It was a bit confusing on the first read but basically Brisbane is the only team not to have played another Final 8 team in the last 8 rounds of this year.
I'm a big proponent of Tassie getting a team of their own (or a relocated team) however if they don't fill the stadiums this week then I will change my tune on that and say that they don't deserve a team of their own.
Why should it not continue on? We're still playing games. Every fit listed player is on a level playing field. The Brownlow only stops at the end of the H & A season because 10 teams aren't playing anymore.
