Confirmed.


Cricket gives AFL green light to stage Easter blockbusters at MCG

The  AFL will open the 2016 season over the Easter long weekend at the MCG after all with Richmond to play host to Carlton on Thursday, March 24.

Cricket Australia on Thursday gave football the green light to fixture its now traditional MCG Easter blockbusters over the weekend of the Sheffield Shield final. CA chief James Sutherland returned to Melbourne following the Lord's Test and immediately delivered that message to AFL boss Gillon McLachlan.

The green light was given in the understanding of a pending long term agreement which would allow the AFL permanent access to the MCG each year for an extra weekend in March. The deal is yet to be reached but will involve a multimillion dollar financial settlement between the AFL and Cricket Australia.

Fairfax Media understands a tripartite agreement between the AFL, the MCC and Cricket Australia will ensure football wins long-term tenancy of the MCG for the last two weekends of March from 2016.

Funny how this game becomes very important after what the Coach and Captain are saying so far about next year...particularly Cotch about his crap game on Sunday.

So for all the smart arse comments about lines in the sand and must win games, well you know what.....it is!!!!
