What the title says. It would add a lot more excitement and teams can't 'tank' because all games would be played at the same time. At the start of this round, every team from 2-6 had a chance of finishing 2nd. Every (or at least most) European leagues schedule last round games at the same time, so why doesn't the FFA??
 
Indeed it should, They won't do it because they want to maximize TV revenue.
That's crap if that's the reason as to why they don't schedule all games at the same time. Then why doesn't the English FA have a problem with it?? The Italian FA? etc....

It's the way it's always been over there, no need to change it. The same thing happens with the AFL, how good would it be to see all the round 24 games played on a Saturday afternoon?
 
Completely agree. Playing last is a massive advantage, knowing you need to go out and attack or can just play defensively for a draw etc. In a team with so few teams where anything can happen, playing last is way too much of an advantage. It also adds a heap to the excitement, which would make whichever games you are watching a much better spectacle. That sort of interest and excitement brings new fans to the game.
