One Dees dude on another board:

Toddle off to Bunnings, purchase a hammer, nails and timber and build a bridge and get over it.

All your pi5sing in the wind ain't going to change it.

True but you can't possibly be ok with it?

There will be a certain percentage of folk who think Melbourne were hard done by having to go to Perth for a prelim final.

Wow. The least publicised static in AFL.
Media fail.

There seems to be some Victorian based Swans fans who suffer from a conflict of loyalties between their state, the MCG and their footy team. Can't bring themselves to criticise the sacred ground. I like living here but for as a supporter of a non vic team, the insular footy culture is blatant and annoying.

It hasn't been a good final series. Hopefully the grand final is exciting. About time that a non swans grand final was close! (Apart from '09 & '10 drawn GF).

It's just a fact, nothing that I or others say is going to change that.

It's no longer a game, it's a business in the entertainment industry competing for a share of the advertising dollar.

The game was lost when clubs were forced out of their home grounds.

Not this Victorian.....and I think most Vic Swans would love to see the GF go to the interstate venue when the i/state team finishes higher on the ladder. Do you actually take the 'conjecture' and 'theories' of a West Sydney resident (Barry) regarding Victorians as fact?

[barry]

I dont live in West Sydney, and why would it make any difference. Typical Victorian attitude.

Can make my own mind up and mentioned "some", not all.

I'm a Melbourne Swans fan and believe the Grand Final belongs at the MCG. It's a Wembley (or Twickenham) type of entitlement earned through history and suitability to the occasion.

POf course, this doesn't mean that I don't recognise a serious Vic-centricity to the league.
