Afl should've invested in wanderers - would've cost them a fraction of what gws does, no need to doctor participation numbers & their memberships actually turns a profit

How do you have the same number of games with an extra club? Also the players are demanding a 2nd bye during the season, which this would give them.

Why in the world would we want to field a team in the neafl ? it’s no better standard then our own state league that’s why we are going to the vfl I can understand trying our own full team in the aflw though instead of the ripoff alignment we currently have with north

Yeah I couldn’t work that out either an extra team equals extra games pretty simple lol
You have a bye every week. I doubt the AFL changes the length of the season. Same number of weeks and same number of games per week = same number if games. It just means teams play fewer clubs twice.
They could drop the bye rounds given there are regular byes, this would give them an extra round.

No. 1 extra team means a bye every week, so it's still a 9game round. If the season stays the same length, this means the same number of games.

I think you’re getting your self a bit confused mate everyone needs to play each other at least once in a season so 19 teams instead of 18 has to equal extra games does it not basic maths

Can someone post the roster from the year the suns came in there had to have been extra games?
If the season stays exactly the same but you add an extra team then every team is playing less games per year (plus one new team).
However the AFL is never going to reduce the amount of games, so when you add a new team you're going to get more games, perhaps the season might go slightly longer or you could play a full 9 games during the three bye rounds

Lol you always bring up the cost, that and your Wanderers fear as the new 350million dollar stadium is shown not to be the saviour of that mob.
Don’t tell me that if the A-League clubs had the money they wouldnt be spending the same.
Yet they don’t as they know there’s no upside.

Everyone just ends up having two byes for the season and play 22 games. This means you need a 24 round season. It also means you have to have more then one side having a bye some weeks.
There's a massive difference between talking about the potential of the GWS and the potential of Australian soccer.
The credibility of the potential of the Giants is based on:
-a guaranteed commitment to its longevity
-a large population area
-a large and ongoing investment in promoting and growing the game to that population including with several stars who will play their career there
-a demonstrated evidence of success in the Swans and the Lions when the first three are satisfied
Australian soccer has no demonstrated evidence of sustained popularity. Zilch. It's "potential" is rooted in an enduring delusion that there is some latent interest in it just waiting for "good management" to align the ducks.
Pointing to a short period in the naughties where it got some good attendances for what then were one team towns in Melbourne and Sydney is precisely not an example of its potential. The opposite in fact
The season has the same number of games. Clubs have less games.
It's fairer an better if you arrange that by scheduling or a split round.
Nobody wants a bye every week.
For the same reason
You have to think a little - not much, just a little. Oh, and you actually have to read a little as well.
I actually gave the answer in my suggestion.
No confusion, just another lame trolling attempt on you part.
Nineteen teams means one less play twice situation. The number of play twice events is only due to scheduling.
That's basic knowledge.
It's a simple case of scheduling. You could schedule a special fixture or have a split round to lengthen any season as required.

Interesting.
When Tasmania almost certainly joins c. 2025, the AFL will be a 19 team comp. Every team will still play 22 H & A games- but the season will increase from 198 H & A games to 209 H & A games.
Are you saying, with 19 teams, there will be 24 Rounds of actual football being played on each of those 24 rounds?
If so, this is extending the "actual playing" weeks of the AFL by 2weeks- & this must have an extra value for the AFL (increased ratings & Rights $, advertising, crowds, DS Medallion Club/tickets/ beverage/food/signage/UG parking etc $; & more MSM & general public interest in the AFL, for a longer period).
If the AFL season is extended by 2 weeks, then private sponsorship $ will also rise.
Adding 1 extra team in the AFL could be worth much more than $20m pa (in direct & indirect $), re D. Matthews, Le Grand & Durkin's extra $54m - $60m per annum for the AFL, for the 9th game comments' above (post #2043).
It has long been noted in the MSM that the AFL wants to dominate the "news cycle", for as long as possible (with the Draft, post-season player movement period, AFLW, AFL pre-season training etc).
Can you explain further your comment "It also means you have to have more than one side having a bye some weeks".

The season already has 23 rounds but when you have an uneven 19 teams and still want 22 games you have to push it out another week to 24 rounds as it’s the only way possible for everyone to have the same amount of byes. It is only one extra week but every week is a bonus.

If the AFL introduces a Final 9, the season will have more interest, for more fans, for longer- because of "eternal hopes" one's team can scrape into 9th position, so be eligible for Finals. (Ratings & crowds, general MSM AFL interest etc. would all be increased: equates to more $ for the AFL, & AFL "contender" teams).
Would a Final 9 produce 1 extra Final, or 2?
And would the Finals still be completed over 4 weeks?
Ditto, for a Final 10?

BBT, there are trade-offs with increasing team numbers in the finals and interest levels. As a reductio ad absurdum, if you had all 18 teams in the finals you would render the regular season irrelevant.
In terms of how many finals would be requires, it would depend on the finals structure.
One option would be to just play 8th versus 9th as a "wild card" game ahead of the current finals system which would mean 5 rounds
....I'm sure there would be a stack of ways you could structure it...though most would probably need at least 5 rounds

Answer.
So now we have random comments out of the way is there a reason you quoted that post directed at the Wanderboy?
