The pre finals bye

Remove this Banner Ad

Great for Carlton. Bad for clubs with momentum like Geelong, Sydney, Hawthorn etc

I don't mind it myself. Used to it now

It will hurt Hawthorn the most. Inexperienced and will have to spend the week listening to how great they have been.

Geelong it will help immensely. Older legs like Stanley, Dangerfield and Duncan will really relish the week off.
 
Only two teams that finished 1st on the ladder won a grand final with in the pre-finals bye era and that were Geelong in 2022 and Collingwood last year.

In addition, a team can go out in straight sets easily after finishing in the top 4.
