Like it or not, it's here to stay.
With Tasmania coming in, and probably a twentieth team not far behind...it's probably fair enough that half the competition gets a crack at the end.
I liken it to the Repechage in Olympic rowing and other sports, a 2nd chance to make the finals.

Yep
It is that, but down the track it will just be the "first week of finals".
Make the 10 and you play on.

Already some commentators are referring to our position as making the finals

Assuming both teams are legit and having a real crack, I would value a win over Freo next week more than a wild card victory against a flaky outfit like the Bulldogs.

The AFL considers it a final...

Its a final. The AFL says its a final. It will count as a final. Whoever said it wasn't a final?
Its always been a final.
