‘Tosh! Baloney!’: Gerard Whateley tees off at AFL’s pre-finals bye – Fox Sports
AFL 360 co-host Gerard Whateley has taken aim at the pre-finals bye, labelling it “an unnecessary irritant” and calling for it to be scrapped moving forward.
The bye was introduced in 2016 with the intent to enhance the quality of finals matches through giving players more chance to recover ahead of the showcase matches, while it dissuaded teams from resting an inordinate number of key players in the final round.
Speaking on SEN, Whateley urged the league to make this year the last for the controversial fixture decision.
