I'm up for a less regular season games/more finals ratio.

I find the regular season very long in comparison to what you actually get for your efforts. The sides out of the finals race have nothing to play for a very long time.

With the final 8 system 1-4 and 5-8 have identical benefits if they are from the same state. We won't always have a Vic top 4 but I would like to see greater advantages for sides finishing higher up on the ladder. The sides guaranteed a home QF can have very little to play for for a very long time.

I'd like to see a finals system that goes for a week or even 2 longer, with that time being cut from the regular season but most importantly I want to see a finals system that separates it's advantages. Give the top 2 as much as a leg up as possible, 3rd and 4th a rung below that, 5th and 6th so on and 7-10 very little.
