On likely taking wildcard weekend break to market, AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said to Seven Information it was actually an option.

"Whether it's Perth ... Adelaide's had sufficient, (perhaps) New South Wales or even Queensland. This is on the table. I'm certainly not stating it's heading to take place, but it is actually most definitely on the table." McFarlane's Adviser Sunshine colleague Jay Clark took note that such a growth could possibly motivate the West Australian clubs to receive involved. "If that's the case, get ready for the WA teams to climb up that step ladder and attempt and acquire that activity," he claimed. "They've been actually referring to different travel allotments and also various factors to aid things, so they have not got Gather Sphere-- maybe they could obtain the wildcard weekend break."
