Carlton Supporters Club

I share the same bias, but I reckon you're right...

You're the professional wrong man. Talk so much crap. I'm close to the point I just pass over what you have to say as I get sick of shaking my head at your posts.

Casboult's proved his worth here. You're just too weak to admit you're wrong. Club thinks he goes ok, you're ego doesn't.

Here, where a capacity is 34,000, you can only fit one side in hence you move the game to a bigger ground. There was a reason why we never played Essendon and Collingwood at Prices park in the end. Cats get 7 home games, that's good enough. Not as if Carlton can play at PP. Collingwood at Victoria Park, Essendon at Windy Hill, so Geelong did get a big advantage by keeping their ground as it is.  Don't care what happens on grounds overseas when you have to travel miles to a ground as an away side. I'm talking what happens here with 10 sides in the one state where supporters can go every week.

Actually.. you are wrong.. It is bad luck for the opposition, as shown by the fact Cats are getting the games they ask for, including Richmond last year.
But nice try

So categorically it should be their supporters (that are mainly in Geelong and the Western District) that should have to travel to appease opposition fans?

There is absolutely no reason at all Geelong cannot choose to play their home game at their home ground..
Oh last year we played them at Docklands in front of a massive 35,000 crowd. Geelong is going to make a LOT more money in front of 34,000 at Kardinia Park.

Our crowd numbers had us 6th overall on average. 5th of Victorian clubs and only an average of 330 more than Hawthorn.
Our average numbers per game were 39710. Despite the 5 blockbuster games with the biggest drawing crowds of Richmond, Essendon &
We are not a a big draw card anymore and if you go back to 2011 when we were averaging 50,000+ a game sure..
I can't see a Victorian game Carlton sold out in 2017.

And despite all of that Geelong is a Geelong club, not a Melbourne club and can play all their home games in Geelong if they so choose.
Once again why should it be on their supporters from their home town to have to travel up to Melbourne to suit Carlton that seems like nonsense to me.

IF we were in their boots, we would demand the right to play our home games against who we saw fit to maximise our profits.
There is absolutely zero reason why Geelong should be forced to only play interstate clubs at their home ground, none at all.

We were robbed of our home stadium by hippy greenies in Parkville, plain and simple.

Min1, it's the surreptitious, sly , incremental shift back to boutique stadia that ticks me off.

Cats, Bulldogs and Hawks and Cheats FC (I believe) have, or are lobbying for, public funds to fund boutique stadia.... something that the CFC foresaw 25 years ago and funded itself.  This was then used by the then AFL to bankrupt the club and make us malleable to the whims of those in charge...

The boutique stadium that is required is already extant, funny that it gets used for the AFLW etc and ignored due to "parking" issues etc.... 30 000 AFLW sel-lout was lauded if IIRC, yet the ground is regarded as not up to snuff for men's AFL games!

Philly, 6 and 1 and still not getting any credit from anyone, typical they are never rated. Might change when Carlos gets the MVP......

If we play them in Geelong it will be because we are no longer a big enough draw to demand the game gets played in Melbourne, much like what happened with the draw this year with their game with Richmond.

Geelong are a Geelong club, not a Melbourne club and unlike us and other Melbourne clubs they made the decision to invest heavily in the redevelopment of their stadium, with assistance particularly from the council. They were down the path of only playing interstate teams this way. They created this situation and generally now have the right to demand their games down this way.

We could have taken this path, but we chose to leave our home ground.

We might well end up playing Hawthorn or North in Tasmania as well if we can't draw crowds here anymore.

The solution? Start winning games and drawing big crowds again.
