From Mitch Cleary X
Should a Wildcard win count as a ‘finals’ win?
The AFL is calling it ‘Wildcard Finals Round’… describing it as “an expanded finals series.”
Eg - if Essendon finishes 9th in 2026 and win to progress to the top-eight, is their finals drought over?

Just my opinion but the above points out what a farcical situation it could become
