There's been some discussion in recent days about James Brayshaws idea of a 20 round fixture, with every team playing each other once along with the 3 extra games including an opening, rivalry and heritage round to ensure Essendon play Collingwood twice, Geelong and Hawthorn etc.
The thing I found interesting though is his idea of how these fixtures would work year to year. He used the example of us and North Melbourne, saying if they hosted us at Etihad in 2015 we would host them in Simonds at 2016.
And there is my question. If the Brayshaw fixture or some other sort of fixture with less games (will say 20) eventuated, how would that effect our home game situation at Simonds? With the above mentioned example I can't see us hosting more than 7 out of our 10 home games a year at Simonds regularly.
