Yep, hopefully better luck than a few of our lot has had. One bloke was coming in from Toowoomba with Qantas and they cancelled about a hour ago, has to bus it to Brisbane and get on a 1pm flight. Tiger in Melbourne cancelled one last night and delayed one by over a hour this morning already

Surely if Geelong are good enough to earn a home final, they should be entitled to play a home final.

If the ground is good enough for night games and regular season fixtures through out the year, then surely it's good enough to host a final.

Then Geelong can also play their home "blockbusters" against Collingwood, Hawthorn & Essendon at Kardinia Pk during the regular season, not at the MCG going on that argument. Also if St.Kilda, North, Western Bulldogs or Essendon ever earn a home final, it should be played at Etihad, yeah?

Josh Jenkins talking flags already.

“Oh 100 per cent (I’d love to beat Dangerfield) — they do have to get there first so they’ve got to take care of their business,” Jenkins said on Fox Sports.

“But if he marches into town with his Geelong teammates, there’d be nothing better than beating him and reminding him that perhaps he should have stuck around with us and he could be a Brownlow Medallist and a premiership player.”

Essendon have now replaced Richmond as the club to have gone the longest since their last finals win.

34k (which IMO is ridiculous, spent all those millions on the upgrade should at least hold 40k)

Yep, shouldn't be too long before we are back on the winners list though. Probably not this year but should be in the mix soon enough
