For the exact same reason why Richmond deserve to be in the finals ahead of West Coast or Adelaide. You play for five months and earn the double chance, you earn the home final in the Semi. Not Rocket Surgery.
I'd rather have better Grand Finals with the arguably more predictable lesser finals. The final series should ensure the best two teams play off for the premiership. In my view the current model does this much more effectively.
