Last night on "On The Couch" Mark Evans raised the possibility of a 17/5 fixture coupled with a 10 team finals series.
First 17 weeks - play each team once.
Top 6 play each other once for finals seedings.
Middle 6 play each other for 4 "wild card" berths.
Bottom 6 play each other for draft order.
There are a number of finals formats that could be used, including having 2 wild card games playing for 7th and 8th position and then continuing with the final 8 as it is now. I actually prefer a finals series with no double chances, so every game is win or go home.....
Finals Week 1: Wild Card Weekend
10th at 7th
9th at 8th
Week 2: Qualifying Finals
Lowest wild card seed at 1st
2nd lowest wild card at 2nd
6th at 3rd
5th at 4th
Week 3: Semi Finals
Lowest seeded winner at highest seeded winner
2nd lowest seed at 2nd highest
Week 4: Grand Final
Grand Final between week 3 winners
Key points:
No double chances - every game is sudden death.
All games played at home grounds except Grand Final.
No preliminary finals - to make Bulldog fans happy.
