AFLW announce 'conferences' for 2019

[kruddler]

That was poorly written on my part, and poorly interpreted on your part. ;D
You would only play the other teams in your division. You would play them twice. A total of 18 games -Home and Away-Plus a four or five team final series. Less games, much simpler.  If you want to call it a conference and do away with the promotion /relegation fine.

So what you're saying is given where all the teams are currently.

We would play against GC, Freo, Adelaide, St. Kilda, Brisbane, Bulldogs twice....as well as 2 new teams twice.

But wouldn't play against Collingwood or Richmond at all....and Essendon just sneak into the bottom section, but would most likely go up the next year meaning that we wouldn't play any of the other big 4 (including traditionals Melbourne, Hawthorn and Geelong).

Yeah, nah.

Not many games for me to get excited about seeing. With teams like that our gate takings would fall through the floor as well as interest in the team. $'s would dry up. We hand back the keys.

Good plan
