17 Round Season
Every one plays everyone else once (if it happens at all). That means a new fixture.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: 17 Round Season
That means some teams get 8 home games and some get 7.
It will be interesting how they balance out interstate trips and will the high drawing clubs like Collingwood still be favoured when there are empty stadiums?
Will private planes be used to transport players?

Re: 17 Round Season
The whole thing is a sh*tshow at this point, should just call it all off.

Re: 17 Round Season
For everyone but your fellow boomers
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
But that’s irrelevant, as the extreme measures put in place have taken it out of the AFL’s hands. One positive test and they’ll shut the whole things down, which is 100% going to happen. Then for how long? Nobody knows.
Also, no need to stalk my every post. Your obsession with me is getting a bit of a ‘Single White Female’ vibe

Last warning to you. I can call up a dozen articles that say "okay boomer "is an insulting term. More than happy to let the mods decide if I'm correct too.

How about your constant stalking and baiting? Lucky reporting people isn’t my style.
I guess I just have thicker skin.
How about you STOP quoting my every post? I’m not the one constantly seeking your posts out.
And also STOP derailing threads with your obsession with me. I can imagine it’s quite annoying for others.
If you’re so upset, just ignore me, like I ignore you. Simple.

Re: 17 Round Season
What utter over reactive bullsh*t!
I see the NRL are proceeding with closed doors, better than slashing the season.
It appears from reports, that AFL players are been dictated to by their Union regarding pay cuts and shortening of the season.
I would suggest that the players insist they're available for 22 H/A games and they're not taking a pay cut. If they're Union doesn't agree they could resign from their Union and make it irrelevant.
The Government can only sustain these measures for 4 to 6 weeks maximum. If it goes on longer the economy will be annihilated.
Yet could we expect anything but haphazard incompetence from Gilligan and the AFL Commission!

Re: 17 Round Season
The AFL aren’t on their own with this, every major sports league around the world is postponed or cancelled. Trying to tac together a season between who knows how many breaks will be a disaster. The season will have no legitimacy.

Re: 17 Round Season
Nope. No matter what Andrew or Tracey have told you, what I’ve said re the virus is 100% fact. And the good thing about facts is that they’re true whether you believe them or not.saynta wrote: ↑Tue 17 Mar 2020 1:43pmPointing out how wrong you were about this virus seems to have upset you Chuck.

Re: 17 Round Season
Well for mine I've always thought it made more sense for every team to play each other team once. Pity its taken a pandemic for such a sensible fixture to prevail!
