17 Round Season

Post: # 1842350Post Jacks Back »

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.”

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?

The whole thing is a sh*tshow at this point, should just call it all off.

Trump's advocating a 'gathering limit' of 10 people.

Should Schlomo follow suit, we'll be stuck with 5 a side!

For everyone but your fellow boomers :)

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 :shock:

And for the last time, I am not a boomer.

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.

Lol, last warning? How typical. This coming from the king of the insult, nickname and rollyeyes.

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.

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!

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.

Correct- Italy, a nation of 60 million, has stopped its soccer league (Serie A)

Pointing out how wrong you were about this virus seems to have upset you Chuck. Thin skinned I would say, and pot kettle black re the stalking and insults. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Post rubbish, then expect to get called out.

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.

I’m happy to have back and forths, doesn’t bother me, but this is a public forum and I doubt others appreciate you constantly stalking my posts an derailing threads.

PM me if you’re so desperate to chat (where you also can’t hide behind teacher), but show some respect for other forumites.

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!

I’ll be surprised if we make it all the way through the first.
