His reason behind the suggestion is spot on and its a piont that the AFL have always deliberately raised to aid in their TV rights and advertising deals. Extra breaks, more chances for ads during live games, length of the match and so on. The only obvious risk is that it could kill the spectacle. The game may open up late, sure, but with the way the game is played today I have fears it could turn into a turd of bordem. I'm only basing this on my personal feelings, but many games could feel like you're watching the Pura Cup and the good, intense matches may lose their sting. Particularly Origin. But, its good that someone brought it up nonetheless as its been largely overlooked. Whether a drastic change like 100 minutes is the answer I don't know, but in a age where revenue is dominated by TV and ads, its an area that must be continued to be looked at and tweaked where needed.
