    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    What's wrong with: come in the top 2, you get advantages. It's that simple.

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    Do you not see the logical fallacy with your argument? You can't argue that it's an issue for 3rd to have the same mathematical chance as 6th, while ignoring that 1st already has the same chance as 4th. Last year, 3rd (Brisbane) finished half a game ahead of 6th (Fremantle) and got a huge...

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    There is no difference coming 1st and 4th under the current system. That's a bigger issue.

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    Not sure what you're on about. In the proposed system 5th has more advantages than 7-10. Because under the knockout system, to win from 7th you would have to: win four in a row win at least two away games win against a team coming off a bye. It would actually be HARDER to win from 7th under...

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    The double chance makes sense in a final 4. As soon as you go beyond that it creates issues.

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    There has to be an incentive to finish higher on the ladder, but there's no particular reason why that advantage should go to the top 4, rather than say the top 2 or top 6. Why? As someone else has pointed out, if your poor game happens to be in the preliminary final or the grand final, bad...

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    Why does the extra reward for the top teams have to be a double chance and why does it have to be the top 4?

    Opinion The AFL should introduce a 'points' system to facilitate trading

    The draft night already drags on quite a bit. With a well-designed auction system you could ensure that each pick is allocated reasonably quickly - for instance, 30 seconds to outbid before a pick is 'sold'.

    Opinion The AFL should introduce a 'points' system to facilitate trading

    Yeah this one is tricky - there isn't necessarily an incentive for the club with the most remaining points to nominate their preferred player, so I agree they shouldn't get to keep choosing if they keep getting outbid. An alternative could be to have the players nominated in...

    Opinion The AFL should introduce a 'points' system to facilitate trading

    As long as the auction is for picks (rather than players), it shouldn't really matter if the auction is silent or not (in terms of incentives). But a silent auction could really change the strategy, as you wouldn't know which players other clubs are targeting - e.g. could see clubs paying more...

    Opinion The AFL should introduce a 'points' system to facilitate trading

    The fact that many nerds are in favour of it suggests it's probably the way the AFL should go. I've heard plenty of arguments against it too, but nothing convincing.

    Opinion The AFL should introduce a 'points' system to facilitate trading

    Thanks for sharing the paper - I had no idea this is where the DVI came from. Disappointing the AFL only half committed to the proposal - if you are going to use points for one aspect of the draft (FS/NGA picks), why not use it for everything and make it harder to rort. I also think an auction...

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    This is not a perfect step down advantage - far from it. If two Vic teams finish 1 and 4, there is ZERO benefit that 1 gets over 4. 2 also get an easier PF than 1 most years if both win the QF. Then there is the massive gap between 4 and 5 (decided on percentage this year), where 4 has three...

    Opinion The AFL should introduce a 'points' system to facilitate trading

    From a 'how much media can be generated' perspective (which is probably high on the AFL's agenda), I suspect it would take some drama out of trades, but we'd probably see more trades go through.

    Opinion The AFL should introduce a 'points' system to facilitate trading

    Obviously you didn't read the OP... But if you think this will affect the bottom sides' access to picks, do you know what you can do? Just give more points to the bottom sides. As weevil has pointed out, a points system can be made much more flexible. And whoever is willing to pay the most for...
