'“For many years, the October long weekend was a really successful tradition for the SANFL Grand Final so both the League and Clubs agreed this was the most favourable date to conclude what has been another unprecedented season due to the Covid pandemic,” Mr Chandler said.'

Since the SANFL believes having the GF on the long weekend is so successful, they could consider leaving it there.

That split round is also when the AFL won't have any matches.

Edit: the second week of that round, for clarity

It worked well with a 21-game season, but with an 18-game season the season would have to be started very late April or have lots of byes/split-rounds to drag it out to late October.

21 game season with 8 teams would work.

There is only one reason why the number of games has to be a multiple of 9.

21 is a multiple of 7, and 7 is what you get when you take 2 out of 9. The fix is obvious.

Yep, 8 teams works perfectly (although there would be 1 less week of finals).

With 8 teams you could still have a 4-week finals series à la 2003, and pre-1973.

Semi finals in consecutive weeks.

Or take a leaf out of the AFL's book (!) and have pre finals bye week, followed by double header semi finals.

Or just stick with the final five.

Yep. The problem with a top 4 is that there is no advantage between finishing 1st over finishing 2nd.

I don't mind that so much, as it's like 4th & 5th now have no advantage (and 2nd & 3rd). But to me, finishing top should be a bit more special.

Heard it may include SANFL as well.If it is capped at 1000 does that mean only that many can attend the Crows & Power reserves showdown as they are part of the SANFL if its good for them to have more then the real teams should be allowed more as well.
