Murphy's law... this year will no doubt be one of those seasons where every team in the 8 needs to win for different reasons. Then we have a weekend off to do some gardening.

Brownlow night to be held on the Saturday night perhaps??

I thought about that but apparently Gil has already given it the thumbs down.

The bye weekend pre finals is the perfect weekend for State of Origin footy among players of the teams who don't make the 8.

17 v 18 battle it out. Winner takes pick 1 and avoids the spoon - losing side must do a lap of the MCG on gf day with the spoon at half time.  ;D

Rightly or wrongly, no one was interested in the state of origin games after Ted Whitten passed away. I think they'd be less interested in it without the best players involved.

I like it! As long as it's not us.

Possibly.
It would be a pretty diluted couple of teams...but there would still be a bit of quality there.

The problem would be how committed players would be to such a concept given most of them would be looking for a rest.

I'm not sure too many players would be interested in risking their preseason either. It's like a movie cop on his last day before retirement - it's  tempting fate big time Tongue

The AFL could run a lightning premiership with two 15 minute halves and the final on the Sunday afternoon.  It might be our best chance for some silverware  Smile

Sounds good now but bet it'll be shit when the time arrives. Kills public "momentum" leading ti the finals. Get on a high after round 23 then anti-climax.
