Keep 16 teams
Each team plays each other ONCE
After 15 rounds, then top 10 commense on and the bottom 6 drop out.
The remain teams play each other once more.
Then Final 5.
Great idea!!! Bottom teams drops out so that there are no freebies ie those teams lucky to play the Dogs twice and also those games with cellar-dwellers are so irrelevant and boring. By the halfway mark through the season we would know the teams that have no hope and save themselve the humiliation.
Few things building on from Mases ideas. Instead of bottom 6 have bottom 4 teams to drop out this to give the clubs who are struggling but still a chance a shot plus some teams improves in the second half of the seasons.
Then the 12 teams play each other once. Then the final 8 series. I think we should keep the final 8 format as it is. This works out to be 15+11=26 premiership games which is 4 weeks longer then the current format but we could do away with pre-season.
Your thoughts people. Good idea? Bad idea and why? Good idea but could improve and how?
