Opinion More Bomber games at the G make it happen

Rain = free front row seats

However rain = no Essendon

That doesn't make a lot of sense for the AFL. Why would they want us to move to the MCG now that they own Etihad - they'd want as many people going through the Etihad turnstiles as possible.

I figured both the club and the AFL might make more coin if we had bigger crowds at the G but forgot that if they allowed us to move the MCC would get a cut which ultimately means less for both us and the league...right?

With that being said, would it be fair to assume that a move to the MCG would result in greater crowd and membership numbers? And if so, would that negate any loss we'd wear from having a less lucrative contract than the one we have now?

Is it possible for us to have a stadium deal which financially is a corker (like our current one) while playing home games at the G?

MCG is still very convenient for me, just slightly less so than Etihad.

Ok.

Focus on my convenience then.

Ok.

Focus on my convenience then.

I'd prefer to just focus on my convenience thanks.

Most of the east prefer the MCG. More train lines go to Richmond/Jolimont first in actual fact (Glen Waverley, Belgrave, Lilydale, Alamein, Frankston, Cranbourne, Pakenham, Sandringham/Hurtbridge, South Morand compared to Upfield, Cragieburn, Sunbury, Werribee, Williamtown). Who cares about those country people?

Thanks mate /s

Ok.

Focus on my convenience then.

I will. And then suggest the opposite to what's convenient for you.

Seriously, I feel like the club makes noise about this more or less every year now. Until we actually see a change and we get an extra MCG game, I'm not getting excited.

No. More games at Etihad.

 

[Vindicater]

More games at the G is always a good thing

It's certainly not a big deal, but for 2018 I (and likely a few thousand others) have already paid for a '7 home games at Etihad' membership through my MCC renewal. If they plan on moving one of our home games to the G it will be interesting to see what they do about that, if anything at all
