What Actually Happened: Part I

So I mentioned that I was planning on  having my AFL alignment simulated. This is only the first half.

The Evolution of the Ladder, 1987-2000
 During the five team finals years, the McIntyre 5 System is used (87-90). With a six team finals, the McIntyre 6 System is used from the 1991 season until the 2010 season. To illustrate: Elimination Finals - 6@3, 5@4; Semifinals - 6@4/5 {or} 4/5@3 (SF2), 2@1 (SF1); Preliminary Finals - SF2 winner@SF1 loser; Grand Final, PF winner@SF winner.

Finals Evolutionary Scale - The team on top of the pairing is home
Before the St. Kilda Swans merger, the two teams involved won in the two preceding seasons with Sydney winning in 1996 and the Saints in 1997. The Carlton Kangaroos are the most successful team in the era shown above, despite having lost most of their seven banners with the back to back Premierships in 1994 and '95.
