"Quarters have been cut from the traditional 20 minutes plus time on to 16 minutes plus time on this season, in an effort to ensure the AFL can get a full season in during the coronavirus pandemic. This in effect changes the average AFL match length from 120 minutes to 100 minutes."
But then they tell us the average quarter length since the start of round 2 is 27 minutes....
Remember that there is now a two minute break after a goal to give the TV networks more time for adds. Sixteen minutes plus five goals equals 26 minutes.
