Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 2398275, member: 1831"] Conference won't happen anytime in the future... we MIGHT see it one day but the game would have to be much bigger IMO. I don't like the McIntyre... week 1 is just so garbage. 3/4 shouldn't be in a situation where they should be eliminated. Especially since 7/8 get a shot at the title as well. There is NO reward for 3/4. The lesser of two evils is the AFL system. However I think we should bite the bullet and give team 1 and 2 a week off straight away. The counter argument is how about momentum BLA BLA BLA but they get a week off in week 2 ANYWAY. It should be TOP 7 WEEK 1: (assume higher placed teams win) 1 - WEEK OFF 6v7 (ELIM) - 6 home ground 2v3 - (2 HOME, winner gets WEEK 2 OFF) 4v5 - (winner gets WEEK 2 HOME) WEEK 2: 1- WEEK OFF 2- WEEK OFF 4v6 (4 HOME) 3v5 (3 HOME) WEEK 3: (IF a Sydney team plays, the game MUST be played at the SFS/ANZ (I think finals should be in Sydney from Week 3 ANYWAY) - IF BOTH teams are regional, the higher ranked team may move the game to Melbourne/QLD/NZ --> e.g. Broncs/Cows 2004) 1v4 2v3 GF: (ANZ) 1v2 People might complain 2 weeks off kills momentum for the minor premiers - I don't buy it... I think coming 1st in the competition DESERVES to go straight to the Semi. Under the current system you verse team 8 and go straight to the SEMI ANYWAY. This system rewards the minor premiers deservedly. If they can't get up for the semi with a two week break they don't deserve to win it as far as I'm concerned. 6v7 is brilliant - this is a wildcard chance. You came 6th and 7th. You deserve nothing. No home ground (except week 1), no second chances. It's a second life for these teams. The wildcard draw. I like it. If 6 or 7 were to win, they have to do it tough all the way through. 2v3 have everything to play for in week 1 because you advance to week 3 straight away - everything to play for here. 4v5 - everything to play for here as well - you get home ground in week 2 PLUS you verse the winner of 6 and 7, in MOST cases that would be BETTER than taking on the loser of 2/3... correct? This system makes week 1 so much more meaningful - because you have something to play for. I believe it is only ONE less game than the current system. Hardly commercial suicide. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
