AFL player manager Craig Kell has responded to Cats star Patrick Dangerfield's call to reduce the length of the AFL fixture.
The AFLPA president said on SEN's Whateley this morning that the concerning amount of injuries through the season is because there are too many games, suggesting a shorter season could help put a limit on casualties.
โPerhaps you should ring Patty (Patrick Dangerfield) up and say: โrighteo mate, weโll just take a haircut in your pay because now youโre playing less games, less TV and less coverage' and see how he responds to that," Kelly toldย SENโs Time On.
โWhen I played we played each other twice and it was easy. The best competition is when you can play each other twice and have a couple of byes.
โThe reality is, time wise and player fatigue wouldnโt allow it.
โItโs a big point at headquarters that theyโre trying to work out a way of making a competition fair based on the fixture and itโs very hard with the number of teams that weโve got.โ
