So put a formula in place the way the NFL does, for instance, where each position has a specific draw attached to it.
There are two neutral games, one being Gather Round and another as yet undetermined and a slight shortening of the game window to accommodate the additional games.
So the three hour broadcast window as it currently is would be two and a half hours.
It would be a nip and tuck to the timing of the games.
Option two is superior to option one as it actually attempts to address some of the inherent fixes in the fixture.
Option three is where it gets really interesting.
Play all teams once, plus rivalry round and gather round, which gives you the first 20.
And then it's off to a group stage.
The top 16 are drawn into four groups and play three more games.
Now, either this is evenly split or the top eight are already qualified for finals and jockey for position in their two groups, while the next eight jockey for the two remaining wildcard tickets.
Then we hit the eight-week final series.
The bottom three play among themselves.
There's an elegance to this, a three-week runoff to the five-week final series.
The risk would be repetition, but the best against the best for more games works.
And option four is for the radicals.
We play the perfectly structured Premiership season for the modern era.
18 rivals once, then gather round and rivalry rounds, and onto a five-week final series.
This, for me, is nirvana.
That's as good a fixture as we can get for the future of the AFL season.
That's my clear preference.
