The Bulldogs. Seriously what have these losers ever done? If they get a slow rover who bites, kicks and scratches they give him a Brownlow. Same goes for plodder Ruckmen who can't kick. They've played in two Grand Finals since 1925 with just one premiership. It's a record that would make South Adelaide blush.

Yet for the last four seasons we keep getting told how these bozos are going to go one step closer. 66 and Shoedo have chimed in with predictable entries in this thread but at least St Kilda have made a few Grand Finals and the reason why the AFL is rated is it is because it is a nationally televised competition.

regards,

... and will they be dumb enough to ditch a (potential) dual premiership coach?

Would probably be the club with the most hype for the least amount of success over a sustained period of time.

We'll hopefully get a few priority picks, favourable father and son selections, a huge amount of games at the grand final venue, and we'll be right back up the top again. Nice of you to respond to my post when i didn't mention anything about Collingwood too :D

If you are still here in 5 years.

Ive never quite understood the MCG bitch - you do realise it is our home ground?
We play 8 home games there & 13 overall
Port Power play 11 home games at AAMI & 12 overall.

Maybe Port Power should become a co-tenant of the MCG & save us all a load of $$$$$$$

The grand final is played at the MCG every year, its AFL policy. An interstate club like Freo could go through undefeated, but not have the advantage of playing a home grand final, Collingwood could scrape into the finals, then make grand final and have home ground advantage. I've said it before, but the draw should be configured such that Collingwood doesnt play a game at the MCG in the last 3 rounds. I wish the AFL made their decisions based on fairness and not money.

Sorry but I have to disagree. There is absolutely no evidence that Collingwood gains any benefit from playing home games at the MCG. Let's get serious they've only won 3 premierships in 50 years there!!! The West Coast have done better and they hardly ever play there.
If you don’t like my words, don’t listen. If you don’t like my appearance, don’t look. If you don’t like my actions, turn your head; It’s as simple as that.

Melbourne play 13 games and Richmond 12 at the MCG

So, none of them should play the last 3 games there?

As I said before, maybe Port Power should play their home games at MCG - probably get more people there anyway
