It's time to find more win's in footy. The day's of having only one winner each season, only one team seen as having a successful year needs to change. We need to open up the landscape and celebrate the many other teams who have had a great season. I suggest that the finalist teams (8 in the AFL... or whatever your competition has in local, state, talent competitions) should all be celebrated for great seasons. Times are changing, it's 2024 and after hearing that this is a legitimate discussion at AFL house and the need to find more things to celebrate. I have put together my simple suggestion about enhancing what is already in front of us - finalist teams. Have a listen, would love to hear your thoughts.
