AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan believes the quality of the deal cancelled out prior player frustration and uncertainty over the length of time it had taken for an agreement to be reached, particularly once it became clear the next season would be brought forward."We were all committed to the right outcome for the players and for the competition.
Western Bulldogs skipper Ellie Blackburn accepts 10 games plus four finals worked for the upcoming campaign, given the tight four-month turnaround between seasons, but wanted more games in the long-term. Mr McLachlan said a 10-game regular season was "the right number" for the upcoming season as the AFL wanted to see how the competitive balance, with the league expanding, trended.
