This contract was put together in 2005 after significant criticism of the previous contract from 1992, which required that at least one final be played at the MCG during every week of the finals. This meant that in the event that interstate clubs were to host both semi-finals or both preliminary finals (the preliminary final prior to 1994), one of these matches would be moved to the MCG to meet this quota; this happened in 1993 (Preliminary Final, Adelaide v Essendon)

AFL dodged a bullet in '93 regarding the Prelim. Had we beaten Essendon in the Semi, an Adelaide v West Coast Prelim would have still gone ahead at the MCG due to the contract in place. Probably would not have been a good look for the league if that had eventuated. Not surprisingly, the AFL introduced the Final 8 and two Prelims the following year.
