Etihad for a finals?

Post: # 798755Post No1_Saint »

Check the bottom of the article. It mentions if the current eight stays stagnant for the finals then the Saints vs. Doggies game is most likely to played at Etihad.

WTF?

There will only be a final at Etihad if there have to be two finals in Melbourne on a Saturday. St Kilda will play on the Sunday at the 'G.

Etihad has the right to a final under their contract.

They waived it last year.

If they want a final , they get one. It can be in any round , but if there are 3 melbourne games in round 1, it is likely that etihad will used by the afl that round, rather than the afl give etihad a semi or a prelim.

We would play 4th if it is the dogs, on the sunday at etihad. Fri night and sat at the G, and likely one interstate game in adelaide or brisbane on sat arvo or sat night.

Wrong, Etihad have in their contract the right to 1 final per year, they also have the right to waiver that IF the AFL agree to schedule more h&A games at the ground the following year (like they did last year).

If there are 3 finals in Melb in the first week this year, one of them will be at Etihad.

How long has that been in the contract because there has been only about 2 finals there in 10 years. I would doubt it very much that it is in the contract especially since they have a contract with the G about finals played there and of course there are interstate finals as well.

Its in the AFL User agreement. Collo has always agreed to waive the right in order to get more games scheduled the following year.

It makes sense to me that should there be two finals played in Melbourne on the Saturday, one would have to be at Etihad.

Didnt they get the exact amount of games they are entilted to this year and as for Collo waivering the right i would doubt that the way things are with the AFL. The only way I beleive there will be a game at Etihad this year is if they need to play 2 on Saturday in Melbourne otherwise I would think they will all be a the G. Anyway it doesnt matter as we will be a at the G on Sunday you would think. If you have a copy of the AFL user agreement just post it here so you will be proven correct.

No, they are entitled to 42 games a year and 44 if they waive the right to a final, they got 44 this year.

thats how I read it

either they get one final or two extra games the next season. So it does look like that if they want us on sunday it will be at the dome
