Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 2

Ah yes it must be tough to be the Pies.

It’s extremely harsh having them leaving vic twice over the last 3 months of the season. Must be really taxing on them.

Perhaps we can find some more advantages for them to even this out.

Tis much for physically and mentally taxing playing Showdowns every other week.

Would be great to get a few more lil 1 hr trips away for a soft off broadway game with no pressure and a glut of home ground advantage games that Port enjoy.

That way we could undeservedly finish top 2 like Port often do, only to be shown up and lose another home final.

As a humble Port Adelaide fan, would you send Eddie Maguire to Taperoo? LoL

???
AFL era in GFs

Pies are 1-4 against non Melbourne teams
Pies are 2-0 against Melbourne teams

Pies want to play a Melbourne based team in a GF

Pies Want to play a Victorian based side in a grand final?

You mean like Geelong in the 2011 grand final? Oh that's right you Said Melbourne based sides.

You want magpies to have all but one game at the MCG. The other game is in Docklands lol

Do you dread travelling to Docklands? LoL

Have a read of the third WA club thread. It's primarily Victorians who want it.

Apart from our Freo friend here, most WA people don't want one, and if you look back to media reports from 2006ish and 2015ish, years both Eagles and Dockers were doing well, that's when it raises its head in the mainstream (Victorian) media.

I do want a Tassie team, but generally speaking there should be fewer clubs all round.

I don't mind a 3rd WA club if it eases the travel burden on both eagles and dockers.

Tassie coming in as team 19 is good. I do want Canberra to come in as team 20.

That means barring the Northern territory, each state or territory has at least 1 AFL side

Would rather the Pies play a home game on the Gold Coast then at Docklands.

Clubs have created ground advantage when travelling - Hawks in Tassie, Gold Coast in Darwin.

A 2hr flight and spend a week(s) on the Gold Coast and play 2/3 games there would be great compared to playing 3 games at Docklands against teams who play there more than we do.

So magpies vs Saints at MCG isn't a home ground advantage for the magpies?

But vs a non Victorian side it is? So you want more non Victorian sides in this comp?
