There's another one about the Perth Bears, Hutchie, which you've also referenced on the main body.

Let's get to Pat on email.

The NBA released its new draft lottery slash anti-tanking rules today.

One interesting change is having the team logos on the lottery bulls.

The lottery itself can now be televised live.

Would the AFL consider something similar?

An AFL draft lottery could draw a huge live audience and generate vast amounts of content, less tanking and more games that matter is nice too.

Yep.

Paul on Facebook, where would the NFL game rank in the biggest single game events ever held in Australia?

Yeah, it's a good question, isn't it?

And it's obviously without notice and one that probably does require a bit of thought.

Okay.

I'll look forward to that.

And we'll wrap up question time on the standing board today with this one from Oliver.

How would Hutchie fix the fixture?

At the moment, opening round is an issue, overlapping games and too many buys.

They're going to fix up, or at least they're making noises, Oliver, to fix up opening round as to not have one, just to have an old-fashioned round one where all teams play.

And I think that the second batch of buys, Hutchie, that we're already experiencing in this season, it's, again, just taking a little bit of anticipation out of the rounds upcoming.

But they had a good patch there, a really good patch when all teams

18 teams were playing for about six weeks in a row there.
