Does this mean you'll never watch another game of football on TV/Fox again? 
I'm curious though, what's the beef with Murdoch or Newscorp?

Thanks for your contributions across the years to the Supercoach game here at SCS. It has been much appreciated.
You'll leave your reasons private, however you won't be leaving an unambiguous direction to follow or your feelings on the matter. Every game is broadcast on Foxtel, and therefore paid for by Foxtel, so I understand from your post you will not watch any AFL game under the current telecast agreement and nor should any that agree with you.
I refused to watch any games after Brent Harvey had a free kick against before a bounce for a minor incident in around round 18. I didn't watch the final round of games or the finals until the Grand Final.
So, I get boycotting.
It's tough to stay true.
Stay true!

I haven't checked, I presume it is the same for Supercoach?

THE RESCHEDULING of the annual St Kilda v Port Adelaide game in China has thrown a spanner in the works for AFL Fantasy coaches.
Bye rounds add an extra challenge for coaches playing in leagues with settings for bye rounds being on and those hunting the overall title.
The three multi-bye rounds (round 12, 13 and 14) have been shaken up as the Saints-Power game is now set to be played in round 12, when they were initially scheduled to have their bye on return from the game overseas. The clubs will have a standalone bye in round 11.
Fantasy coaches will need to think about their team structure and the best way to manage this change. There are some positives for the change.
Fantasy Classic
Multi-bye round rules state that coaches have three trades to use and the best-18 on-field scorers will count. This will be in place for rounds 12-14, but the new Saints/Power bye in round 11 will remain as normal; two trades and best 22.
If you have any St Kilda or Port Adelaide players in your team, you will need to either trade them out or place them on your bench for the week.
This is likely to cause ownership of some players to drop as coaches will be unwilling to take some premium players in knowing they'll have a bye earlier than the rest of the clubs.
Value selections will be an exception here. Max King (FWD) and Dylan Roberton (DEF) have hopefully gained their cash by that time and you could upgrade them.
Dan Houston (DEF/MID) could cause some selection issues as 39 per cent of the competition have picked him as a possible under-priced premium who would been seen as a 'keeper' for the year.
Essentially, most high-scoring Saints and Power players could be seen as upgrade targets following the round 11 bye.
Coaches will be looking to pick multiple players from these teams when they use their three trades as they will play through the challenging rounds 12-14 period. With the opportunity to play in all three games, while every other player in the competition will miss at least one of the matches, may help gain a few extra points with some tactical trading.
St Kilda and Port Adelaide players will be like Fantasy gold throughout the bye rounds.

Cats have been fined $40K for breaching the salary cap.

Sounds like they got off lightly if it has happened over 8 years.

It doesn't really say the breached the cap itself, just the TPP rules... make of that what you will... you would think that if they'd exceeded the cap by a certain amount that should be disclosed but it hasn't, they've just said they breached the reporting rules... $40k would be light if it was anything other than just reporting stuff incorrectly
