Those bloody millennials again, ruining everything. 

While I haven't actually seen any information that the millenials are the ones who don't have the attention span for a longer game, I suspect you are correct. And it's not just AFL. Cricket has the same problem, hence the emphasis on shorter formats of the game.

    Just to be clear - I'm borderline millennial and can't stand 20-20. I would also love to see epic six hour footy games.

    Might be something resembling our praccy match V's North where quarters ran to the 23 minute mark.

    As an alternative, they could have double the break in play after each goal - say 60-70 seconds with 16 minute quarters. Should be able to get the quarters to high 20's , but the players would be getting sufficient rest between goals.

    21-24 minute quarters does seem a bit short changed.

    I didn't hear an explanation in the announcement for the reason for the 16 minute quarters. Did anyone else? 

    I'm a little bit behind with the news so this may have been said already...

    They said they are reducing quarters from 20 mins to 16 mins, so that players still have gas in the tank should we end up playing extra midweek games. 

    Which makes sense.

    But... did I not hear a couple of days ago that the AFL was also pushing for players to take a 20% pay cut this season, which obviously the players/ALFPA weren't too thrilled about?

    If so, surely it's no coincidence that 20% is exactly what they've reduced game time by?

    Player welfare is the narrative, but forcing the hand of the players/ALFPA to cough up some cash is maybe the hidden agenda?

    16 minutes is a terrible idea - everyone knows the criteria for close contact is face-to-face for 15 minutes.

    So, obviously, the quarters should be 14 minutes long, and then everyone will be safe.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
