Does anyone actually know what the deal with Etihad is? I don't think I ever seen it explained in full, I'd be interested to read, if it if it was available.

Yeah the deal is Essendon gets what ever it wants and we pay through the nose and travel to Wellington.
But maybe that will change as they get milked by the lawyers and a few lawsuits by current and former players.
Re: You have a bad stadium deal when...
Is there any talk we would get a percentage of the stadium (even a small one) once it reverts to AFL ownership? Why should Hawthorn, Collingwood etc get the benefits of the AFL owning the stadium when the tenants have the been the teams bringing the crowds every weekend for years. We've been the ones paying off that expensive new stadium. We should be the ones benefiting once it goes back to the AFL.

Re: You have a bad stadium deal when...
Demetriou didn't say so during his 3AW swipe on Friday, but the truth is that the MCG remains the least of his worries or - more accurately - Gillon McLachlan's. Demetriou admitted to Fairfax Media that he had some sympathy with the disenchantment being harboured by Adelaide and Port Adelaide with their bright new home at the Adelaide Oval.
Despite record crowds and - for Port Adelaide - an unprecedented membership high of 53,000, both clubs have been shocked at their poor financial returns from the stadium. Port Adelaide hosted the sold-out Showdown in round two and received a $35,000 cheque as its match-day profit. The Crows are still waiting for the breakdown of their first home game, again Sydney in round three.
