has this or could this ever happen to an interstate team?
Would I take it? Yes of course, would I look at it the same way as 2019 or 2017? Not a chance.
Ah yesThe short rest between games is only a disadvantage if your opponent gets a long break. It's all relative.

He brought it up. Not me.
Nah not at all
I like the midwinter flexing from Cats fans
Nah mate. It’s just so enjoyable to see Hawthorn so s**t.
Didums. Did the bad, bad AFL only give your widdle club a 4 game head start over big bad Wichmond?
I know right? The Eagles were definitely entitled to an unearned and undeserved 2019 premiership, and are completely justified in whinging infernally about it ever since.
The classic mindset of a richmond supporter right here. Absolutely obsessed with west coast for no apparent reason.
I'm surrounded by WC supporters. Half of which never shut the * up. This would go some way to shutting them the * up.
