Its no wonder they are pushing the home final agenda.
Would opposition supporters get a look in if they got it.

Not a Vic team no.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

It is a source of great annoyance for me that their pissy little regional toy ground has been propped up to the tune of $300m by the taxpayer, and for the benefit almost 100% of the Geelong footy club and nobody else (1-2 crappy Big Bash games aside). And we have all footed the bill simply because Corangamite happens to be one of the most marginal electorates in ths country - the ground should be re-named Pork Barrell Park.
What amuses me greatly is how these pricks incessantly whine and bleat aboug playing finals at the MCG, which is their other home ground anyway (when it suits them financially of course). This issue is well and truly in their heads - I hope they cop Richmond in their first final and get smashed.

Geelong certainly brought their fair share of the crowd - for a night game (which generally aren't the best for cats fans, certainly not those actually from Geelong).

Naughton with the consistency of a 25 year old will be a seriously scary prospect.
He owned the F50 last night, was prowling for a space to jump into. He also wins one on ones and his recovery from the contest led him to win a ground ball and dribble it through on the left. Could he become our best player? As good as the Bont is, it might be possible.
Bailey Smith, at age 18, is seriously tough in the contest too. Saw him stand up under hard tackles and keep his feet. Unbelievable for a kid off half a pre-season.

Yep, you nailed it. And Taxpayer Funded Stadium has exorbitant seat prices, plus a fortress atmosphere where they get far more than their fair share of frees. No wonder Ablett and Selwood were incredulous that they actually got pinged for holding the ball.
Here’s to another straight sets exit, accompanied by Chris Scott theatrics in the box.

A mate who sits in aisle 17 level 1 with me normally, was up in level 2 last night. He came down at half time and said there were a lot of dogs supporters up there getting stuck into our players. It came as a bit of a surprise as you don't get that loud negative reaction where we normally sit. ???

Level 1 Aisle 33 where I sit great atmosphere. The Bulldogs chant very frequent here. Always chant after we kick a goal.

The only negative i'll say about aisle 17 is that they're a bit quiet when things aren't going too well. I find myself impulsively starting the chant just because i can't stand listening to the opposition supporters 'going off' in the aisle beside us.

We've been in our current level 2 seats since 2001. The last 2 seasons, some of the people around us have really started grating on me with the negativity and player bagging week in week out. The seating location is great, but we contacted the club last week asking to be moved next year if there is an opportunity in an equally good bay.
Plenty in our bay booing Dahlhaus last night. People leave their brains at the front gate, i'm sure of it,
