New AFL grand final date, crammed fixture revealed – The Age
Fixtures boss Travis Auld revealed that in periods where the fixture is compressed, games are likely to be played on every night of the week.
With the AFL having already released the fixture up to round eight, the plan is for the remaining nine rounds to be completed inside six weeks, with each team to receive a bye.
Auld also revealed that in periods where the fixture is compressed, games are likely to be played on every night of the week in the hope of ending the home-and-away season with the traditional Thursday-Sunday fixtures.
