If it's Hawthorn not making the trip down the highway then you can just about guarantee that they will only be drawn to play Collingwood once next year as there is no way they will send them down there ever.

    I'm struggling to see the outrage in this as per above.

    Means that one more VIC powerhouse has to go down to pay Geelong (eg - Carlton, Essendon or Collingwood) rather than JUST the usual third class citizens like us, the Dogs and North.

    Having said that, nothing surer than Collingwood playing Geelong once next year, with Collingwood being the home team. Or if they do play twice, Geelong will be the home team....

    .....at Gather Round.

    The money from a home game down there with a clean stadium is enormous.

    Think you may now find with the increased capacity they will want to play Collingwood at Kardinia Park

    Their problem is that they need a crowd of 70k at the MCG to match the money they make from a 40k crowd at the MCG. Few competing clubs will deliver 70k crowds

    Good, they should play 11 home games down there. The fewer home games they play at the G the less likely it is we will be scheduled a home game at Docklands.

    Not to mention with the amount of government dollars pumped into the stadium they should be using it as much as possible.

    Good result for the Cats, and hopefully means we see a more even fixture with the big 4 being sent down there. I also like that Easter Monday remains at the MCG as it's a marquee game, but in the years the Hawks host they should get the extra home game at Geelong.

    All for Geelong to play 11 games at their home ground. 

    The real question that should be asked is should they be allowed to play at a venue that is as wide as a bowling green and is so far off the dimensions of every other professional ground that it is almost a different sport down there?

    If they played one game a year there it would probably be against us so no harm done.

    McClure on 3AW said it was completely unfair on all the VIC clubs and could not believe this was going ahead.

    At the end of the day, it's their home ground. They're entitled to play as many games they like down there.

    Their home finals get played away from their home ground, which more often than not is their undoing.

    I don't see Geelong missing the finals any time soon if they get 10 Home Games down at the Cattery.

    Kinda makes me want to vomit.......🤢🤮

    Not only should they play 11 games down there, it should be rotated so that EVERY club plays down there at least once every 2 years.

    Fat chance of that happening, though

    As long as all Clubs are sent down there…

    We shouldn’t be the only Victorian opponent…..

    I'm hearing that we will be playing the cats twice next year with one of our sold home games being us playing them down there also.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
