Question

When will a Melbourne based team win the Grand Final, or at least make it there again?

Answer 1

When they get better?  Who cares anyway.

Answer 2

Two possibilities:

1) When there are fair fixtures that don't give short term benefit to the Victorian teams and Sydney (eg. Collingwood and Sydney playing only 2 of the other top 8 teams twice this season vs. Port having to play 6 of them twice, Adelaide having to play 5 of them twice, Freo and the Eagles having to play 4 of them twice and having to play Sydney in Sydney 2 out of every 3 times historically). In the long run, practise makes perfect.

2) When the VFL... I mean AFL, gives even more concessions to the Victorian teams.

Answer 3

Never my friend. Never. hahahahaha!

I'm in Sydney and I always go for any non Victorian team... Doesn't have to be Sydney as long as it isn't a Victorian team.

Answer 4

Don't think that's going to happen for a while.....most Melbourne based team are lets say not that good compares to the like of FREO, budgies (oh i mean eagles) Sydney and the crows..........  I am sorry to say that finals footy will not see Melbourne teams in for a long long time...so Victorians should just get used to that fact..

GO THE DOCKERS.........

Answer 5

Cant see it happening for a while the home ground advantage mainly in WA & SA partically in finals is way to strong and the extra concessions the S h i t n e y Swans get makes it even harder

Answer 6

Football is no longer a game but a business and a Melbourne based team won't win a grand final until the marketing fat cats deem it financially viable.  GO PIES!!
