Given that this footy year will inevitably be disrupted and shortened, is it time to use 2020 as a trial of a conference system?
(ignoring the fac that the AFL draw is pretty compromised by agreements for teams to play each other.)
- Two conferences of 9 - 8 x 2 home and away matches for each club - 16 games for each club;
- two conference final series - top 4 from each conference - esentially semi and preliminary finals - maximum 2 games each;
- the winner of each conference playing off in the GF - 1 game.
- Every team would play 16 games
- The GF teams would play 19 games.
