How many wins do you need to make top 2? 15, 16 most seasons. We get 10 with home ground advantage. We have to win a bunch of games on the road to get there.A decent interstate team (non-Vic) has a high chance of finishing top 2, given the advantage they have of accumulating wins at home against visiting teams during the season. It is often easy to predict at the start of the season that a certain non-vic team will earn two home finals... and thus very likely make the grand final.
Vic v Vic grand finals are thus rare.

We also get 4-6 more clear away games. A majority of which we have to win to make top 2That's about 4-6 more clear home games than Vic teams get
Playing 10 home and 10 away games helps you finish towards the middle.A decent interstate team (non-Vic) has a high chance of finishing top 2, given the advantage they have of accumulating wins at home against visiting teams during the season.

I'm not. I'm comparing Vic vs Non Vic GFs. At the time of that post it was 8 wins a piece. It's now 9-8 in favour of Non Vics.Surely when comparing the number of non Victorian teams that have won a grand final to Victorian teams that have won a grand final, you can't use games where there were two Victoria teams or two non Victorian teams playing each other . In each case there would be no home ground advantage.
The OP is about home ground advantage. There can't be a home ground advantage unless there is a Vic and Non Vic team in the GF. Currently that is 6-3 in favour of Vic teamsI'm not. I'm comparing Vic vs Non Vic GFs. At the time of that post it was 8 wins a piece. It's now 9-8 in favour of Non Vics.
What happened the other 8 times a Victorian team met a non-Victorian team in the GF?The OP is about home ground advantage. There can't be a home ground advantage unless there is a Vic and Non Vic team in the GF. Currently that is 6-3 in favour of Vic teams
In the last 16 GF's there was only Vic and Non Vic Teams met 9 times to give a 6-3 result in the last 17 years thy have met 10 times to give a 6-4 resultWhat happened the other 8 times a Victorian team met a non-Victorian team in the GF?
Why unnecessarily cut down the sample?In the last 16 GF's there was only Vic and Non Vic Teams met 9 times to give a 6-3 result in the last 17 years thy have met 10 times to give a 6-4 result
Why unnecessarily cut down the sample?
Why would that make sense? The GF did not change at all.Assume it was based on the current finals system and not the previous one which would make sense.
If over half their games are against fellow Perth based teams who are competing for the top 4, then yes, that's fine by me.Lets see how you truly feel about it (if you can be unbiased for just a moment)
This season 2019 WCE will travel just 4 times for the season. Those away games will be against 14th, 10th, 12th and 6th. Nice. Happy days.
They get handed this draw after being top 2-4 throughout 2018.
To start the season the AFL gives them...
Rnd 1 Perth
Rnd 2 Perth
Rnd 3 Perth
Rnd 4 Perth
Rnd 5 Perth
Rnd 6 Perth
Rnd 7 Perth
Sweet leg up to kick off the season.
...and to finish off season going into finals they will get this
Rnd 16 Perth
Rnd 17 Perth
Rnd 18 Perth
Rnd 19 Perth
Rnd 20 Perth
Rnd 21 Perth
Rnd 22 Perth
Home finals.... Perth
GF..... Perth.
10 games straight in Perth.
If WCE cannot win a flag with that assistance they are kidding themselves.
Thats the 2010 season. An absolutely disgraceful gift that should never be allowed to happen again.
Why would that make sense? The GF did not change at all.
I’m pretty sure it’s because if we go back just 3 more years, it becomes 6-6
That would be fair if it was the final 5 and one team had an objectively easier build up. The old final 8 required both teams to win a prelim and beyond that it really has no effectNo but how to get to the GF did. Just as important.
No but how to get to the GF did. Just as important.
We’ve gone around in circles about this previously kranky but let’s look at this season as an example. Richmond could likely play fellow mcg Tennant hawthorn in their first final and then Collingwood in the prelim. So for those 2 finals Richmond’s advantage for finishing top is nothing, naught, zero. The eagles however will have a serious home ground advantage in both their finals with fellow Tennant Freo out of the finals.
Do we complain? No, it’s all swings and roundabouts.
