Hope Shai is back this week to fill Impey's shoes. Even if he is I'll still have to field Rowe (against tiges) or Watermano_O unless I upgrade in forward line.

Are you referring to your post or the article in the Herald Sun?

The article states that it won't be played in the NT this weekend.

The AFL are considering:
1. Shifting the game to the Gold Coast, to be played this weekend.
2. Postponing the game, until next weekend (round 12). Thus, shifting the teams' byes from round 12 to round 11.
3. Investigating alternative fixturing.
Depending on the announcements on lockdowns tomorrow we could see all vic teams boot to NSW for a short period

If it is best 18 there doesn't seem much point trading this week as it will just be battle of the rookies for the 18th score. Especially with Titch and Touk available next week. Apologies to those who might have both. Touk just became more popular.
But trades that improve your team this week will still be there next week, and you can improve your team again then. Why stall your progress?

Footy Classified tonight might have some more details.
With a full snap lockdown the 3 melbourne games might be in danger. So a quick exit to NSW is easiest as they won't shut the border. Don't think we will hear much until we know lockdown details. After 2 weeks in NSW teams would then be able to move freely around Australia. Could end up quite significant

KFC SuperCoach will go ahead this weekend with modified rules to factor in changes to the AFL fixture for Round 11.

The AFL announced late on Tuesday that the Hawthorn v Gold Coast match scheduled for Saturday night won’t go ahead due to Victoria’s new COVID-19 crisis.

The Hawks and Suns will now have a bye this weekend.

As a result KFC SuperCoach will revert to best 18 scoring for Round 11.

During a hectic 2020 season the same rule was adopted any time there is fewer than nine games played in a round.

Under Best 18 rules only a team’s highest 18 scores count towards your tally for the round. These scores must come from active players — bench scores don’t count unless they are emergencies covering for a zero on the field.

There are no extra trades at this stage.

I agree with the premise. Many years ago I traded Roughy in to my team during his bye because I knew I would be 1 premo ahead of all those who were waiting. But even with Impey out I still have 18 keepers plus Flynn, Jordan, Collier-Dawkins and Poulter who can score not far behind a keeper so there is little benefit this week. I'm also not much worse off next week and can bring in Titch and/or Touk. I then have some slingshots planned for rnd13 and 14. I've been lucky this year with Dunkley my only forced trade.
I haven't done any calculations but feel I could gain more through the byes then I could this week if it is best 18.
Edit: Just realised I still can't use Flynn.

So irritated that this has happened.

Just that game.

Means everyone who hasn't got Mitchell or miller can just play their best squad this week... And then trade one of them in and have a player that plays through all the byes... While those that have them will miss out on a week of points.

Pretty big disadvantage if they choose to play 22 and not 18
On the flip side, those of us who do have one of Titch/Miller can grab the other one next week and be loaded for the byes.
