Not a fan of the proposed 17-5 draw. It's too much of a "fixed-ture" for me.
I would much prefer to have the teams seeded based on the previous years ladder positions.

Each team plays every other team in their column twice (Home and Away) and every team in the other 2 columns once.
22 games. Sorted. Sure there may be some discrepancies with regards to travel should Freo & Eagles finish in the same group, but it's not that hard to go interstate and win!
By the sounds of things Gillons going to give the coaches a big **** you and will bring this in. Wanted to do the wild card this season which is just absurd. Will happen next season.
God help the AFL.
I agree Comrade.
Nobody has been able to articulate the benefit of this, other than to quantify that it should deliver the AFL and its strategic partners more revenue.
Interestingly the 17-5 system was baulked at because local games and traditional blockbusters would be reduced. Once again, nothing to do with what it would bring to the competition.
Geez this would be frustrating this season
I think we are seeing with the closeness of the comp we don't need to 'invent' anymore interest.
Just leave as it is.
