Junior finals bias

Personally, I think a finals team should get a home game and would love to see the grand final day rotated around the clubs so that all clubs can showcase what they have got.

It is not un-common that a number of sports have a central "main arena" and have a tenant based in that arena to stop it from gathering dust. In the case of basketball, that stadium appears to be Wayville and the lucky club is West Torrens (aka Forestville)

The benefit of being the tenant is that being central one can attract participants from all points of the compass.

Bugbear, while there are some on this forum who will never agree with you, there is a natural built in bias as a result of having a "main arena" and tenant situation that cannot be easily overcome. Injustice is a part of the world in which we live - we have to accept it.

Here, here.

So, why would you not permit member clubs to rotate in the hosting of finals in order that any perceived or actual bias be removed?

Can I suggest the following.

What a lot of country footy leagues do is to rotate the final series each year. Regardless of who is playing. The same could be done here.

Let's say the following rotations:

Year 1: North & Centrals
Year 2: West & Woodville
Year 3: Norwood & Mavs
Year 4: Southern & South
Year 5: Sturt & Forestville

Or does that provide too much balance to the competition?
