please refer to the link. the AFL have provided us with prospective ideas for the pre-season, home and away season and finals from 2012 onwards. they have also given us an opportunity to enter our own formats. this is a very interesting initiative from the AFL, and finally a positive, after all the crap eminating out of city hall of late.

fwiw, i think number 3a is by far the best scenario for the h&a season... in this option, we play each other once over 17 games, and then reset the fixture so the top 6, middle 6, and bottom 6 play each other again over the final 5 rounds. but i don't think the ladder should be separated as mentioned in this suggestion... although i think the flight for the no. 1 draft pick is an interesting scenario, which would eliminate tanking.

opinions?
 
The Roswell Alien appears at 2:02. It has some decent moves. :hihi
 
Entered my idea, entitled 'keep your hands off the game, Vlad'. Not sure if they will take it on board.

Can you imagine the commentators saying "GWS are leading the Northern Conference due to their strong Dee-fence".

It`s bad enough listening to young Australian girls talking with an American accent,i had a girl tell me last week that she barracks for "Assendon".
 
You know, if they propose that the 3 "mini leagues" are cleanly and randomly drawn each year, I could almost live with it. Almost.
 
If they were really serious, they would get rid of finals. Only way to be sure the best team of the year wins the premiership.

Disagree. The best team of the year isn't just consistent, but can also step up on that one day in September.

So call them divisions then as tora suggested in the other thread on this. Conferences/Divisions are a fantastic idea to force the draw to be more even. However as Dermie suggested on SEN tonight the AFL are probably just playing funny buggers with us and will do what they wanted to all along while trying to leave fans feeling like they were given a choice.
 
The AFL is using both "conferences" and "divisions" as in their definition they are not the same. I prefer the term, "bunches". Like bananas.

Nice for Dermie to state the obvious.
