It needs to have the ability to send one team through to the GF and two sides play off for the chance to get into the GF in the prelim. Not sure a final 8 can be worked that way unless you only have a 2nd chance in week 1 of the finals.
I don't mind it, mainly because the fixture is so lopsided at times it isn't a true reflection on who is the best team for the season.
I do think that this season has been accurate at the top end, Adelaide, GWS and Geelong all had difficult draws and still remained strong.
