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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
