It's not the NFL with live TV coverage of every game. Could you imagine coming up against a side at finals time that you haven't seen all year and haven't got a clue about?

2*8 team divs

14 rounds

Bye

The remaining 3 weeks you play 3 matches against seeded clubs from other div (but who gets the home games)

Finals- afl 8 team format, top 4 from each div play finals

Rounds 15-18 needs more work but think you'd have more clubs happier like this than having byes and 7 teams etc

Need to keep it as simple as possible.. I dont think seeded games etc is the way to go. I like the idea of 2 x 8 team comps, but then just play sides within your own div, and cop the luck of the draw.. I'd like some sort of resolution soon though, we are only a month off round 1..

Unless its a 10 team comp there is no fair and equitable way of doing an 18 round draw, so I think the league are fighting an uphill battle to satisfy everyone as much as they can.. I think its at the point where people just want it sorted regardless of outcome..

What's not equitable about a 9 team comp with a bye?

Perhaps drop a div 1 reserves team down to see how they'd go against div 6 clubs.

i agree but your then asking a div 6 club to immediately come back down to div 7 to make it 8 teams

Exactly. So how is 9 teams + bye less equitable in 18 rounds than 23 rounds.

isnt the concept of a 7 team season as well as a bye severely unappealing? try attracting players to such a div?

do you think Varcoe's taste buds are still full of excitement plus?

2*8 team divs

# first 14 rounds are easy, they play each other twice

# before the season starts each club is given a RANK

# rounds 15-18, the top rank 4 play the top rank 4 from the other div & the bottom rank 4 play the other bottom rank 4 from the other div

# all clubs get 9 home games, no byes

# afl final 8 system, top4 from each div go to finals to win div 6 premiership

But how is an equal number of home games, away game, and byes, not equitable?

I just need to state that I am on the 9 team side of the coin, I think its no issue. However some people kick up stinks about losing 1 home game beause it could 'cripple' clubs if the bye falls at an inopportune time..

Marbles, I get what you are saying mate but its just far too complicated, 9 team comp is just simple, reverse draw

The old SANFL system wasn't equitable over 23 rounds, some teams played 3 times, others twice.

Over 18 rounds, a 9 team draw is equitable.

Is scrapping all principles of promotion & relegation for the benefit of 7 clubs worthwhile? I doubt it.

It's not going to change now, so lets be sensible.
