That's really disappointing that the finals will still be played in November and the Grand Final still won't be played at proper grounds.
This Saturday will be close to 35 degrees in Melbourne for the prelim, and a normal November day is around 30 degrees in Brisbane when it's not raining. Not to mention that grounds like MCG, Adelaide Oval, the Gabba etc. can't be used for the Grand Final because of cricket, you know an actual summer sport.
If North somehow choke, AFL will have serious egg on their face knowing full well that a Gabba GF would get a full house (especially against Port) and a showdown GF would not only sell out, but be sold out in hours if even that.

Oh look, I was laughed at last year when I said the players wanted an earlier start, and a similar finish.
Look what's happening...

It should be pushed forward by a month
Friday 11th July season starts - during school holidays
25th-28 Sep - make this the final round of the season during AFLM GF weekend then follow on with four weeks of Finals with the GF last weekend of October.
AFLW and WBBL GF same weekend doesn’t work. Has anyone thought that maybe this is impacting crowds by having WBBL WNBL A League Women and AFLW clash???
Now hopefully they release the fixture by Christmas. It won’t though. Below are fixture release dates and season start dates. Nothing consistent since COVID.

Wbbl and a league women barely draw a crowd. You might add an extra 100 people to a crowd by them not clashing
