I still don't like it - mostly because it just stops the season for a week for no good reason.
Yeah I hate it for this reason too. But as far as 'is the bye a disadvantage', no way, Adelaide looked so fresh in their game.

Or maybe this year is an outlier.'Bye disadvantage' now confirmed as fake news.
The two sides that won qualifying finals in week one are through to the grannie. Business as usual. It'll stay.
Can never be an outlier now, both Richmond and Adelaide proved it can be done.Or maybe this year is an outlier.

I just think the AFL needs to have something on during the bye - perhaps they could hold the Brownlow Medal on the eve of the finals (say the Saturday night) instead of on the Monday of the eve of the GF. I'm sure it would be less of a distraction at the end of the home & away than pre GF to the winner, if playing in the GF, eg Martin should he win it?The bye is fine.
That doesn't make sense.Can never be an outlier now, both Richmond and Adelaide proved it can be done.
Doesn't it?That doesn't make sense.
Yeah, that's more accurate.Doesn't it?
Try this, it can't ever be said that it can't be done.
But what can be said now if they lose is, they didn't prepare properly.
