Only let the best teams play in the finals and stuff the greedy networks and money grabbers.
Collingwood, Sydney and Adelaide should be on Mad Monday in an ideal world.
We should be the people leading the way because it's our game and without us there'd be no interest (about time they listened) in the AFL.
This week's matches SHOULD be:
Qualifying Final - Port Adelaide v West Coast at Football Park
Elimination Final - North Melbourne v Hawthorn at the MCG
Geelong advancing to the Second Semi Final.

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:23 pmthat is stupid this year is the most even year in the history and port were 3 seconds from finishing 5th. it has to be a top 8. the way the crows played in the last 5 weeks should have beat geelong except for that firts 15 minutes. and the way sydney beat the hawks any one from the geelong to the crows can win this years flagBenchwarmer wrote:Badly compared to the Final Five.

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:49 pmDoes anyone hold out any hope for Collingwood, Adelaide or Sydney to make the GF?
Personally, I would be stunned if they did. Is a 11-11 or 12-10 record really deserving of a finals berth considering what teams had to do 15-20 years ago to make it ... 13 wins could well have meant Mad Monday on the same day as the wooden spooners back then.

Not really - waiting for the bottom 4 teams that keep winning will likely be Geelong at the G and either Eagles/Power in their home states ... bit tough especially as the Crows and Swans are not even starting off at home
