How can it be a ten team competition and we get two byes?

Round 11 and 18

Technically three byes as the SANFL stops for Gather Round. As was pointed out there’s the AFL bye for Adelaide so there’s only one SANFL mandated bye.
I’d suggest there’s two obvious reasons, SANFL players have full time work or study and families, a bye alleviates some of that and the main one being you have to stretch an 18 (22 with finals), game season across the span of an AFL season that spans 25 weeks (30 weeks including finals and finals bye) because the AFL mandates all state league grand finals are to be played on the same Sunday a week before the AFLGF.
If the SANFL starts weeks later than the AFL, AFL clubs and supporters bitch and whine.
If the SANFL finishes earlier than the AFL, AFL clubs and supporters bitch and whine.
If the SANFL have byes (the majority not mandated by them), AFL clubs and supporters bitch and whine.

A bit of thought and application and you would’ve worked it out for yourself.
