[PLAYERCARD]Justin Longmuir[/PLAYERCARD] reaction after hearing the finals is expanding to 10 teams from next year. Surely no matter how wrong things go next season we still make finals now. No AFL coach gets sacked after making finals is the golden rule apparently.
Here’s to 7 more years of JL!

Was about to say the same thing.
In b4 “You can’t fire a coach after they’ve made the wildcard round!”
Sigh.
On a serious note though, I think this increases the risk of teams and coaches becoming perennial mid table obscurity types from 7th to 10th and on paper - “making finals” - but in reality never being realistic contenders to win it.
The likes of Brett Ratten will be sickened this wasn’t around when he was a head coach.
God I hope we don’t end up in that trap.
Freomaniac will be estatic though. Real chance he gets to experience a few finals series in a row now no matter how we perform.

Just screws an interstate team that finishes 7th to 8th even further.
Awesome for a big Victorian team that inevitably makes a deep finals run playing away at the MCG 3-4 times in a row though.

Finishing 6th is now a massive buff over finishing 7th, percentage is massive as of next year
They bring this shit in and last ouch in one year, Andrew Dillon is a failure In my eyes now

Underated movie.
It basically guaranteed a coach would keep his job as an AFL Senior coach.

This might have the opposite impact where finishing seventh and losing in 'wildcatd' round might see a coach lose their job.

Most of the main plot, if you could call it that, is pretty bad. But many of the set pieces and vignettes are hilarious. The 'Roadkill: Caught on Tape' bit still makes me laugh now

It's a shame Trey and Matt aren't fans of it as it is a very underrated cult classic that has gotten better (and more memeable) with age.

The plot was essentially just the device that allowed the set pieces to advance. David Zucker films aren't exactly known for their nuanced plotlines yet movies like Airplane and The Naked Gun are revered

FMD. I was going to say the AFL is turning into a clown show, but I think that happened quite some time ago. Cue: Benny Hill music.
The AFL needed to do something to prevent the situation where there were too many clubs without a chance of making finals, resulting in an excessive number of meaningless games.
But I dont think this is the best solution. Conferences is a better alternative IMHO, but this was probably too much of a jump for the very conservative AFL.
Maybe they could trial it in the AFLW, in preparation for when they bring in Tasmania?

They had conferences in aflw and it was awful so they ditched it
One of the years 5 of the top 6 teams were in one conference so it was completely skewed
Same year we got robbed of the prem due to COVID

Hypothetically, if some financially powerful people wanted to make a breakaway league would it even be possible? I've noticed the term Aussie Rules has been replaced by AFL over the past decade. These succubus' own the game in its entirety now, don't they?
