Re-seed AFL Wildcard winners into the Elimination Finals
The two Wildcard Round winners were crossed into the Elimination Finals by
which game they came out of — the 7v10 winner always met 6th and the 8v9
winner always met 5th. The AFL pairs those games by ladder position, as the
classic final eight pairs 5v8 and 6v7: the higher host draws the
lower-ranked survivor. So when 10th wins through, 5th should meet 10th, not
the 8v9 winner.

Placement now resolves both games together. A 7v10 winner is placed as soon
as it is decided (7th outranks either possible opponent, 10th is outranked
by both), while an 8v9 winner is held until the other game is decided rather
than being placed and later moved, so results can be entered in either
order.

The simulator paired the Elimination Finals the same fixed way, which biased
every projection that ran off an undecided Wildcard Round; it now re-seeds
too.
