I also dont care too much about $$$ from TV rights. That is not my priority how much players are paid. Take cricket for example. The ACB are patting themselves on the back for the new $1.2b TV rights deal, but the only impact to me is that I couldnt watch the ODI last week. So for me, the deal is poorer.
Playing 17 rounds, each team once, is easy. Even make it that H&A venue is swapped every year.
The next 5 rounds should just be rivalry rounds. Pick the matches that make sense. Derbies is an easy 1 game. Maybe even 2 games(?!)
4 other rounds can be figured out just by which combinations make the most interest. This will also go a little way to avoid tanking.
Lets not pretend that equality is even in the top 10 of AFL concerns.
Suggested draw for Swans last five rounds
1) v GWS (either SCG or spotless depending on who hosted in 1st 17 rounds)
2) v West Coast
3) v Saints
4) v Pies
5) v GWS (Canberra)
