Club Histories

Having 8 of the 13 teams playing off in the finals is top heavy. Perhaps there should only be a final 6. What are other people's thoughts?

A question for some of the more knowledgable about the competitions history... According to the official history (VFL website) Essendon A/Town (the Dreadnaughts) amalgamated with North Melbourne in 1922, however the VFA history book written by Marc Fiddian makes no mention of this, and says that the club disbanded in 1921. The Kangaroos website makes no mention of it either. Was there a merger in 1922 between the two clubs?
