Oh the poor things !
W. Coast Travel East a dozen times for the season!
Hawthorn DONT DESERVE a HOME Grand Final but thats just the benefit the Victorian teams get regardless of whether they deserve it or not !
The AFL is all about making money and Maximizing the value of their product, couldn't give a rats about fairness.
so what you're saying is WCE should've had 3 home finals? You're dreaming. I reckon it wouldn't have mattered anyway, on yesterday's form, Hawks would've beaten them anywhere. Yeah, it is about $$ and so it should be.
But if Collingwood finish top or second, they would receive three home finals.
The reason this happens is fundamentally ridiculous, and wouldn't happen it the AFL was overseen by a genuine custodian of the game
But its does happen and there's no discernment between the good of the game and making money here. They take the money almost every time, and it's killing the game.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
