How exactly does 2 extra games make such an extreme difference to servicing the game fans?
And don’t use the argument that it dilutes making the finals because that old chestnut has been getting wheeled out since they brought out a top 5 in the 70’s.

I don’t see the big deal. It’s 2 extra games of football and avoids moving to a top 10 once there’s a 19th and possibly a 20th team in the competition.
I cannot understand how this is “ruining the game”.

Because it’s just another example of AFL house making decisions for their own/broadcasting benefit which the majority of the fans who they supposedly are trying to service are against it.

They also announced yesterday that they will keep the ridiculous bye rounds stretching 4-5 weeks.

Drug cheats can break the 21 year record by finishing tenth.

Unbelievable.

Gunna say it again on the topic of the thread. Campbell screams at us as a running player whose attributes scream wing or running hb.

His attributes are what nearly all our running players lack. Some have one attribute for the role but Seth has most of them.

Geez if we refuse to find out with players like Campbell we really have a lot of drafting to do to find decent running players.

OOps wrong thread.

Yes wrong thread but you've finally sold me on a wing trial

I have also thought wing for a while and would add he carries the ball and kicks quite well which would assist our inside 50 entries which were awful with K Mac Hugo R-S on the wings

Did this happen today or is this something that's happened when he's been doing extras during the off season?

He was in the training pics on November 7th so I am thinking that it’s just happened
