Pre season should be December to February imo.. main season should be stretched out to November with more byes/breaks sometimes stretching out two weeks like in soccer with international matches.

Have you got enough money to build and more importantly maintain grounds only/primarily  for AFL use ?

Considering those six rounds will give broadcasters more content and more negotiation power to broker a deal at a much higher rate in next TV deal. Where funding goes to where it is required most - a nationalised state league and premier division in each state for development. We are seeing 19-25 year olds in state leagues far exceeding pick 30s in recent years but don't have the platform to showcase their wares due to poor competition structure.

The AFL season starts when it does because there are no grounds to play on earlier than that.
Pre-season games are played out bush half the time just to find a ground.
