The closeness of this comp is highlighted every year. There's next to no reward for finishing first or second, compared to those who might scrape in for fourth. Although with one leg this year it will mean only first and second will get a home semi, it's still just one game of football. No second chances.

I don't know if it will change, but it's definitely something that should be discussed at seasons end, in preparation for next season and beyond.

Furthermore, it would bring back a fairer playing field for the lower grades. Currently it all just goes off first grade, so home and away legs are irrelevant. Sometimes they are in reverse due to finishing positions of other grades, which is just confusing. Going to minor/major finals series again makes it a lot more rewarding for finishing top 2.
