Home Games at Etihad: Our bugbear
Western Bulldogs say Cairns game reaps more money than all their home games at Etihad Stadium
WESTERN Bulldogs president Peter Gordon says the Dogs will investigate continuing to play a game a season in Cairns now its most recent deal has expired.
The Dogs plan to play at least one, if not two, games at Ballarat’s redeveloped Eureka Stadium next year.
The Bulldogs accounted for Gold Coast on Saturday at Cazaly’s Stadium and Gordon said the door was open to continue the FNQ push in light of ongoing issues at home ground Etihad Stadium.
More below.

But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Home Games at Etihad: Our bugbear
We need to get a better deal at Etihad.
Is it true though that with our crowds being over 25K at Etihad this year that we benefit or not?

If all that is true then no wonder Ballarat is so important to us.

Re: Home Games at Etihad: Our bugbear
Lets say hypothetically we agreed on playing a few home games at the G still have Etihad as our main home ground. Would that make a difference? Would we lose if say we got a crowd of 20-25K at the MCG.

Selling three home games now?
Reserved seat holders may start questioning the value of actually paying for a reserved seat as part of their membership package.

Maybe there could be replacement games for those home games that aren't played at Etihad for our members who can't get to those games.

So even getting over 25K in our home games is still not making us profit. Very disappointing.

Re: Home Games at Etihad: Our bugbear

Yes that was my thinking unless we are missing something anyway we just need to get a better deal.

Re: Home Games at Etihad: Our bugbear
This might seem crazy, but let's 'sell' all 11 home game and be truly nomadic. Then there's no shit Etihad deal, whilst theoretically being a tenant. The MCG wants to strike back at Etihad, so give them a win. Its not like we will ever get a home final at Etihad, if we didn't last year versus Adelaide, then we never will.
1 X Cairns
2 X Ballarat
8 X MCG
No to China.
