What makes 2024 so interesting is the fact a lot of clubs are vying for limited finals spots. A wildcard weekend destroys that tension instantly. The @AFL know the price of everything but the value of nothing. Also without conferences, this is just two extra elimination finals.

AFL charging ahead with a serious look at wildcard weekend. An expanded AFLW season will eventually clear up what is now the pre-finals bye weekend. Clubs giving it stronger support. Keeps teams relevant later, more big games as the AFL pushes innovation

Adelaide people offended by this should remember how they felt, when they next have an urge to bag Regional SA. If I had a dollar for every time an Adelaidedian told me Whyalla/Port Augusta/Port Pirie etc. was a 'dump' or 's***hole', I'd be a rich.
