So they are thinking about extending the season as early as next year. I am definitely against this. How much money would we have lost last year with an extended season? You could see under 10,000 at round 26 when your team only has 4 wins on the board which means more costs to clubs. Players will demand more money for putting their bodies on the line for longer which means more money gone from clubs. Playing lists would have to increase to cover more injuries and that's more costs to clubs.
On a side note I am sick to death of the AFL trying to crush,kill and destroy every other sporting competition in Australia. Andrew, it is ok to enjoy more then one sport. I can invest time,effort and money into the MFC and also into other sporting codes. I don't fear the A league or any other. I hope they all succeed and the AFL's attitude that it is the be all and end all turns me away from the AFL (apart from MFC games)
