A conference or pool system, would solve that, play your pool of 4 (5 including you) then everyone else then your pool again, this would create an instant rivalry with teams in your pool, and reason to be playing them twice, and make those dead rubbers near end of season more intense
20 teams = 23 rounds... 8 inhouse pool games, 15 outhouse pool games, add a magic round for an even 24 rounds, 12 home 12 away, let the broadcasters choose the magic round line ups, top 2 from each conference enters finals

That actually sold me on the Conference idea- stops the new season draw wankfest without loosing home and away games against a feature rival. Just lining up the conferences would be another can of worms if the debate in here is anything to go by….

Not really if it's 4 pools like, you just segregate them by which one is furthest away and add the closest teams, eg.
Pool1 = PNG plus Cows, Bronx, Phins, Tans
Pool2 = Storm plus Raiders, Drags, Soufs, Sharks,
Pool3 = Bears plus Riff, Eels, Tigers, Dawgs
Pool4 = Wahs plus Nz2, Chooks, Manly, Nites
