Good to see the AFL have finally put a stop to this Crows/Power merry go round of having to play R22 in Perth.

whens the last time Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond, Carlton have played at Skilled?


Richmond played at Skilled last year Dutchy but I have to think back for the other three. Geelong chose to play those clubs in Melbourne to maximise attendance. If your mob could settle on a home base and could actually draw a crowd (which would make it easier to settle on a home base of course) then you wouldn't be shopped around like a fading whore. It will always be 'stupid programming' until each team can play each other twice. Until then the interstate sides and the 'power' Vic clubs get first bites of the pie so by the time the Rooboys (and to a lesser extent the Cats) get to the table there's jack 5hit left.
