[Tiger2709]

I hope they haven't extended it for 18,000 years.

Well not formally as yet but you know it's going nowhere for a long time.

May be if they traded home town free kicks for a home final, sorry, they probably wouldn't win enough games to worry about it.
Yeah I know, piss off.

17 grand finals between Victorian / non-Victorians. Victorians won 8. Non Vics won 9. What's the problem?

The fact that you actually think its a fair setup.

History shows us it is a "fair setup".

Im always mystified by the "well they can win here too" argument.The disadvantages of the system dont go away just because they can be overcome.

If playing away from home every time is a "fair setup", then lets play every GF "away" from the MCG. Its "fair" surely?

But won't change so moot point.
