    If someone really wanted a lottery I don't see why it can't be altered to find a happy medium between helping the worst teams and providing the proper motivations. That's not applying 'fixes immediately to stop it being broken too' BTW, it's trying to find a compromise then introducing that as a new system.

    I think pick 1 is over rated sometimes. You often can get as good or better players in the top 5 (Hi Bont, hi Jarred Roughead)
    Jack Macrae is waving and his arm is getting sore.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                Thought it was Macrae but just checked and it was Stringer surprisingly.

                    I would much prefer to have the teams seeded based on the previous years ladder positions.

                    Rankings
                    1 2 3
                    4 5 6
                    7 8 9
                    10 11 12
                    13 14 15
                    16 17 18

                    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!
                    Yep, a 5-17 model. Could work well

                        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.

                            They just don't care they're meant to be custodians of the game, not out for more and more bucks way beyond what they'd ever need. Other than to give out bigger bonuses.

                                They're like the board of Fairfax, always looking at the short term financial implications when making decisions, rather than maintaining the highest possible quality.
                                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                                    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.
                                    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                                            Who would we have played in the 17-5 model? Beceause we would be in the '5' stage by now.

                                                        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
