The Fixture is all about Maximising The TV Audience. That is why they will not go to 17 Rounds. 
the Broadcasters have paid $ Billions, they want to pull that money back and make a profit. 

Playing 24 games will actually increase revenue for all but more importantly will bring more fairer system... play each other once & if your in the 8 you play them either home or away again..so no free ride to the eight... understand that the fixture want be known until round 17 is complete but we have now is hopeless

    Not the worst suggestion I've heard, but I reckon the AFL would face a lot of opposition from other sports (esp. cricket) if they attempted to extend the season by another two weeks.

    Drop the bye & week off before the finals...

    I doubt the players would want an extra 2 games. I can see where you are coming from, but 22 plus Finals is what we have, and i would be very suprised if that number changed. But then we are talking the AFL

    I agree that we could dispense with the week off before the finals.

    However, I can't see the players agreeing to what would be a 25-week home and away series without at least one bye.

    The AFL have normalised a compromised draw.

    The power clubs would not give up the advantages by any means.

    We should just have a rolling draw of home and away matches. The season to be 20-22 games and Friday night games nominated 6 weeks out.

    Won't happen but we all know something like this is the fairest system.

    Play 17 rounds so each team vs once then.....

    Top 8 sides vs each other

    Bottom 8 sides vs each other 

    This way teams would play both home/away

    This will stop teams with an easier draw playing finals.

    Only an extra 2 games

    You'll get weaker teams making finals if the 9th and 10th sides play the bottom teams double up and 7th and 8th play the top.

    Plus there's 18 teams, not 16.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
