With Good Friday coming into play there will now be four public holiday blockbuster games in the first half of the season.

This proposal will ensure every club gets their fair share of these prime dates. Wil be a cup style competion for the 10 Victorion clubs but with the premiership points as well. Played out over four dates with a final on Queens Birthday in chronological order.

One qualifying game each will be played on Good Friday and Easter Monday. The winners will qualify for ANZAC day the following season.

The winner of ANZAC day gets to play on Queens Birthday the following season against the Cup holder who is the winner of the previous QB game.

Teams will qualify for the GF and EM games from a queue system so every team gets a chance to reach the QB game over a 3 season period. All losers will be relegated back to the queue to await their next turn. Under this system 8 clubs will play one blockbuster each a season with two clubs in the queue for the following season.

To ensure a smooth transition, it wil start with the two Easter qualifying games with ANZAC and QB remaining the same until the first 3 season rotation is complete and self replicating.

Any opinions?

Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
