@AGissara Only thing he provides is his obvious hate for Carlton

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@kenfromdeerpark @Candour100 Because a main reason Geel have been able to stay at GMHBA is the fact that it has the backing & funding of the state Gov. Which makes it a viable ground in the AFL. Melb based clubs didn't have that option.
Hence, had to move to marvel or MCG.
Unlike Geel who kept home ground.

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@kenfromdeerpark @Candour100 Needed to simplify it for you!! 😉
You can add all your arguments you like but at the end of the day, Geelong has an advantage over both interstate teams and Melbourne based teams.
Be thankful and enjoy!!

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@kenfromdeerpark @Candour100 Geelong did fold to a certain extent. The AFL requires Geelong to play 3 or 4 home games in Melbourne. So saying that you have the advantages that you have because you didn't fold is incorrect.
The original point was that Geelong has greater advantages, they do, regardless.

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@kenfromdeerpark @Candour100 Let me clarify for you, you're clearly not understanding, it's not about folding, the AFL forced the hand of melb based clubs that were still playing at local grounds. Geelong didn't have to "fold" because the AFL weren't forcing them to move.

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@kenfromdeerpark @Candour100 Colonial stadium was built because the league wanted / needed a 2nd main stadium. Gov wasn't putting $ into local grounds to make them AFL standard, instead the AFL incentivised the move for Melbourne clubs to become tenants of Colonial stadium and the MCG.

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@kenfromdeerpark @Candour100 Because you get the Government backing and funding for your stadium. Don't see the Vic Gov doing the same for the Melbourne based clubs to keep their stadiums as home grounds.

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@AGissara Haha I had to watch it again to see who kicked it inside 50, coz I was sure it wasn't Murphy Reid but the way the commentators were wanking on, you'd think he did kick it 🤦

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@RalphyHeraldSun Connor O'Sullivan
21 yrs old
40 games

Harry Dean
18 yrs old
11 games

No need for the comment that you wouldn't swap O'Sullivan for Dean.
Time will tell.
But how about just let them both be great young defenders without making a comparison.

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@CarltonFCBlues AFL let Geelong run by a different set of rules. We know this!!

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@superfooty I hope the club @CarltonFC cancel their memberships, at the very least!

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@DidCarltonWin I reckon Acres has earnt a call up

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@NicNegrepontis Probably explains why Lord was dropped and Saad came in!

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@kouta_tfc22 Just said exactly that!!

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@Blueirons @CarltonReserves Agree!!! People calling for the likes of Wilson & F Young to get a game, I can see why they don't!! Regardless of how we do tonight, the only players I'd consider would be Hewett and Walker (😂)

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@The_PrenderCast @gardinerstand I'd almost prefer to see the likes of Byrne, Ison, Moir, really become players in the VFL than play AFL and just lose confidence 🤷

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@The_PrenderCast @gardinerstand Absolutely! First quarter was great. Fought back and held on when Saints kept coming. When we were struggling, it was those 'almost' players that butchered it and turned it over. They need to improve that before getting AFL games. We've got upside though!!

[Nat Burke @nattas18]

@AGissara Was thinking exactly that on the drive over to Adelaide last week 🤦
