I reckon you might live in or around Geelong. If so, this disqualifies you from any rational argument you think you may have. Be careful. You may start growing whiskers.

Not wrong at all. You make a profession of it though.

I live in Geelong but also believe, like yourself, you don't play big sides there unless you can fit opposition supporters in as well. Despite living there it'd unlikely i'd be getting in, like the Richmond supporters found last year
On another matter, we have 4 Friday night games this year.

So we're playing a home game whereby 2 other teams have already established home bases......can someone please explain the logic in that??? Do I get a discount on my home game reserved-seat membership, seeing as I have no intention whatsoever of attending that particular game?
What a crap decision by the Club......worked a treat when we last did this against Freo up at the Gabba......FMD......

I'd agree with you if this was a home game, yes it would be a silly move now that 2 other sides have targeted this extremely neglected market down here. Mind you I think you might find that North supporters will be outnumbered at their "home" game for this one. I also agree with you that from now on selling home games interstate (or overseas !!!) is a ridiculous exercise, there are no untapped interstate markets left like the one that existed here in Tas and Hawks & North have got their frigging feet in the door here now unfortunately.

That is one of the lamest retorts I have seen Jim and I have seen your Casboult arguments.
Not to mention the certainty by which you dismissed Richmond's form against Geelong as being Premiership form.
But if you keep going one will fall your way.
You are wrong, it happens in sports all over the world and guess what... it is happening in the AFL too.
You may not like it, but it doesn't mean the clubs or sporting organisations here or around the world listen to you.
Take English Football a FAR bigger sport than AFL and they allow about 3-4,000 seats for the opposition.
What about trying to get a seat to see the Chicago Bulls when Jordan was playing? Surely they should have found a bigger stadium?
Perhaps Atletico Madrid should play their home games at the Bernebau so more people can watch it ;D :
Delusional
Geelong owe Carlton supporter absolutely NOTHING and if the shoe was on the other foot and we had our stadium and it was a significant advantage to play there against Geelong I would want us to make that decision. It is a joke to think they give the slightest damn (or that they should) whether many Carlton fans get to see the game. There will be some ticket available online and the option is there to try and get them or miss out. Simple

You're the professional wrong man. Talk so much crap. I'm close to the point I just pass over what you have to say as I get sick of shaking my head at your posts.
Casboult's proved his worth here. You're just too weak to admit you're wrong. Club thinks he goes ok, you're ego doesn't.
Here, where a capacity is 34,000, you can only fit one side in hence you move the game to a bigger ground. There was a reason why we never played Essendon and Collingwood at Prices park in the end. Cats get 7 home games, that's good enough. Not as if Carlton can play at PP. Collingwood at Victoria Park, Essendon at Windy Hill, so Geelong did get a big advantage by keeping their ground as it is. Don't care what happens on grounds overseas when you have to travel miles to a ground as an away side. I'm talking what happens here with 10 sides in the one state where supporters can go every week.

Easy tiger... I counted 11 home games.
