We are not gypsy's Gerks
Not our home game
No different to playing Freo or Brisbane except we get to hijack a new market at the cost of someone else
If you want parochial football go follow the VFL. This is the top flight babe.
When a Victorian club moves home games interstate or O/S against another Victorian club then as far as I am concerned that club is fornicated in the rectum. Plans like these are usually sparked up at Nought Melbourne who stay in Melb for 30 fans and refuse $100 million to play permanently on the Gold Coast.
For them or any other club to take out travel insurance and travel costs only for the governing body to pay them a token handout for playing there is merely ludicrous. By the way I thought Hawthorn we're looking at NZ a few years ago.
Furthermore why would those Bayside Heathens want to play us away from Melbourne if, we are up and running and a bona fide finals side and they are living up to the on field sorry standards they have been since 1897 when the crowd and dollars generated will be on a par with them playing the Skunks or the Filth at Etihad.
So why would we want to beat those failures in NZ in front of a handful of expats and curious Kiwis who'll lose interest 5 mins into the first quarter and will be queuing for the bar for a couple of pints of DB Draught. Personally not having beaten them since 2003 I and most other RFC fans I would like to think would love to beat those footy inferiors where retribution in the stands will be swift splendid spectacular and oh so sweet.
To watch them lose to us live will be akin to the wonderful nauseous feeling you get when you know you have the lady friend you are chatting to right where you want her and you know where its leading.
