If Western Bulldogs had not played in Sydney/Darwin they may have
won 15/16 wins , got the double chance, played in Melbourne tonight
instead of Perth ......
If West coast gave up 2 games in perth and went to Sydney/Darwin
and finished on 14/15 wins .......
Also not only did they give up home games , but they travelled and were
tired playing the week after.
My point being these sides finish 5th- 8th instead of top 4 by losing
on the road, that makes an enourmous difference.

Im sick and tired of this anti-Victorian shit.
My parents are just as bad as KG in that they say "but teams like Collingwood get 17 games at home a year".
I argue that 14 of those games are against other Victorian teams so in essence they get about 3 true home game advantages a year.
I also love the Crapertiser's AFL premiership table everyweek.
According to the Crapertisers's AFL table a Geelong game versus Essendon in Melbourne is counted as a home game for Geelong.
WTF?????
I heard a true blue South Aussie ring up Dumb and Dumber on 5AA this week trying to point out that this anti-Victorian crap is embarassing for true followers of football in this state and he got cut off and accused of being a Victorian despite living his entire life in South Australia.
I'm sick and tired of this anti-Victorian crap, as I try to tell my parents and others, if Collingwood fans had the choice of beating Carlton or Porth, they'd choose Carlton any day of the week.
If a Darwin side joined the SANFL, would side would you most enjoy winning against, Port or Darwin??
Well done mal and others that can see things are they truly are. I hate chip on shoulder attitudes no matter who has them or where they are.
I honestly can't believe the way people in this state fall for Dumb and Dubmers and the Crapertiser's rubbish, there's no coincidence that most of them don't follow SANFL with a passion as they wouldn't a true footy game if it hit them in the face.

Both ended thier seasons on wet tracks, something they are not
used to as most as other teams, the rooftop causing that !!!
The immediate future of Victorian teams looks bleak as they continue
to play some home games interstate.
With so many teams having Telstra Doom and MCG as home venues, that
negates a clear home ground advantage compared to the interstate entities.
The AFL is delighted to see flags to Brisbane and Sydney in particular, with
some advantages afforded to them[especially Brisbane] but to the detriment
to the Victorian teams.
The expression 'kick a vic' is in mode, and don't we love it.
