CARLTON wants to make the MCG its primary home ground as part of a bold bid to re-establish itself as an on and off-field power.

The Herald Sun can reveal the Blues are intent on signing a deal to play up to eight games a year at the AFL mecca when their contract with Etihad Stadium expires at the end of 2014.

This will make it five co-tenants at the 'G which is too many IMO.

It'll also mean the AFL will look to other clubs to make up the shortfall of games at Etihad. It better be not us  :banghead.
