Brisbane, Fremantle, Collingwood Geelong and Sydney only played one. The Cats also played North and West Coast twice.I've been writing about this for well over a decade now.
Found various ways to make it fairer than our current system. Nobody wants a bar of it because.....tradition....or some equally poor reasoning.
17 rounds doesn't work. You can't get even home and away matches, you could get a very hard draw one year and a very easy draw the next and repeat. The AFL don't get enough games, thus get enough money, thus the players need to take a pay cut etc.
