It gives the reasons that with two new teams joining the competition in 2011 will require the fixture to be extended .

More matches will need to be played . The number of finals series of matches will be greater .The length of the finals series will be longer .

It will seemingly be impossible for all the finals to be played throughout September . Traditionally the final series has culminated with the Grand Final being played on the last Saturday in September .

Fans and historians of the Game will be surprised if this monumental change occurs to the current AFL fixture .

Time will tell if it occurs .Fans everywhere will still come out to support their teams in their football jumper , jersey , guernsey .

Will the Grand Final still be played on the historical last saturday in september ? Will it be played on the first or second saturday in October ?
