6-8 are penalised with an extra game now? How the **** do these ideas get entertained?

Can they make it a top 16 so we have a chance?
I garuntee you if the federal government passed a law banning a top 10 finals system from being referred to in any part as a 'wildcard' they would instantly abandon this idea.

Eleventhmond or Eleventhton?
This is what they should do and what I predict will happen.
KNOCKOUT FINAL 10
WEEK 1 (winners to week 2, losers out)
1st elimination final: 7 v 10
2nd elimination Final: 8 v 9
WEEK 2 (winners to week 3, losers out)
1st Semi Final: 1st vs lowest ranked Elimination final winner (1 v 8)
2nd Semi Final: 2nd vs highest ranked Elimination final winner (2 v 7)
3rd Semi Final : 3 v 6
4th Semi Final : 4 v 5
WEEK 3 (winners to Grand Final, losers out)
1st Preliminary Final: highest ranked team vs lowest ranked team (1 v 4)
2nd Preliminary Final: 2nd-highest ranked team vs 2nd lowest ranked team (2 v 3)
WEEK 4
Bye (ensuring 14 day break for Grand Final)
WEEK 5
Grand Final (1 v 2)
KNOCKOUT FINAL 10
WEEK 1 (winners to week 2, losers out)
1st elimination final: 7 v 10
2nd elimination Final: 8 v 9
WEEK 2 (winners to week 3, losers out)
1st Semi Final: 1st vs lowest ranked Elimination final winner (1 v 8)
2nd Semi Final: 2nd vs highest ranked Elimination final winner (2 v 7)
3rd Semi Final : 3 v 6
4th Semi Final : 4 v 5
WEEK 3 (winners to Grand Final, losers out)
1st Preliminary Final: highest ranked team vs lowest ranked team (1 v 4)
2nd Preliminary Final: 2nd-highest ranked team vs 2nd lowest ranked team (2 v 3)
WEEK 4
Bye (ensuring 14 day break for Grand Final)
WEEK 5
Grand Final (1 v 2)
- The earliest exit point for the top-seeded teams remains the same as the current final 8 (week 2 being the earliest exit point)
- The pre-finals bye stays (for the top 6)
- There is a bye before the Grand Final, without extending the finals series any longer than what it is now. So, you get the best of both worlds (pre finals bye for top 6 and a bye before the Grand Final)
- Finals series stays at 9 finals over 5 weeks as it is now (4 weeks plus the bye)

Rename a couple of those Week 2 semi finals to qualifying finals and most people will be able to follow this idea…. And likely agree with it
So if all the away teams win in week 2, 3rd and 4th are eliminated? If so, it will never happen as it dictates the games be played in a specfic order, and the 7 will never allow it.
Qualifying Finals (under the current system) aren't really finals in my view in a literal sense. They are really wildcard games to re-seed the top-4 teams.
A FINAL means just that - final. It's the final match for one of the teams in the match.
So, the current final-8 really has two wildcard matches (what we call the Qualifying Finals) and 7 pure finals that are elimination, hence finals
But that is all semantics in the end. All finals should be knockout. We've had two knockout Preliminary Finals since 1994 and a knockout Grand Final for 100 years for crying out loud.

It doesn't dictate games to be played in a specific order at all. What the hell are you talking about? Win and you progress, lose and you are out. You can play the games in any order. None of the top teams can be eliminated in week one. The earliest exit point for the top teams (week two) remains the same as the current system. The guaranteed week off replaces the double chance.
It does. First vs eighth game must be the last game played, in order to prevent the teams between third and sixth entering their finals knowing that the game is already a dead rubber. So the two top teams have to get the shortest break into the 3rd week.
Nothing that you just said is true. Nothing. What the hell are you even talking about? Read the system again.
So if they play 1v8 on Friday night, and 2 v 7 on Saturday afternoon, and 1st and 2nd win, 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5th are playing for nothing so they rest their entire teams and get another bye. Its the exact same problem which was a major reason they abandoned the Mcintire system.
READ THE GOD DAMN SYSTEM!
So no explaining how I'm wrong, because I'm not, so thanks for admitting I'm right.
I know fixtures aren't your strong suit, you swore up and down that Essendon v. Gold Coast wouldn't be played in round 24, that the AFL would remove both their midseason byes and redo the entire fixture to put it in midseason, and then when they seheducled it in round 24 you totally disappared.
