Opinion Will Geelong's boutique home ground ruin the Cats final chances?

[Socrates2]

Geelong incredibly get 7 to 8 home games at Kardinia Park every year.It's a ground they play well, but it bares little resemblance to the MCG where finals are played.Is this skinny ground ruining their premiership chances?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Played 4. Won 4.... MCG
Including 3 top 4 sides from last season.

So no.

So no.

Recent history does suggest otherwise.

 

[Underarm]

No. They play plenty of games at MCG each year and they play it fine.

 

[Socrates2]

I think

No. They play plenty of games at MCG each year and they play it fine.

I think they have lost 6 out of their last 7 finals there.

Imagine if Geelong got 13 home games like Richmond gets 13 games at their home ground in 2019...

Richmond will be exhausted from all the travel they'll have to do with their last 7 games this season.

 

[Strange Cat]

Imagine a home side playing at their home ground

Shock horror

Richmond had lost 6/8 Finals at the MCG before 2017. You think we should blame the ground for that too?

We really needed another thread on Geelong started by a Richmond supporter.

Can we just merge or get rid of this? Topic literally done to death.....

Trivia Question, have West Coast ever played Geelong at the MCG in a H&A match? I'm thinking no. Are the 92 and 94 Grand Finals the only time Eagles have played Geelong at the MCG or was there another final some time?

This is a legitimate thread, have a look at the stats. If you can have the thread 'Will Tom Lynch ruin the Tigers' up for 12 months, this thread is perfectly acceptable. Look at the Cats finals record at the G mate.

Incredibly get? You think we should get less? None?
What are you smoking

I do think it's unfair to all the other Victorian clubs as they have to play their home games at the dockland or the G.

Mate we all know this. Seriously. Every year this happens. There is also a thread called ‘are Geelong unbeatable?’. This is essentially a sub topic.

There are more discussions about Geelong and their finals record than basically anything else.

But it’s their home ground mate! How is it unfair? I mean seriously. They have an average finals record since 2012, with you beating them comfortably in 2017!

What exactly are you expecting this to turn into? I’ll help you; a bunch of Geelong fans getting defensive and bunch of Tigers fans saying ‘you can’t play the G’.

Ok Nuke it then

It’s not my job to.... just raise it in the current Geelong thread trending.....

other clubs chose to dump their home grounds and play at waverley and then in the city, didn't they?

How come you're not complaining about the Tom Lynch ruining Richmond threads? It's a farcical proposition.

Because they were forced to by the AFL.

OP has melted so hard on the bay his crappy threads have made it to the main board.
