Only in the AFL.
Manufacture unrealised hype over Opening Round, then start fixturing teams to have a bye 2 rounds in.
Game is gone.

Coaches don't like it, players don't like it, supporters don't like it.....................it's here to stay.

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

Then we get a pre-finals bye...

Hawks easy favourites but we are in a much better position this year to handle this.
