Tom Browne said it's due to a lack of COVID vaccine in sight - wasn't it just last week ScoMo told us to prepare for a January roll out?
Opinion Whateley - pushing shortened quarters?

Fortunately it's Tom Browne so it's probably bullshit.

Hank... torch my legend...
Yeah that was the reasoning behind it, but if vaccines are beginning to be rolled out in late Jan you'd think they could recover the cash towards the end of the season, particularly with the demand that there will be for every game
How can they continue on from what is being dished out at the moment. Pure tripe. Go back to what we had last year. There will be no hubs next year and games will be back to their normal venues.

Was always going to happen.
Never waste a crisis.
AFL and broadcasters have wanted it for a long time
Deplorable, s**t, unnecessary, ridiculous decision.

I’ve never been less interested in this boring, low scoring footy “frenzy”.
I’m in Victoria and I can still find better things to do than watch this tripe on a Wednesday night.
The AFL could not be more out of touch. I’m not even angry, just really disappointed.
bring back 20 minute quarters and weekend footy, please don’t ruin the fabric of this game for good.

Doesn’t explain the 28 games. It’s pretty clear fox footy is pushing hard for no overlapping games

Heard that absolute utensil Chris Judd in the radio last week pushing for it too. He said we’re the only sport in the world lengthening the game.
It’s not lengthening, you moron. It would just going back to the regular format.

Mid week games ala this year will be the next big push. I put my big salty balls on it.

He has the ear of Gil McLaughlin that's for certain. There's a bit of a coalition that exists between Whately, C Scott, Al Clarkson and AFL HQ.

Yeah, and I still believe it will go back to 20 eventually. Remember this thread was started because of the media push which was at odds with 95% of the supporter base. After a few games even those within the media who were pushing for it realised how horrible it was as a spectacle and realised 20 is and was the correct way to go moving forward.
If we change to a different game length we cancel the history of the longest running league in the world.
We can no longer compare a Titus or Coleman or Diesel or others.
Game record scores become frozen forever and your team can never exceed or erase them.
Statistics and scores only mean something on a level playing field.

Obviously totally different , but big bash league interest slowed right down when they started adding too many games
Absolutely not, scoring has been way too low this year.
If COVID is still around/threatening outbreaks at the start of next season I could live with that (purely for contingencies sake if hubs or condensed fixtures are required) but long term, no way.
