Why don't the two captains just line up for a game of knuckles? Winner progresses.
Two man sack race with the two captains, from goal to goal.. all draws should resolved this way
* the flip of a coin, make it a shoot out
with real guns
Even better.

So what if us and Gold Coast both finish on the same win/loss/draw ratio AND the same percentage? Who gets pick 1?
The team more universally liked; right now its 50/50.

Surely it wouldnt go to the Gold Coast Cokes?
So Points For is never a factor? Not during the season, nor at the end of the season? Was it ever a way of separating teams on the ladder?
Ladder prior to end of season:
- Premiership Points, then Percentage, then Alphabetical
Ladder at end of season:
- Premiership Points, then Percentage, then Head to Head Premiership Points, then Head to Head Percentage, then "Drawing of Lots"
That all sound correct?

i would think the AFL may opt for a play off between the two... easy to do if they stick with this bye round before the finals.... again, unlikely for this scenario to ever happen... % is a virtually flawless tie breaker

You get equal custody. You each get to play the pick every other game.
I would not be surprised if the post-R23 bye is scrapped after this year. It doesn't achieve what the AFL thought it would. For example, if the Bulldogs are stuck in 7th, or at least, they can't move up, they will most likely rest players and not send them to Perth. It doesn't particularly matter if they have to play the following week or not, although it may not be ideal for some players to have 2 weekends without footy. But if a player has a minor yet legitimate injury, they will probably be rested, but would play if it was a final rather than a rather meaningless dead H&A match.
agree... the pre-finals bye is dumb... doesn't stop tanking

Your summary seems correct. I'm not sure if the 'Points for' question is serious though. Percentage is 'Points For' divided by 'Points Against', times 100. So 'Points For' is always a factor.
That stuff I quoted was from the Laws of the Game if I remember correctly, so unless it's changed since then, I doubt they'd go against the laws already in place. Then again, the AFL do like to make knee-jerk decisions on the fly so I wouldn't put it past them.
Agree completely, I think this was another of their not-so-well thought out plans.

Maybe they could play off in the week off before the finals if it happens this year.
I used to think that after percentage they go to who has most For. It's possible (but not definite) this would be the same and then they could go to results between the sides
Recall in the nineties this was a possibility and the AFL said there would be a play off game but then the respective teams agreed on some sort of penalty shoot out style scenario with shots from 40m out our something

That explains the rumour that the bulldogs are about to change their name to the AA Bulldogs.
Adelaide and Port Adelaide both currently tied on percentage while both the Bulldogs and Hawthorn are tied on percentage. There's an outside chance we could see a tie in percentage this year for 8th spot.

I think who ever scored the most boundaries gets in
No, they're not. Adelaide is 0.0001269862% ahead of Port. Most ladders only display one decimal place.
