Yep. Broken record for years but facts are facts.

let us all keep punching Surrey - there are 3 on our side now

Watching that last night was pretty sad for Carlton long before you even think about the on field advantage of having your own patch. Not sure how there could be any argument that says such an advantage does not exist.

not a good day to discuss club 29- i am so angry Carlton is playing in Tasmania - an insult to our brand, membership and history

but then again - Carlton boards since 2000 have continually insulted our own brand that got us into this position, which I fear will stay and never recover

Was it our choice to play there?

Yeah, I'm spilled milk too, but let me state the obvious, just on the playing advantages let alone financial or otherwise

1. This is our turf, you are not welcome here, you do not have an even chance of winning this game, @#$%&! off, and enjoy the cold showers while you're at it
2. This ground only holds 30000, we will pack it out with our supporters, your supporters won't get in, it isn't even worth turning up, you'll only get shit seats if you do get in, and your team will inevitably get beaten. And that's not to mention how unpleasant it will be for you being so outnumbered.
3. Our ground is an unusual shape, different width and length from any other ground, our grass is different, we cut it differently, the ball bounces differently, the winds are flukey, we train here 4 times per week, we play here every second or third week, you'll only get to play on it once a year at most, you may not have played here for 10 years except when we meet you here in the first week of the finals, you'll never become familiar with it, you won't know how to kick for goal, your game plan won't be adapted to the unusual shape of the ground yet it suits us perfectly.
4. Our supporters will outnumber you 5 to 1. Our crowd will drown you out, it will influence the umpires, we will get more free kicks, the umpires are always influenced by this.

And so on and so on

Not to mention that those hillbillies from Geelong had almost their entire stadium redevelopment and therefore financial future funded and assured by the State Government and our taxes while we almost went bankrupt paying for the Legends stand and PP redevelopment all by ourselves, all of course to no avail
PS. I have found that I am much more likely to post after a few drinks

Yeh, playing at home at the MCG has benefited Richmond and Melbourne big time

Exactly. Not a proper home ground. When did they last win a flag. Not unless you get the 17 games there a year like Collingwood did in 2010.

How sad was it that we will never again have a 'love in' anything like what the Cats had the other night !

PS. My original post was not really about us playing at the MCG. More an observation.

I don't think it could be more clear.

ladies and...

Have you been playing around on Bigfooty Mr Mosquito Fleet? Hilarious Princes Park thread there that has your fingerprints all over it.
