Vlad..our imperialist leader..all hail Vlad !! has suggested that possibly 8 might not be the 'best' fit for finals if 18 teams come to fruition !!

Vlad...what are you on ? Are you honestly suggesting the final series you reign over isnt good enough?. Actually I agree..there's 4 too many teams. But you want 5 more..you want 9 ??

Folks if ever you wanted proof there is nothing more in the itenary for the AFL to extract money where its not warranted then here it is. This guy is a clown. Andrew, there is no ned to change the system just because you want to add more teams. You make a mockery of the competition as it is let alone adding more games to the finals series.

Sorry...I can see it now..9 teams works so well !! how remiss of me. AD..you and the organisation you so sorrowfully represent are now almost comical. Lets admit it shall we..It's all about money, all about more games to air!!

Why not have a final 18 !!..a round robin ??

Vlad..Finals are Finals for a very good reason. They are supposed to represent the teams that have earnt a right to compete for the final prize. This means attrition. Not all teams make it.

I know this means conntless sleepless nights as you ponder how to tell the sponsors..but youre a big boy now...arent you ??

But we do understand the workings of the Death Star. . You wont allow a footy mad state to compete.. you wont implement stategies that may alienate Collingwood. You will persist in expansionist ideas despite council rulings. You will go where no ground is allowed.. in fact it seems you do as you damn well please.

But if a final 5 was sillyness..isnt a final 9 just as ludicrous ??

Why would anyone want to see Richmond make the finals?

:lol:

As it is, to make the finals now a team only needs to be within the top 50% of the competition.

Having a top 8 in a 18 team competition would actually mean that making the finals has more meaning. IMO it should be a top 6 in an 18 team competition to really sort the best teams.

I completely agree.

Bring Back the Final Five. Team That Finishes Top gets a Rest. Three & Four get Double Chance. Four & Five are on the Knife edge. The way it should be

I am still Filthy that MFC beat adelaide week 1 of '98 by 10 Goals & then went on to win the Flag. They Should have been eliminated. Bastards!!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
