2018 Fixture

[mateinone]

Rumour is that we will be playing the Cats at Geelong next season!

We have no home ground because of the AFL and now we're going to have to play the only ViC club with a distinct home ground advantage. I am utterly sick of Geelong being pampered by the state Govt, AFL and the media.

How the F#*+K are we supposed to get to watch the game?!!

If we play them in Geelong it will be because we are no longer a big enough draw to demand the game gets played in Melbourne, much like what happened with the draw this year with their game with Richmond.

Geelong are a Geelong club, not a Melbourne club and unlike us and other Melbourne clubs they made the decision to invest heavily in the redevelopment of their stadium, with assistance particularly from the council. They were down the path of only playing interstate teams this way. They created this situation and generally now have the right to demand their games down this way.

We could have taken this path, but we chose to leave our home ground.

We might well end up playing Hawthorn or North in Tasmania as well if we can't draw crowds here anymore.

The solution? Start winning games and drawing big crowds again.
