Top 8

Why should mediocrity and average teams be awarded with finals football.

the reason why is so the AFL can extend the season and squeeze more money-making games in.. didnt u read the article?

Same thing could've been said when it went from top 5 to top 8. You want top 5 back? Don't want 10 team finals though, I want 8 teams *hisses*

If the AFL can find a way to include more finals, they'll do it in a heart beat. Maybe they should shorten the season and play everyone once and chuck in a final 14 ;D

Top 6 out of 16 would have been a little unfair. ;)

It is stubid if there is a 10 team final series. Stop changing the game.
