two byes for winner A?

Not a huge fan.

I really don't think that top 8 playing off is that big of a deal- that's the format the AFL used when it had 16 teams, and we have 14 so it's really not that much less...

it actually makes it easier for the top four- think of it this way, 8th team (aka, me) is probably going to be pretty far behind 6th placed team (bison)  in my case, by like 11% (in contrast, bison is only 10% behind first). That being said, it's completely plausible that I could pull out a monster score against bison and knock them out. However, it's unlikely that I would pull out said monster score 2 weeks in a row, so basically that gives the loser of the top 4 I play a free ride afterwards.

exactly, i feel the 8 team final rewards the top teams more than the 6 model. The 8 version gives a big advantage to the top 4 and really thats what people should be aiming for. From the AFL we all know its incredibly tough to win outside the top 4.

my team's really young and full of spuds and I still made formals

Man, that's a true sign of how gun your team is. Wearing formal wear and still making finals.

haha, true. Of my best 15 I think goodes is the only one over like 24...

could be wrong though :P

*edit* hawkins is 25, and unfortunately this season has had to start a lot :P

To be fair I didn't see the word grand. I will make finals for a long long time

Next year I'm going undefeated all season. An OOP cost me the win and I will fix that.

In typical holz fashion watch me go down in the prelims or grabdfinal. I'm the home and away champ.never win anything always just miss out

Hope I use all my luck up in SC

Well, you called it. :o

It always happens. Watch me just miss out on the overall sc and go down in the elxam sc grandfinal while I'm at it.
