I presume you have made the mistake of assuming each team plays 29 games this season??!

There are 29 Rounds, but each team only plays 26 games + 3 byes.

The Nix for example are playing 10 teams twice, and Auckland plus the Victory (incl Unite Round) thrice. Total 26 games.

Why do people keep saying we won't have 3 derbies if Canberra joins? (which at this rate they probably never will but that's a whole other discussion). Playing 13 teams h&a is only 26 games, even unite round only makes it 27. That's less rounds than what we're playing this season.

If the goal is to get everyone playing more games then would they get rid playing other teams 3x a season? especially when there's so much money involved from derbies. Between the Melbourne, Sydney and NZ derbies the smallest game was 20,093 between city and vic at the start of the season.

Ik this is a side tangent but it's just weird to me that people keep assuming we'll do away with the extra games once (if) Canberra arrives
