Have to lean toward Andy McKay's 'accuracy' theory over dimensions.


Exactly. Second half against Sydney last year was pretty awesome as well. Warnock's miss only thing that stopped us beating the Premiers last year likewise.

Whilst I acknowledge that we play poorer there, I could have sworn it was at the MCG, and not Etihad that Essendon* implemented the same game plan on us just 4 weeks ago.

Worrying about this makes you one what Mick Malthouse calls 'a hope player'. A player who worries about the opposition, weather, ground, whose missing from the opposition etc etc rather than a player who just goes out and delivers regardless of the circumstances.

Ground dimensions dont stop you from tackling, winning contested ball, clearances, working your arse off at stoppages, spreading, two way running, nailing your opportunities etc.


This!

Correct me if I am wrong but our current home ground split is 6 at the MCG and 5 at Marvel?

History would suggest having such a high Marvel split reduces the chances of winning a premiership.

When does the current deal expire?

The club should be endeavoring to play as many home games at the MCG as possible.

This deal is like the city link toll. It's supposed to end but no-one can find the contract......

Thought I read somewhere that the Scum are looking to get out.

They’re the ones that [REDACTED] it for the rest of the original tenants.

Might be the case but a shit player culture and a lack of skill and unconvincing coaching along with “power club” hubris may also have had an influence.
