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 ??

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.

Why would anyone want to see Richmond make the finals?

:lol:

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!!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
