Dillon is the worst CEO in the league’s history.

He’s gotta go before he runs our favourite sport into the ground.

This decision alone is enough for his position to be made untenable. He needs to GTFO.

The AFL finals have now reached participation certificate levels of stupid
Congrats AFL house on chasing a US model so hard searching for extra cash it’s a mockery of what the game used to be.

Let's be honest, it's all about $$$

It was even spoken about on the news last night about how a wildcard for 9 & 10 will hopefully keep the fans of those teams from like 9th -> 12th engaged in the season for longer rather than thinking their team is out of it once they can't mathematically make the top 8

And then you add in that this is two extra games to be played, and if these are counted as finals it means it's the AFL that pockets the rewards rather than the home teams
 
Hutchy has been pushing Wild Card round for years, looks like he finally got his way. All about the money.

Hutchy will be now pushing for the game to go back to the 1898 to 1900 finals system, where all teams played finals. :D
Incidentally this was scrapped after 1900 season when Melbourne, who finished 6th out of the 8 teams won the finals to become premier.

I will continue to dedend OR so long as it keeps Richmond/Carlton away from opening the season. One good game and a bazillion false starts
OR has sent Richmond fans off the planet with anger that they're not longer "the opening game".

So it can't be a bad thing ;)

This is the ideal time to play GCS away. Coming off a solid preseason is a better prospect than playing them off a six day break or similar.
Disagree, GC always start seasons well, you want them after round 10.

Though now that it seems they are decent finally it might not matter much, it will be a hard game any time of the year.
 
... and the AFL still won't find a way to have a home final at KP.
And how does this serve our members if they did? Last year, Geelong had over 92,000 club members (the 5th largest in the AFL); there are probably thousands more who have AFL memberships with Geelong as their designated club. Our Stadium, as good as it is, only holds around 40,000 at capacity. The MCG can give all members a chance to attend, plus it gives us valuable game time under finals pressure on the ground where the GF is played.
