Haha, the main problem is not the equipment, it's the mind.

The AFL is looking at the possibility of shorter breaks between games to enable a few extra matches to be squeezed in over coming weeks, then having a break in the lead up to finals. Can see a lot of players being rested if this fixture squeeze happens.

Maybe we should get an extra trade for those rounds.

The whole idea of another break is insane IMO, unless forced. Players lose conditioning and soft tissue injuries tend to rise as a result. I really hope this is knocked on the head quickly.

I saw what Gerard Whateley was proposing on how it might look on AFL 360... Footy every single day of the week!!

Would surely mean every round over that period is Best 18.

Hope this doesn't happen, not a fan of footy taking over everything. Need a break between rounds.

Nothing. All the teams are already out of Victoria, is she closes the border to NSW however, then chaos ensues

This is going to get messy for SC... How do they define each round heading forward?

We'll probably end up with BBL style format if that eventuates. Best 18 with just 2 trades a round and the inevitable resting/injuries are going to decimate everyone's team at some point.

Donuts will have to be expected as par for the course and the good coaches will keep building their teams. Donuts are never nice but even during a normal year I think coaches panic way too much trying to avoid a donut.

Different year, have a bit of fun, don’t overthink it.

Exactly

work with the fixtures we have and wait for the announcement

Agree with the others above, sounds like BBL to me. Basically requires significantly more focus on ST fixture nuances and much less on building towards full premo. Takes some adjusting to, but not that hard with good advice.

Surprised that Hawk hasn't kicked more at Kardinia - 562 for his career. Geelong playing in Melbourne?

That's an impressive list for Selwood to head, albeit narrowly ... 25.3 touches and 5.2 tackles on average. Short games this year won't help.
