I am interested to hear what others think of having a final eight system. Personally I think it really is a joke having half the teams able to make the finals. It really doesn't give this great game of ours credability around the world. When you explain the game to someone out side of Australia, they think its a joke having a full season of games and half of the teams making the finals. Why are Australians obsessed with finals? Look at the A League, thats a joke too with their finals system. Lets face it, its almost impossible to win a flag from positions 5 to 8. The current system rewards mediocracy and is only for TV rights but does nothing for attendence and supporters. Compare, the finals series attendance of the 1970's and 1980's and you will see what I mean.

I would like to see a final 6, or even 5.

What do you think?
