Re: AFL reaches in-principle agreement with Tasmania for 19th team
So we have to get rid of the top 8 now right.
Too many miss out.

Yep. How a top 10 will look will be interesting as it's more difficult to avoid odd numbers.
Maybe the wild card week might work with 7 v 10 and 8 v 9 whilst the top 6 have a bye. Then go to the current top 8 system.

Or....we just keep it as top eight and the finals as a four week block at the end of an already long season.
More teams making the finals than not is silly to me.

Imagine the non games. Doubt they can do it.

Exactly. Interest needs to be maintained so more teams being in contention is needed. This is with a view of a 20 team comp which will happen shortly after Tassie come in. AFL won't want weekly byes for long.
With 20 teams id prefer the season is shortened to 19 rounds or 20 including the cash rivalry round. But the AFEL won't do it having already gone up to 23 rounds.

Re: AFL reaches in-principle agreement with Tasmania for 19th team
Are non-games at the end of the season better than routes in finals?
And how much of a compounding impact would one team have on actual non-games at the end of the season? Are we talking one or two more a year?

11 teams missing out just seems a bit off to me.

Yeah, and more teams making it than missing out seems perfectly normal.....

Add a 20th team and have everyone play eachother once. One year home, the other away. If you play Freo away you play WCE home. It won't be perfectly fair (which would need 38 games or something) but it's about as unmolested by other interests as possible and as close as is realistic.
You can still get all your state mandated 'blockbusters' too.

Don't like that either.
Come up with a plan Jee.
Top 9? Can that be a thing?

Top eight. Same format. That's my plan, anyone who says otherwise can get stuffed.

I think we'll see the relocation argument come about again prior to going to twenty teams. Or, the removal of one of GWS or GCS.
