Still say the wild card sucks, but not having a final series especially without a grand final would suck more.

It disappoints me to say that the suns are having a very disappointing season after a great start .
Some of the local kids are not living up to their initial promise.
Walter can position himself, bundle out opposition players, gets his hands on the ball and then can’t hold the ball….frustrating ...

Gees the A-League has some serious problems. The Sydney derby used to be massive and always guaranteed a huge crowd.

Not now…

Yeah pretty bad. Looks like the booming NRL has sucked the life outta the other sports in 'ol Sydney ...

There are a few viable areas for inclusion:
WA as Perth could be a goer.
Canberrra.
NT
NT + Nth Qld.
Sunshine Coast, Qld.
Northern Sydney.
Perhaps another SA team.

22 teams eventually .
All sides play each other once with a rivals round for 22 games each.
Go back to 8 final teams.
Monday and ...

A western sydney AFL team was a great idea, just poorly executed from the start and the poor decisions just keep on coming.
They need to stay in western sydney and start again, playing home games in other areas tells the locals that they are not important to the team.
Canberra should be the 20th ...

I just wish they would stop with all this overseas stuff - Aussie Rules is australia's game - your average supporter could not care less if another country played it - or don't play it for that matter. And I doubly do not get, should they wish to push this fiasco, why they would take a team from ...

Quolls2019

well yep 19th and 20th Is very good added bonus

And with more games the AFL will get more money, from foxtel…channel 7…or maybe somewhere else.

that is not always the case, everything has a ceiling.
I would not of be surprised Tasmania was included in tv deal as it had a 2028 entry date ...

Quolls2019

agreed, It is very unlikely a break of contract or reduction would occur.
what would generally happen if one party is not happy.. they would Work out things.
that can benefit them and be agreed upon.
like adding more content for example..
WILD CARD & ORGIN SERIES

And a 20th team so there ...

True (if all reports are true) It will be interesting take on Talks with NRL>

Taking in comments of the other posts, even though it is extremely unlikely that:
Foxtel would seek to reduce the current deal and if they did
It would be extremely unlikely that the AFL would accept any ...

They take them seriously enough for Foxtel owners to want to slash the amount they paid for the AFL deal. :badgrin: :badgrin: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/AFL/foxtel-s-afl-deal-cost-billions-now-its-owner-wants-to-pay-less-and-it-has-form-20251125-p5nieg.html

Agree - but don;t think a big rule change will help - if people wanted to watch lower grade football - they'd watch the state leagues.

Under 18's national mens comp would rip this comp to pieces.
Agreed

A good under 15 boys team would also.

In more disappointment for Australia's bumbling fumbling stumbling code the AFLW grand final tv ratings got an almighty flogging by the NRLW version. The NRLW didn't just pip the AFLW, they didn't get twice the number of viewers, no no no, they tripled 'em!!! Yep you heard that right sports fans ...
