New to Kayo?, Herald Sun journalist Sam Landsberger revealed some of the “pushes” currently being made by clubs in relation to “celebrating” the game in a more expansive way. “There is a strong push tonight from some clubs and some playing groups that have submitted feedback to the AFL, that we need to find a way — like English soccer, where they have multiple trophies, like the US sports, where they have conference winners, or they celebrate winning seasons for coaches — we need to find a way to celebrate more players and more clubs in the game.
