Yeah I think that’s it. Plus $$$.Perhaps the magic round, and rotating it between the states that aren’t Victoria, is a sneaky way by the AFL to get the states to bid for a big AFL tourist event, and to quell the complaints every year about the grand final being contracted to Victoria.
Another go at what the magic round fixture could look like for Sydney:
Friday: Geelong v Richmond/Port v Gold Coast/Carlton v St Kilda SCG
Saturday: Sydney v Collingwood/Essendon v Melbourne/Fremantle v Brisbane Accor
Sunday: GWS v W. Bulldogs/West Coast v North/Hawthorn v Adelaide Giants Stadium
