Geelong recorded the highest amount of late changes in the 2021 H&A season, the Cats recorded a total of 10 for the year.
Prior to Round 10 teams were able to announce teams the night before games, this was introduced in 2020 to allow for flexibility in team selection due to Covid 19.
At the start of the 2021 season the AFL had not reverted back to the popular Thursday night team selection, due to an overwhelming response the AFL eventually relented allowing for a return of the popular time slot for teams to be announced.
