And here I was thinking that because the community series only had one round we'd only see teams out once... but there is a round of 'practice' matches as well.

I wonder if SC points will be available for both?

I don't think Champion Data will be covering the practice matches. I'll check with my mate who works for CD though.
You'd be surprised, but some teams don't even pay for the entire catalogue of stats on offer from CD, so can't see teams paying to have CD cover a practice game.

A good time to become a member of the best club.

I reckon some players would buy it themselves *cough* Tom Mitchell *cough*

Is this outdated, talk from Ryan Daniels Perth teams having a derby for AAMI series now. AFL site not showing it though.

The schedule was correct at the time of posting so not sure if that has changed since.
There is a derby for the practice round, could Daniels be referring to that instead of the AAMI series...?

 

[Herbie66]

Crows & Power are playing each other twice now , so suspect that is the case for the 2 WA teams as well.

Appreciate it was correct and still is per AFL site. Daniels referenced they are playing each other two weeks in a row, Adelaide Power games cancelled. Maybe they were worried about borders and being interstate if there is an outbreak.

AFL logic... spend millions trying to grow the sport in QLD including throwing the traditional football states under the bus to play a GF at a half empty trash stadium and then ban those teams from letting their fans watch their games in any way or form...

Agree, even going through some team websites, it's obvious that most of the content is AFLW, understand they're promoting it, but makes it difficult trying to find afl mens content.

Hawks v Dogs kicking off at 10:30am today - these member only streams are harsh on hard core SCers! Looking forward to reports from any of our hawks and dogs members who get the chance to watch

Dunkley likely to dominate the praccy then and pique the interest of a few.

If anyone wants to watch the Hawks/Dogs match about to start. Unfortunately I have meetings for the next two hours...

First centre bounce had McEvoy v Stef Martin in ruck.

Bont, Dunkley and Libba v Worpel, JOM and Breust in the middle.
