I like footy, but seriously, this same issue year after year about who is facing who and how many times without any systematic formula to it (like what the NFL has) is just a farce.
This thing about splitting the league into weighted groups is BS as you know the AFL will break their own rules to always ensure that Carlton/Collingwood/Essendon play each other twice when this system fails to produce those fixtures in a given year.
If you want your annual blockbusters twice, time to bring in divisions to at least justify it, with a formula in place to ensure sides play sides out of their division an equal amount of times.
Can't do that, what would happen to anyone leaning on the corrupt side?
