What is your worst AFL nightmare?

the worst AFL nightmare would be a grand final loss after leading all game, only to concede a goal after the siren. Imagine the heartbreak of seeing victory slip away in the final seconds.

At least you’d have got to a grand final. The melts on the sack Ken threads would be hilarious

Might be because I'm a Carlton fan and we haven't sniffed a Grand Final but just making the GF wouldn't be a big consolation in that instance.

This would be up there.

The arrogance of the AFLPA president to post this, with the intention of riling people up, is staggering enough.

Using something SO Americanised like the NBA as the example is even more laughable.

It's a sport that realistically only needs 1 quarter anyway, and they play 80 games a season with a best of 7 play-off to crown a champion. It isn't comparable in any way to Australian rules football.

The nightmare here, of course, being a return to Covid era final scores because Patrick Dangerfield likes basketball. A trifecta of dogshit.

Reduce the mark / freekick time from 10 seconds to 5 seconds & goal set shots from 30 seconds to 15 seconds once the player is set behind the mark. But then again, video reviews would likely extend the quarters anyway.
 
Probably an evolution into an over-coached game that completely loses the fabric of what makes Aussie Rules great - contested play, risk taking, rewarding great skill more than punishing mistakes.

That and/or the broadcasters having their way too much so that we get time outs, longer breaks between goals, less footy, so they can up the portion of time dedicated to advertising. Or turning into BBL with even more annoying ground announcers, music during the game and god knows what other form of sensory assault they come up with.

Terrorist attack at the MCG on Grand Final day

A team plane or bus crashing resulting in a team losing more than half of its team and the majority of key players. Not sure how the fixturing would work to salvage a season.
