The thing with Fitzroy happened during first WW, not WWII.
Personally, I like the finals system because it creates excitement and you get the climatic ending to it all. Of course the best side doesn't always win, but the attitude is that it's all about playing well when it matters. This year in the NRL the Melbourne Storm dominated the season, ended up with the best record ever after a season, then lost the big one when it mattered. Shit happens. The problem with the top team being given the championship is that if 1 team is 5 games clear at the end with 3 rounds left, then interest is lost because nobody is interested.
I'm into entertainment rather than fairness, so I like the idea of finals.
