No different to any other change they've made recently. No justification, just a harebrained idea.The AFL are sneaking their changes in while the corona virus is distracting the public.
16.5 mins per quarter is a joke, there is no justification for shortening the quarters.
Might just cancel my foxtel subscription.
Because humans are no longer capable of being amused and entertained for any more than about five minutes without needing to switch online for other amusing distractions. Two hour match with a couple of rest intervals is just waaaayyyy to long, condense the game to a few minutes of blitzkrieg n do away with all the boring stuff and everybody will be hyper.I understand shortening the season, but not the rationale behind shortening the game itself. People around the game keep saying this will happen, it’s inevitable apparently, but no one can explain why.
But that was AFLX and much to Gil’s disappointment, no one liked that.Because humans are no longer capable of being amused and entertained for any more than about five minutes without needing to switch online for other amusing distractions.

Will cost us percentage against the blues16 minute quarters plus time on.
Why? What does the qtr length have to do with anything?
Also, the length of the season should only have been changed as a contingency if it ended up being suspended for a period during the year.
Not sure what either makes a difference with the current situation.
What a joke.
The *smile* wanted shorter quarters and a shorter seasonIsn’t this what Clangerfield and other players were pushing for all up 20 minute quarters ?
Theyre just far too precious for 20minutes + time on.
It’s just the AFL trying to stop us winning anymore
Chris Scott would have loved 2 halves in the Prelim last year.They make the game to halves next.
You'll be pissed though if you get away games against all the interstate clubs and Geelong, every year! Percentage will be super important.I have no problem with the 17 games it means everyone gets to play everyone once, rather than some clubs getting Gold Coast twice etc
Pretty sure that the thinking of reducing game time is to lessen the impact and fatigue on players so that they can potentially play more than 1 game a week. The AFL have in mind if need be playing 3 games within the space of 2 weeks I believe was reported.
