Hoping this will become a ONE-STOP thread for all things useful to help you navigate through the AFL season.

It will be run by the Leadership Group and if you see something worthy of adding into it please PM one of us ....

Looking to initially incorporate things such as the H&A fixture, order of games, fixture difficulty analysis, ruck draw analysis, etc.

Yet to come throughout the season as it it unfolds:

- my rookie tracker of games played
- Top 20 weekly team updates
- weekly positional line updates with BE's included
- whatever else I come up with this year ...

My home and away fixture that I've used the same format for years now:

- lower case teams mean a "home" game although some teams play them interstate
- Also are my abbreviations for what day / time of the day they play according to game start time ...
- Ie. Saturday (Sa), Sunday (Su) etc and morning (M), afternoon (A) or night (N) ...

I'm sure different versions will appear over due course ...

Edit: amended for the Round 11 bye for PTA and STK

My order of games played schedule according to AEDT game start times:

- Yellow shaded background means two games starting at the same time

I'm also sure different versions will also appear over due course ...

My overview of each team taking into account:

- What days / time slots they are scheduled to play (looking for VC / C and general loophole options)
- Last year H & A top / bottom opponents (used top 5 this year)
- Game day breaks between games
- Interstate games to be played regardless of whether it is a scheduled home game or not

Courtesy of @freowho ....

Basic description provided:

- It depicts the top dozen or so (sorry, can't remember exactly how many) 2020 listed MID players scoring compared to their average in 2019 against specific opposition

- Injury affected games have been removed and only Dunkley has been included after his move to the midfield

- This creates the summaries on the right for opposition difficulty
- A minus is how many points below their average and positive is how many points above their average.

- It is then applied to this years draw. Ie. Melbourne have 4 tough teams in the first 7 rounds.

Below is a summary of relevant Rookies who took part in the Marsh Series Community matches. Those highlighted in YELLOW are my predicted possible R1 starters based on their %TOG, obviously there may be some R1 bolters who we haven't seen but that's not a bad thing.

Carrying on from last year here is the Round 1 update of the players owned within the Top 20 teams ....

Hopefully this may assist some of us as we endeavour to craft our way onwards and upwards for the remainder of the season.

Notes:
- Non-playing players greyed out and players that got injuries this round in red text for ease of viewing
- Also included is total points and points behind leader for subsequent teams.
- No "observations" yet have been added for this week due to the extended break ...
