Good morning.
Let's run the exercise this morning and try not to start with no.
The AFL season will change in 2026 with the introduction of the 19th team.
2028 with the introduction of the 19th team.
Rather than fear that change, let's embrace it and let's help shape it.
Let's use a bit of imagination rather than the natural flinch to conservatism.
I would say across our nine years together, I've had a minimum 500 blueprints emailed in for revised fixtures and structures to the season, the most recent of which came last night from Andrew.
We're trying to be Ken McIntyre here and choose the best system for the future of the AFL.
Four concepts were open for debate yesterday at the CEO's conference, and they're being relayed to you, the football public.
Option one is the least inspiring.
22 games across 24 weeks with four double ups.
The competition would be fine, but it would be an opportunity lost.
Remember the heritage of the 22-game season?
12 teams would play all opposition home and away.
It was perfect.
It was the perfect balance for a suburban competition.
Now 22 games makes zero sense for a 19-team national comp.
Option two puts some thought into equity in a fundamentally unequitable fixture.
24 regular season games across 28 weeks with a five-week final series.
Six double-up games with a mechanism to determine who those opponents are rather than handpicking.
