Oppo Camp AFL Round 15 - Other Game Discussion

Its bad enough now with 50% of the comp making finals, definitely dont need to add to that.

I mean I think 8 from 18 works pretty damn well. You cull out a side that wouldn’t do any damage anyway now. Very few teams since the comp has gone to 18 have been completely rubbish in the EF - and ironically enough both North and Essendon have been the ones who got belted almost every time.

Yea, massive brain fart from me thinking there was only 16 sides.. . ...jumangiwhatyearisit.jpg

But I still reckon 9 is joke. Competitiveness isn't an issue, moreso it's rewarding teams who don't deserve to be rewarded for a bog average regular season. If we had 32 teams like the NFL do , expand the finals by all means. As it stands with the number of teams we have I think I'd rather cut it back to 6 than expand to 9 if given the choice.

Yeah I have no interest in wild cards or anything 8 from 10 works well. What I would like to avoid dead rubbers is a 17-5 fixture. Top 6 has the top 2/4 at stake, Middle 6 is competing for the last two spots in the 8, and introduce a draft lottery that rewards wins (amongst other things) with the bottom 6

I don't agree with that last part because it's unfair on the bottom teams they should still have best the crack in a lottery system.

Yeah I could have elaborated that part, no way would you be giving more entries to the team that finishes 13th if the win all 5 of the last games. I’d give set amounts of entries to teams based on their win-loss after the first 17 games when they’ve played everyone once, with your 17ths and 18ths having a significant amount more than your 13ths and 14ths, with wins earning them a token amount rather than something that would skew the lottery away from the bottom teams advantage

That free kick against Maynard. Holy crap. That you're needs to be dropped.

It was a trash decision. Umpires need to suck it up and be more lenient when players kick off after s**t calls like that. 50m just compounds the terrible decision.

West Coast v Dogs

A west coast win sends us two games clear on top but brings WC closer to the top 4.

A dogs win keeps our buffer to just 4 points and makes top 4 much, much harder for West Coast.

I have West Coast in the same light as Richmond - the team I’d least like to make the top 4. They’ve got all their guns back and on paper it’s a fantastic 22.

Outside of a draw, I’d like the dogs to get up for us.

Richmond keep leaving the door open for these mid tier tables to jump in but none of them capitalise.

I guess thats what makes them mid tier clubs, Richmond included.

It's garbage, dont let anyone tell you it's anything other than a money make scheme.

When the top 9 is well clear of tenth one year do we overreact and make the tenth team a potential wild card finalist also? Where does it end?

It's a slippery slope to absolute craziness from a league that already over thinks way too many things.

It’s also seppo bullshit. No offence AmericanAFL
