    There’s been so much conjecture over the years about our finals series, especially in the early days, so this now gives us a legitimate way to move to a 4-week finals series, but still play each other once each in the ’home & away’ season.

    Damn, I didn’t realise that.
    I guess we just stick to status quo for finals, but have a longer mid season break?

    yeah, it's a bummer; initially I thought like you "yea, let's have a change to the finals." But, true to form, the afl could not organise a piss-up in a brewery.

    Wrap up a week early to try and mitigate against players being rested?

    I was wondering if maybe we just have 1 week of SOO, and exclude Suns and Cats players from selection... But I think better to go with 4 rounds
