Unfortunately that rule is very seldom paid which is something I don't understand

So who decides that Geelong don't play Carlton, Collingwood or Essendon at Kardinia Pk? Is it the AFL or is it the Cat's choice?
Purely Geelong's choice I believe. Interesting that a pathetic 36,000 turned up at Etihad last night. As a Geelong home game it would of been better played down at Kardinia

Take ya Geelong glasses off mate. He had 2 shots at goal earlier in the night that was very lucky the same thing didnt happen. Play on has been called before, i know Franklin has been after he has started his run. Menzel should of got free in last 30 seconds. Robinson should have got free for Lappin running into him. Brad Scott now just saying how ******* lucky they were with the umpires tonight
Brad scott?? Did the roos and cats swap coaches or is it cos Carlton lost it helps the roos?

Incorrect. Geelong have request more home games from the AFL but have not been granted them. Its not like we make any money out of it either. Made $150k from the Hawks game at the MCG but lost $150k from the Richmond game. Only club to play 15 games at the oppositions home ground with just 7 at KP. Makes it hard to believe Geelong have won more games in the AFL than any other club! Truly phenomenal!

So what you're saying Wedgie is that Geelong would prefer to play Collingwood & Essendon at Kardinia Pk rather than the MCG, even though they will get upwards of 40-50k more attending the G thus making more $ at the gate?

I'm saying Geelong woud want more games at Kardinia Park and aren't granted them by the AFL. Well that's what Brian Cook said recently, I assume he'd know more than you or I.

6 goals to 1 against the breeze. West Coke being shown up for the soft overated side they are. They are lucky we are only at half strength or it could be really ugly. Roughy back to his best

Im with ya mate and i'm a neutral, Geelong have been doing that for years. on the positive side don't think Selwood got a high free kick tonight, mainly cos he did'nt get anywhere near it.
