Coincidental that Vlad has been talking all year about an extra bye next year?
Every club gets a bye next year in the fixture where they would have played Essendon?
As for the TV rights deal: if EFC get booted out, the networks will be missing out on 22 games. Solution? (I believe this is the same as the AFL's) extend the season by 3 weeks. TV networks now get the number of games they would have, PLUS an extra two.
and with the demise of the nab cup....extra 3 rounds it was on the cards
