Plenty happening at Etihad since Ian Collins retired in a personnel sense – several staff in recent months have either resigned or being made redundant with new CEO also hiring key staff he’s worked with before. Most recently (last week apparently) former VFL player Nick Sautner was made...

Has it been reported yet that Ian "Collo" Collins is working as a consultant on the new Perth Stadium. Good experience there to provide some consultancy given his experience with the AFL (Waverly, MCG, Optus etc.) not to mention his time at Docklands Stadium!

I was on the money!!!

Is the second year cycle about to hit Etihad again this year?? Had bad publicity in 2010, good year last year but 2012 could be trouble! Noticed the last few weeks heaps off divots and sand kick back and got plenty of coverage today when tippett almost dug a whole to china. They hosted...

Yep sorry, my bad!!

Honestly? Stanley actually annoys me particularly the new "shove it up ya butt" comment!!!

Rumor has it Coldplay are set to announce a minimum two stadium shows for November 2012 at Etihad Stadium or the MCG!!!! Big news if true!!!

Collo would be angling for this to happen sooner rather than later as it is also rumoured that his contract with Melbourne Stadiums ends in November/December this year. If AFL own early it would be highly likely he'd be retained for a period one would think however the AFL would make some...

Given Etihad has always had a genuine stigma associated with it due to the well published money gouging machine it is do you think that would change if the AFL do happen for arguments sake to own it in the next 12 months? If this happens and the AFL implement fair and reasonable deals for all...

Agree!!

Common sense mainly plus research and media pieces written previously. Why? Do you agree or disagree?

The AFL funnily enough are looking at buying back Etihad early probably due to clubland pressures and increased media/public perception and pressure. The issue the AFL will have is that the venue needs content to be sustainable so that means concerts, rugby, cricket, soccer etc. Facts...

Spot on! original address and good on him for doing geez its sparked pages of crap speculation on it anyway!

well done boys - great servants!!! love you Bakes!!

This is unacceptable imo.... if you support your club you go! grantd the afl gouge however i to run a business and you act on opportunities... finals = opportunity to inflate prices! I was in the Victory Room pre game in the social club and the place was humming and then to see those sydney...

How many won by MCG tenants for same period = 2. It's a redundant argument in all seriousness come on. By the way following a new user agreement at Etihad last year all tenants make money from etihad! Perhaps not as much as the G but we do make money. Until we start drawing crowds in...

Great win tonight. After that first half of the second qtr we were awesome. Milney early in the 3rd qtr was tops and how good was the $7.50 pie and coke special etihad did tonight!!!!!! Great night all over bring on the Bluebaggers

To not have the australian rules staple food item avaiable at the main break is a disgrace. In the end i did go with chips btw:confused:

Followed him with the binoculars today for some time and he has lost his mojo and drive and effort was ordinary at best he generally looks like hes going through the motions.

Went to the Sunday twilight as a neutral today at the MCG and was shocked that when i went to buy a couple of pies at half time and there wasn't any! How does that happen and who do i complain to?

Fremantle Vs Collingwood 19pts 34K Hawthorn Vs Western Bulldogs 2pts 48k Geelong Vs Sydney 13pts 26K St Kilda Vs North Melbourne 11pts 37K Brisbane Vs West Coast 9pts 26K Adelaide Vs Richmond 12pts 37K Melbourne Vs Gold Coast 88pts 22K Essendon Vs Port Adelaide 32pts 34K

It is a disgrace that ground! AFL never again should be there!

Carlton Vs Hawthorn 12 pts 49K Gold Coast Vs Adelaide 28 pts 13K West Coast Vs Essendon 23 pts 35K North Melbourne Vs Fremantle 28 pts 18K Collingwood Vs Brisbane 19 pts 41K Sydney Vs St Kilda 17 pts 29K Port Adelaide Vs Western Bulldogs 47 pts 13K Melbourne Vs Richmond 25 pts 36K

No club and not just ours ever pay to play at Etihad. Fact! Clubs are full of sh*t and push and agenda to increase yields and drive revenues and try and keep up with others.

Re: The Trade Thread I agree and we look elsewhere. He's not the answer!

This is crap. Sitting at Level 1 at the cup (Etihad) is much greater viewing experience than Level 1 at the saucer (MCG). There was actually atmosphere today, can you imagine how poor it would of been at the G.

It's fact make the 8 or gone!

Possibly - if Carlton, West Coast and the Bulldogs don't achieve their targets it is well known those coaches will be gone! So there's 3 add Malthouse and you've 4!

Thoughts on the pass mark for this year's AFL coaches? Collingwood - Top 4 (Mick to coach Carlton next year) St. Kilda - make the grand final Geelong - Top 4 (some grace for Scott) Western Bulldogs - make the grand final (Smorgo said or Eade gone) Sydney - Top 8 Fremantle - Top 4...
