******* dickheads, how do I go to the footy and Grinspoon at the same time?

Reckon the AFL are crystal balling what implications each game may have, thereby trying to maximise interest and excitement. Sunday's games potentially have 4 teams playing for top spot, a top 4 spot, and also a top 8 spot.

Absolute joke. As Beef said, with the bye before finals, no reason why they can't have this out with the other fixtures.
Then they go and give Hawthorn & the Bulldogs the Friday night game when 1 is 50/50 for the 8 and the other team just about mathematically out of the race. Seriously, what is the point of this floating fixture. Brisbane & North get a Sat arvo game as well. I wouldn't have an issue with how these games line up if it was done with the other fixtures but this just totally doesn't make sense.

I know what I would pick, playing Gold Coast wouldn't be a hard act to follow.

It does as the teams more likely to play finals would prefer to play as late as possible on the weekend with there being a bye before finals. Teams unlikely to make the finals would want to get their last game done and dusted asap.

I think it makes no difference and once the pre-finals bye was introduced it's been pointless.

True, i just don't see the point of having a floating fixture anymore. Just makes no sense to me

I agree, it does make a little bit of difference but obviously not as much as before, only other thimg would be to maximise ratings like the NRL all the time.

I think they should scrap the bye and everyone play in their home state in round 23.

Not a bad idea, wouldn't work though as the AFL wouldn't allow a Showdown, Derby, Q Clash, Bridge or whatever it is called clash, all in the same round. Plus there would be at least 1-2 blockbusters in the all Vic games

Maybe they could go back to not having a bye, having the final round published at the start of the season and every club just deal with it.
