Mr J, if you take a look at the results of the last few years, you may get an idea of which teams have done better at which venue, but here are just a few observations:

St Kilda are BRILLIANT at Telstra Dome. 20 from 23 in the last two years, including the last 15 in a row!!! Up until this year, Essendon were also terrific there. Not so good this year, but two of their losses were to the Saints. As I said, Carlton are the only Melbourne team with a genuine 'home' ground these days, and I think they are definitely much harder to beat at Optus Oval. Don't know why they want to give that up. Melbourne are usually harder to beat at the MCG than at the Dome.

By the way, Geelong play some of their games in Melbourne and some at their real home ground Skilled Stadium in Geelong. They're certainly tougher at Geelong.
