Its probably the only way Perth and Peel will ever play in a final.

History shows now that 4th placed teams rarely go on and win a flag let alone a 5th placed team.
There was barely any interest in the finals this season an extra game isnt going to increase any more interest.
Theres already a reward for finishing top of the ladder,a home final.
I dont think the top team would like 2 byes in 3 weeks by finishing top of the ladder,bye the first week and another bye if it wins the second semi with a potential 3rd bye if the top team is scheduled for a home and away season bye in the last game.That would make it 2 weeks of NO footy before they play the second semi.

Keep it as a final 4.
