If they're going to have more 6 team bye rounds they really need to be quite generous, or it might even turn people off a little.

I wasn't, I was hoping for 2 weeks of byes.http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/142844/default.aspx
ripped off.
AFL sticking with essentially the same draw format as this year - just the one bye for each team, over 3 weeks.
i was looking forward to the mayhem of 6 weeks of byes
Haha yeah it was either the good old split round so no teams missing or the 6 MBRs for me. Mayhem!http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/142844/default.aspx

Don't get why they don't just give every club one weekend off for a mid season break and that's it. Equal time off.

The broadcasters and their advertising dollars. If they put on two sets of four/five non-overlapping games, that optimizes the advertising that can be shown. However they could do that in a normal split round. I don't get why they need three rounds of 2/3rds a normal round.

Heres another thought. No byes or split round at all! Byes are usually for odd numbered leagues.
Given the players themselves were requesting the bye as well as the additional bye, I can't really begrudge them for a week or two off midseason. I just think the AFL could handle the fixturing of it better (in favour of one or two split rounds personally).
Anyone NOT named -
Travis Cloke
Jacob Surjan
Matthew Jaensch
Sam Reid
**** Ross Lyon players all together
Still a bit of a beanpole despite working out at the club, his JS could be quite dodgy, especially with Hurls, Crammers and Gumby.Joe Daniher anyone?
I think the players need to toughen up. They play 22 matches that are divided into 4 quarters. It really should be up to the clubs to work around the rules for conditioning and not the AFL give rest weeks. Either way a split round could make everyone happy.
My 2013 blacklist -
Malceski (past it)
Broughton (spud coach)
Barlow (just can't get the big 100's)
Goodes (doesn't get big scores now due to being stuck at full forward all the time)
Dempsey (up and down like a yo yo)
Mumford (too injury prone)
McIntosh (ditto)
Pretty much a quarter of my supercoach team I wont be touching next year. FMscL!
