Geelong In Geelong

Why do Geelong always get a home game in Geelong in the Last Round. Geelong have had home game in Geelong in the last every year except for 2011 when they plated Collingwood at the MCG since 2008.

 

Because it's their home ground? Really all of their home games should be there...

Think what the OP means is that given this is over a 9 year period, surely on average they should of only had approx 4 or 5 home games in the final round over this period. Not 8.

 

How has everyone gone trying to get a ticket. I was going to go but the only tickets I could find was seats which are individual ones I must say and the cheapest was $55. 

I was happy to buy a $29 ticket to stand but they have all gone. So now I'm not going. Hopefully now we are on the improved we won't have to go back down there. 

we will keep going there.

They play the big teams (and we are not one of them) at the MCG and the rest at Geelong.

You have to love "equalization" :rolleyes:

Got myself a ticket as soon as they went on sale to general public (last Thursday @ 9am).

There was bugger all available even then. I ended up getting one of the last 50 or so $29 seats.

Never been down there for a game and going on my own so I will assess the local rabble in my seating area before cracking out the Demons gear!

Last time I went was the 186 game! Never going back.

Scary place JRT. If we win and you are wearing red n blue, make sure to carry a bunch of coins you can throw in the air to distract the rabble whilst you run out. Also, park the Merc at least a 30 min walk from the ground, unless you like key scratches. Good luck!

I love going to Kardinia Park. It gets boring going to the same two grounds and its fun to have a proper away game. I've been 5 or 6 times - only we've won was last year. I'm away this year otherwise I'd be there with bells on.

The AFL is corrupt. 

That is all


If you've seen a Simmonds Home you wouldn't ever feel confident in one of their stadiums.

At least Max will feel some confidence going back there ,and tear them another new one .

 

Not sure we are in a position to complain.

We have been in Melbourne in Round 1 every year since 1998, 16 out of those 18 games being at the MCG.

Hardly a relevant retort to the premise posed.

What real deal has been struck that forces us to continually make our way to the the biggest home ground advantaged team in Vic ?

It's ridiculous.

My girlfriend lives one block away from Skiilled Stadium. I plan to watch it in the nearest (Geelong) pub wearing my MFC scarf!

When we start to move up the ladder more we will stop playing there. Notice how Collingwood, Hawthorn, North Melbourne never play up there


I wonder whether Geelong has played a disproportionate number of home games in the final round to help the AFL with the rest of the final round scheduling. The AFL clearly wants some flexibility in the final round so scheduling Geelong at Geelong provides more opportunities for other teams to play at the MCG and Etihad.

Having said that, 8 out of 9 is probably not quite enough to be statistically significant. It might just be randomness.

Weather forcast for next Saturday at Geelong is 16c with some clouds. Think wed rather a sunny day than rain down there.

Be decades since we won two in a row there. 

I only seen the Templeton game and another late 80s WIN when Devine coached them. 

Missed the last two and the draw. Draw actually put us into the finals and put them out

Well over a decade since anyone won 2 in a row down there

Bulldogs Rd 9, 2002 and Rd 16, 2003 (the last of a 5 win streak)
Earlier in 2003 (Rd 6) Brisbane also won their last of a 5 win streak

Correction: Rd 9 not Rd 2


Geelong have chosen to 'rest' Bartel this week against Brisbane, so he will be fresh next week against us.....

I like the ground and going down there. Been doing that for about 50 years now. Don't like our draw however but would rather go to Geelong than have to ever watch a game on tv....I want to be there in the flesh every game. Fantastic ground atmosphere when it is packed out and that's how it will be Aug 27.

Got the last two restricted view seats in the doug wade stand...$60 !! Imagine the money they make from these games.

We should've won that draw in 2006.

I can vaguely recall Pickett kicking a goal to put us 38 points up before half time.

 

I have seen a fair bit of Geelong.

Obviously Dangerfield and Selwood are handy, as is Enright.  Thier bottom six are very average.

We have the game to beat them, and I believe we should win.

Yeah I got one of those $29 seats also, which was a bargain considering the same seat was $49 last year.

The local rabble aren't too bad down there, as long as you're not in the standing room area. I was sitting next to a young family last year, all of whom were watching their iPads all day and didn't give a snot about the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
