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!!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
