    News The AFL will introduce a 24 round home and away season in 2028

    Gather Round is the biggest load of shit, and one of the most overrated things the AFL has implemented. Everyone says they like it, but in 4 years I've never heard a serious argument as to why it exists. You and I seem to be the only voices of common sense. Please tell me there are some others...

    News The AFL will introduce a 24 round home and away season in 2028

    And in a sport where the best teams usually win, making it even more unnecessary. (Teams often win 64-65 games out of 82). You could justify the large number of games in Baseball because of the flukiness of the results, but 82 each in basketball is pure madness. No wonder the NBA's ratings are...

    I'm not against the idea of adding games. Up to a point. At some point you dilute your product to the point where you hurt it. The question is, what number of games per team represents where the black arrow is?

    Here's an idea. Everyone plays 11 home and 11 away, we don't have gather round, and if teams want to hurt themselves by selling off a home game interstate that's up to them. Radical idea, I know.

    News The AFL will introduce a 24 round home and away season in 2028

    True for baseball. It's not uncommon for the best team in MLB to only win 60% of their games. NOT true in basketball. Teams have won 70+games in the NBA a couple of times and the best team each year is normally in the mid 60's. OKC went 64-18 (78%). No baseball team ever goes 78%. The NBA is...

    Whether they are sold as home games for each team or as a package, less games equal more value individally. That can't be argued. It's simply a case of whether the increase of matches is worth more to the broadcaster even if the average ratings for each individual game is less.

    News The AFL will introduce a 24 round home and away season in 2028

    I'll explain it like this. More games are worth more.... up to a point. If there were, say a million games, with a thousand games on every day, no one would watch. If there one single game, everyone watches. More games equal more money up to a point where the curve on the graph peaks. The NFL...

    News The AFL will introduce a 24 round home and away season in 2028

    No, the NFL operate with a scarcity model, which they have openly admitted to. That gives them a point of difference with the NBA who have 82 games each, where it's common for teams to rest their entire starting 5. And no wonder, with 82 games none of the games really matter. NFL players never...

    News The AFL will introduce a 24 round home and away season in 2028

    The AFL Grand Final should be on the second Saturday in October one week after the NRL Grand Final. That way the AFL Grand Final gets a week of clear air and the Preliminary Final weekend falls with no direct competitiion on TV. One Prelim is on Friday, the other on the Saturday and the NRL...

    News The AFL will introduce a 24 round home and away season in 2028

    It's weird how we always think that more content is better and worth more to broadcasters, and the AFL falls into this trap with the prospect of now expanding to a ridiculous 24 games in 2028. In the U.S, the three major sporting leagues are the NFL, MLB and NBA. MLB broadcast deal (each team...

    Jumper clash fails

    Jesus buddy there no need to be rude. It’s nothing like cricket at all. Yes, there is the offside rule, but they still tackle each other, and more importantly they still throw interceptions. There is no excuse for such a jumper clash.
