because the dome is narrower than the g, less space, thus on teh turnover v teams with fast transition we are screwed

pure and simple

the g, being the size is it allows us to play our way, our way does not work at the dome, especially when our turnover and clanger counts are high


as soon as we become more skillful and dont turnover as much, the dome will be a better hunting ground 4 us

Because it's a hole!
For some strange reason I thought last week's game was there and was the only reason I probably didn't go.  Hate the place!
REally not happy when I found out it was at the 'G lol  :wallywink
Oh well  :banghead

Perhaps you thought it was there Moi because SEN said after the 5.00pm news last Firday night "Let's cross to our host Anthony Hudson & the team at Telstra Dome for RFC -v- MFC" :wallywink

I was in the car on the way to the game and thought "struth whre am I supposed to going" :P ;D

I prefer the 'G by miles but apart from the Geelong game our record at the Dome in recent times hasn't been too bad. Our win against the Dees was our first at the 'G in about 8 games  :P.
