We already have pseudo conferences in how the fixture is organised, most teams you'll play twice are the ones you finished around the year before. Having the preseason have any kind of effect on the regular season results wise is really loving dumb. Having a point where you switch from the season to a post-season round robin would be hell for organising. People plan now to travel during the season, having some mid season shift would be the worst, like the brain of the person this came from. Double down on the conference fixture, don't guarantee two derbies or showdowns, make the bottom 6 go into a lottery for the bottom pick. Done.

I'd call it bottom four for the pick - making it the bottom 6 last year would have been Melbourne, St Kilda, Essendon, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Carlton, and giving Melbourne another chance to gently caress up yet another first draft pick could be too much to bear.

Apparently at the women's combine in Melbourne the training tops given out were Melbourne, Bulldogs, Carlton and Essendon. Who knows if it means anything.

I thought you were allowed to hang poo poo on Melbourne if you've been a supporter since you were 4. Having said that, I only support them because I grew up in Daylesford in the early 80s, where the local team was called the Demons. Also, they have the coolest name in the comp.

Just get the women's essendon team to replace essendon forever. I think it would be great.

TG-Chrono posted:Double down on the conference fixture, don't guarantee two derbies or showdowns, make the bottom 6 go into a lottery for the bottom pick. Done. I agree with the first part, but imo a lottery of the first 6 picks of the draft would be a horrible ideal. The only real justification that I've heard for it is to stop tanking but it doesn't really even do that. All it does it shift the tanking from the bottom few teams to the team just outside the lottery cutoff point. Plus it would seriously hurt the equalisation part of the draft, which I think is already struggling to properly work. IMO if the AFL was serious about equalisation they'd bring in a mini-round between the first and second rounds of the draft. So the bottom 4 or 6 teams get picks, 19,20,21,22,23 and 24 and then the 2nd rounds starts as normal. I'd be tempted to make this a lottery but I'm not too fussed either way. I don't think anyone is going to think those picks are particularly worth tanking over. It should be an easy and effective way to help clubs improve their on field performances quicker. For example, the Saint's rebuild was based on a plan to get 50% more picks in the first 3 rounds of the draft over a 3-4 year period. I think most rebuilding clubs would have similar targets. A mini-round would give them the the foundation of the picks required to rebuild from while still probably requiring them to trade out players for additions picks.

You can weight lotteries, 17th, 18th have more chance than 16th-12th have less chance than 11th, 10th.

TG-Chrono posted:Collingwood just missed making finals didn't they? They finished 11th, there was a serious logjam of teams in the 6-12 bracket that was super competitive. But why bother if it's weighted? All it would seem to do is maybe reduce the incentive to tank (as if the recent examples of it haven't demonstrated that it's a horrible idea) while seriously compromising the way the draft was designed to promote on field cyclical equality.

McGuire added nobody cared about the current NAB Challenge format, arguing they are just "glorified practice matches". No Eddie, they are literal practice matches. That's the entire purpose of them. Who cares if nobody cares about them?!

Oh Eddie. If we made the NAB challenge matter, then would it just not be a longer season?

Meh, the dickhead here is the oval office that's filming it, Mitch is just blind drunk, he wasn't hurting any one, sure he peed himself, a good chunk of us have while drunk or not. he left once he was asked, he didn't argue or cause a commotion. That girl kissed back so she didn't care too much.

How do they go about selecting these guys as captains? The AFL at least seems to have captains as people with half a brain, but wasn't the guy who groped a teenage daughter of someone connected to the club and ran around a golf course naked also the captain of his club? Possibly even regaining the captaincy at a later date?(not sure on that bit, maybe he was just really mad and couldn't understand why it had been stripped from him?) Counterpoint: Ben cousins I guess
