I reckon the right answer is somewhere in between, maybe 18 and time-on. Watch Brisbane's press conference after round six's match against Carlton.
But are games really that much longer? Or have the events of the last 12 months, where quarter lengths were slashed to 16 minutes in due to the condensed season in the wake of the COVID outbreak, led to our minds playing tricks on us? In the three seasons before the global pandemic, quarter lengths hovered around the same sort of mark.
They went from an average of This year, they have moved to an average of That's around 30 seconds longer than what footy fans had grown accustomed to prior to last season. But there's a simple explanation as to why.
When quarters were slashed to 16 minutes last year, the gap between a goal being kicked and the subsequent restart was pushed from 45 seconds to 60 seconds.
This year, that has been reduced to 50 seconds. Add that to quarter-time and three-quarter time breaks returning to six minutes, and half-time breaks returning to 20 minutes, and you get your additional time. Overall, that's leading to match lengths that have expanded to an average of That's more than two minutes longer than what we knew in But is two minutes of additional time on the field leading to more injuries and a noticeably longer game?
Or are we simply taking time to re-adapt from the dramatically shorter matches of last season? Throughout , reduced game time meant quarter lengths were on average more than five minutes shorter than they had been in the past Game lengths were subsequently more than 20 minutes shorter Perhaps, as Fagan suggested, the answer lies somewhere in between.

The object of the game is to outscore the opposition. A goal is scored when a player kicks the ball between the two tallest upright posts. Six points is given for a goal.
If the ball passes either side of the tall posts, it is called a behind and the team scores one point. The game commences with the umpire bouncing the ball in the centre of the pitch. The players then try to move the ball towards their goals by either handpassing, which is holding the ball in one hand and punching it with the other hand, or kicking it.
If a player kicks the ball and another player, either his teammate or the opposition catches it called a mark then that player can stop play without fear of being tackled by the opposition. When a player has the ball they are able to run with the ball but must bounce the ball on the ground a least once every ten metres.
When a team has the ball within reach of goal, usually 50 metres and closer, they then try to kick a goal. When a foul is committed a free kick is awarded to the opposition team. They are then given the ball to start the game from wherever the foul was committed. Here is a list of reasons for a free-kicks to be awarded. Footy Feed: All the news here.
