Roast Where's the apology AFL?

Do you remember the expansion years with an uneven number of clubs?
Every week one team ONLY had a bye, and we had the monstrosity of MATCH RATIO percentage dictate ladder position rather than wins and losses.

I’d rather have North Melbourne or St.kilda in the league than that.

But if we could get rid of both…
I don't remember that. But you are right, uneven number of teams mean one team has to have a bye every round. Maybe that era was so traumatic, my brain blocked it out of my memory.

Hold on, how did that even work? Not every team plays every other team equally. That means some teams would have two byes in a season.

It didn't work really - the biggest abortion of a plan the AFL has ever conceived - and with their shambolic administration since taking over from the VFL that is saying plenty.
