AFL 2026

Does this also imply what Craig Hutchisson is wanting? A wild card round...same thing as above?

There will be a wildcard round in the next few years. Just depends on whether it will be 6th-10th placed sides into a final 8 system or will they go real out there and make it 10th-12th with a final 10 in preparation for when there is 20 teams.

Its' going to happen one way or another.

AFL has too many meaningless games in the back half of the system which would be reducing TV viewership. Have more games with consequences = more tv viewers = larger tv rights. Simple math.

You're in Straya.............it's maths.

The obsessions with wild card rounds suggests we are no longer in Straya

Yep, they lost me at hello.

I'm glad I'll be clocking out at the right time in life, everything was better in the 80's and 90's, probably better before that era too.

But anyways, your Nanna probably knew the "lady" giving Chris McDermott the over hand right at the Bay, at the 10 min mark of "1988 The season that was", or maybe it was your Nanna...

AFL has too many meaningless games in the back half of the system which would be reducing TV viewership. Have more games with consequences = more tv viewers = larger tv rights. Simple math.

yes when Norwood become the 20th AFL team

We all know the AFL don't need a 20th team but you're not suggesting that there won't be a 20th team in the nearish future, are you??

Need to trim it back to 16 or have two divisions of 10 if we introduce a 20th team.

That'll be a fair flogging.

That will be the biggest bruise free footy game ever. See the NBA All Star game and raise it some.
