Everything comes back to 'maximise revenue'.That's a fair point. It's not like Collingwood or Essendon play there.
Richmond did until a few years ago, but not likely to happen now they're good.
It's almost like the AFL manage their schedule to maximise revenue...

Wind has too much of an effect, which occurs at no other stadium around the country. How can teams be used to it when they play in those conditions once every 2 years compared to North multiple times each season?How is the ground not AFL standard?
I'll keep tryingWrong again.
What? They showed a wind sock and it wasn't movingWind has too much of an effect, which occurs at no other stadium around the country. How can teams be used to it when they play in those conditions once every 2 years compared to North multiple times each season?

If that was the case then why are clubs like North and Bulldogs in the league? They lose money and have to be propped up by the clubs that actually make a profit.
The AFL would 'maximise revenue' by getting rid of them

We played Geelong at GMHBA stadium last year.

From horizontal?What? They showed a wind sock and it wasn't moving
I know. I was talking about Tassie.
Why did West Coast have to play in Hobart this:Per the title, as we as a club (alongside Freo) travel more then then any other, why did we have to play in Hobart this year?
This isn't just because we lost - many on the West Coast board were expressing the same thing before the game. Richmond, as the reigning premiers, have travelled interstate four times this season. The question I have is why couldn't they forgo one MCG game to play North in Tasmania, rather than us having to travel even more? Why couldn't we have the extra game at the MCG?
Surely, as a national competition, interstate sides should get extra games at the MCG, rather then just adding to the already massive travel load for teams not in Vic?
Lol it was deflated and looked like there was no wind at all todayFrom horizontal?
It wasn't windy today.Wind has too much of an effect, which occurs at no other stadium around the country. How can teams be used to it when they play in those conditions once every 2 years compared to North multiple times each season?

It's not about today's game, it's about another disadvantage that is not shared by every team to make it an even competition
Why don't you stop making excuses and take it on the chin like other Eagles supporters.
Maybe you lost because the Eagles didn't play the best today.
Travelling,G.F's at the G, training at grounds, playing in Bellrieve.
There is a pattern here and its getting old stop embarrassing other Eagles supporters ffs.
The problem is the stadium is not AFL standard as the wind plays too much havoc which results in a massive advantage to North as they play there regularly.
This problem as an away team should be given to every team in the league, not just certain teams, that is the problem
Unless you want to build the game in China, then you can demand the AFL take your opponent's home game away.Home teams should be able to play home games wherever they want. No right to request where to play away
How do you define regularly?As I said no problem with the ground (even though it is not AFL standard and should not be used) just that not every team is forced to play there regularly
It's not about today's game, it's about another disadvantage that is not shared by every team to make it an even competition
There was no wind.Under the roof marks would have been marked rather than dropped and wind would not be a problem
You're aware Blundstone is one of the best maintained grounds in Australia right? It's very much AFL standard.As I said no problem with the ground (even though it is not AFL standard and should not be used) just that not every team is forced to play there regularly
