I have serious concerns regarding the top sides being penalised by only playing 1 game over a four week period.

In my belief the tigers and the crows are the better two sides and should face off against each other in the finals. However I can see the tigers getting picked off by the giants tonight due to this break. I'm still thinking the crows will win despite the long break "penalty".

Perhaps the round 22 break isn't the issue. Perhaps the finals series needs to change and get rid of the earned week off and get rid of double chances.

Wk 1
A - 1v8
B - 2v7
C - 3v6
D - 4v5

Wk 2 A v D, B v C

Wk 3 finals

The AFL lose a week and 2 games which means lost revenue. So although fair, it won't happen.
In this scenario the tigers would have been "rewarded" with an elimination final against the 6th place swans after finishing 3rd? Nah current system much fairer.
