Collingwood does though

And what their opponent wears..

think you'll find clubs want to play the filth at the G....thats why getting our membership numbers up and crowd attendances up is a very important part of the marketing plan....you want to play at the G you have to prove your worth it....

And where their supporters sit and what facilities are available to them.

I think we should be able to win anywhere in Melbourne and not be a bunch of sooks about it.

couldn't give a Rat's toss bag about the win loss record at Etihad. Like others have said a good team will win where ever they have to play. But is it any coincidence that we have played 4 of our last 5 at the shit hole and our injury list sky rockets??? The ones that can play are sore as @#$%&!. The simple fact is prolonged exposure to the Etihad hurts players. Thanks Collo... you self serving prick

It's killing our players

I reckon its much less the ground and probably more the effect the game plan may be having on the players....we are not used to playing to a plan and the press can be quite taxing....fitness is crucial to its success and we have looked tired for a few weeks now....we may be running out of juice....

No one is a genius until you succeed....the game plan is new and its tiring to implement week in week out and dont forget with one less player rotating off the bench this season and you can see the resulting effect....the filth have re-jigged their press this season they use it in shorter spells and once the game has been blown wide open they pull back and cruise....
