  • Deal Done on Mcg Grand Final Contract Extension
    Wednesday, 2 September 2020 DEAL DONE ON MCG GRAND FINAL CONTRACT EXTENSION The Victorian Government has agreed to the relocation of the AFL Grand Final from the home of football – the MCG – to Brisbane for one year, with that year to be added to the MCG’s decades-long Grand Final contract. The 2020 AFL Grand Final will be played at the Gabba on Saturday, 24 October with the AFL agreeing to schedule a start time that does not clash with the 100th running of the WS Cox Plate at Moonee Valley. The coronavirus pandemic means it is impossible to plan with certainty for an event to be held with crowds in Melbourne in late October. Accepting this situation, the Victorian Government acted to ensure that football’s greatest spectacle would not be denied a crowd while delivering more guaranteed games for Victorian supporters. Confirmation of the Grand Final date also means that the Government can lock in the popular AFL Grand Final eve public holiday for Friday, 23 October – a “Thank You Day” for Victorians who have made so many sacrifices as part of the community effort to contain the spread of coronavirus. The MCG first hosted the Grand Final in 1902 and under the terms of the new agreement between the Government and the AFL confirmed last night, the match will be played at the ground until at least 2058 – a one-year extension on the existing contract. In addition, the MCG has been guaranteed an extra two contracted games in each of the 2022 and 2023 seasons, taking the minimum number of AFL games at the ground in each year to 45.

  • Queensland to Host 2020 AFL Grand Final
    View past editions of Eye on Q 4 September 2020 Queensland to host 2020 AFL Grand Final Brisbane's famous Gabba will play host to the first-ever AFL Grand Final to be held outside Victoria on 24 October 2020. Up to 30,000 fans will be allowed into the stadium under COVID-safe plans that have allowed the season to progress safely this year in Queensland. The event will provide an economic boost for Queensland, highlight the state's tourism offerings, encourage travel to the state and inspire viewers who can't make it in person to start dreaming about their next holiday when restrictions ease. The news reinforces Queensland's reputation as Australia's sporting events hub despite the challenges of COVID-19. READ MORE Regional Queensland flights fast-tracked Queensland tourism is set to receive a welcome boost with the doubling of Gold Coast Airport's flight schedule thanks to Jetstar's Cairns to Gold Coast service which resumed on Monday, while Jetstar's Adelaide to Sunshine Coast service also recommenced the same day. The Cairns to Gold Coast service resumed Tuesday with increased capacity - almost doubling the capacity of the airport from 11 services per week to 19, and is expected to pump about $7.1 million into the economy. The Adelaide to Sunshine Coast service will deliver 360 inbound seats a week via Sunshine Coast Airport next month and 540 a week after that, pumping an extra $4.7 million into the local economy. Queensland Creators Program continues Tourism and Events Queensland will continue its successful Queensland Creators program into 2021, engaging 12 talented content creators from across the state to inspire more people to travel to Queensland through the creation of inspiring and authentic content.

Feedback from clubs, players, broadcasters and fans has been supportive of the initial phase of squeezing rounds 9-12, fixtures boss Travis Ould said. Clubs and players play more often, and the audience remains very strong, with the average audience per game increasing by 14 percent. Planning for the second phase of compression allows us to play more matches again in a shorter period of time as most clubs continue to live in a hub environment. Premier League rivals Richmond and West Coast will face off in round 14. Credit: AAP Support players, clubs and broadcasters take this approach, coupled with match attendance restrictions, supports the game at unconventional time intervals that allow us to showcase our game to fans throughout the week.

  • Afl Ticket Scheme Proposal
    2020 AFL TICKET SCHEME PREAMBLE The AFL Premiership Season and Finals Series attracts over 6.8 million attendees across stadia across the country, making it the most-attended sport in Australia. The 2019 AFL Finals Series drew crowds of over 500,000 patrons across various venues across the country, including a crowd of over 100,000 for the AFL Grand Final. The AFL Grand Final is recognised as Australia’s most prestigious single sporting event, attracting thousands of visitors to Melbourne each year and driving millions of dollars benefit to the local economy. The demand for AFL Grand Final tickets always outstrips supply and tickets to this event are some of the most sought after in Australian sport. The AFL Finals Series and AFL Grand Final are both very important parts of the football season for all AFL Clubs, regardless of whether they have qualified for the AFL Finals Series or the AFL Grand Final. The AFL believes that, given all Clubs play an active role in shaping the AFL Final Series, they should be given the opportunity to participate and with this in mind the AFL makes available AFL Grand Final tickets to all of them. The AFL’s fundamental role is to act as a collective for its Clubs and, after meeting the costs of running the AFL competition, AFL makes annual distributions to our clubs and annual grants to the various state bodies for the development of grass roots football. AFL’s capacity to continue to support the clubs and grass roots football in a financial sense is inextricably linked to key revenue streams and specifically the AFL Grand Final.

  • Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust
    MELBOURNE CRICKET GROUND TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21 Terminology The Melbourne Cricket Ground Act 2009 refers to “members” being appointed to the Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust under section 7(a) or section 7(b). However, in the broader context of the MCG, the term “member” has a very clear common usage – it refers to members of the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC). To ensure that there is no confusion in this report, the term “Trustee” is used to refer to the people appointed by the Governor in Council from time to time as members of the Trust. Chairman’s Report This time last year l wrote about the uncertainty that lay ahead as our community navigated its way through the global pandemic. Whilst we’re all hopeful that we are through the worst impacts of the pandemic here in Australia, it is clear that we have not seen the end of it. As l write, we are nearing the end of the fourth period of lockdown in Melbourne. All facets of our daily life have been affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19) – in our homes, at our workplaces, at our schools and in our sporting and entertainment activities. For us all here at the MCG, we have seen this magical arena - this place famous for intensely competitive sport and for inescapable excitement but also a place where we experience moments of quiet remembrance (think ANZAC Eve and ANZAC Day pre-game ceremonies) and moments of heartfelt reflection and hopeful reconciliation (think Dreamtime atThe ‘G and the Reconciliation round) – this magical MCG has been vacant, still, silent for so much of 2020 and again for periods in 2021.
