In your plan the AFL forgoes about 75% of its total match day revenue. Do you think players would be happy to return to 1990s level wages?

How is this 'round 0' concept going to work for Fantasy footy and Supercoach players?

They'll just run round 1 over the 2 weekends. It's not that hard.

From what has been explained, it looks as though the teams playing in 'round 0' will also be playing the following weekend. Meaning every side involved in the first weekend of football will be a game ahead for a period of time.
As usual, none of this has been explained particularly well by the AFL.

Means effectively that eight teams will get two byes during the season and ten teams will get one bye. Sounds super equitable.
The split round I'm ok with in theory, but it's also a leg up for the sides that play in the first week with the concussion protocols

Pretty obvious - no NRL in the Northern states that week.
Also the MCG will still be in recovery mode from taylor swift

Rather than a round zero, can't they just fixture the other five games somewhere else in the same weekend? Just give everyone two byes somewhere.
They could still play a full round everywhere else except the MCG
2 in NSW, 2 in QLD, 2 in SA, 1 in Tas, 2 @ Etihad....

Am I missing something? The NRL are playing in Vegas on March 2, wouldn't they be playing in Sydney the week after, the week the AFL proposes to start?
Rugby League in Las Vegas | Allegiant Stadium
For the first time ever, the NRL Telstra Premiership season will kick off on American soil. Witness the 2024 season-opening double-header on Sat., March 2.
Incorrect. The Vegas NRL games are the week before ‘Round Zero’.
