Whateley · Alistair Nicholson in the studio | AFL Coaches Association CEO (22.07.26) · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

I think, you know, the ability to have that out would be great.

But I think there's, you know, some more work to do on that.

Yeah, it's interesting.

One of the things we ask is length of game.

So, you know, do you think the game?

And so none of the coaches think the game should be any longer.

And we've got about just over sort of 60-40, 60% that think the game should stay the same length and then 40% that think the game should be shorter.

So this is an individual game.

Um, but what's interesting is in that 40%, there's, you know, nearly half of that group are having the game considerably shorter.

So we sort of give them options.

And what I mean by that is almost sort of 20 minutes shorter.

So I think that's just something that we'll continue to monitor with the coach group as we.

Now have wildcard round, opening round, and then now with Tasmania coming in, I think length of games and any interesting sort of conversation in the game going forward.

So I've got some stats on that.

Yeah, well, we have talked about sitting down with the senior coaches in the AFL later in the year, in the off-season, and actually just going through some of the things that are being considered.

Obviously, clubs, it's important when they're updated and CEOs are updated that they keep their footy manager and individual sort of senior coach updated.

But our views on that is, well, if we are going to continually put content in, what does that mean then for soft cap resourcing and things like that and remuneration and all those things that fall out of that?

But then also have we got the well-being and all the systems around that in good shape as well.

It's quite mixed at the moment and it's something, as I said, we'll sit down with the senior coaches in the off-season.

I think the themes that come through the strongest are how do we pay everyone once and make it as equitable as possible?
