Only in the AFL.

Manufacture unrealised hype over Opening Round, then start fixturing teams to have a bye 2 rounds in.

Game is gone.

Counting Opening round, it's nine rounds out of twenty five that have byes.

Opening Round, rounds 2 to 4, and rounds 12 to 16.

36% of the season won't feature a full round :lol:

Then we get a pre-finals bye...
