2012 Byes

[syl]

Well this is going to be fun again!

From the following article: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...aw-snippets-20111019-1m76s.html#ixzz1bBpgzuT3

"Rounds 11-12-13 in mid-year will see 6 matches in each of those rounds, compared to normal 9 matches, with 6 clubs havng a bye in each round."

Thats ok. Better than having one club a week over the course of the season. There just wont be any games these rounds and league games will start from Round 1.

Good result if we have to have byes IMO.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

There won't be room for a break in league games if leagues are expanded to 18 players as expected.

 

[Ed D]

If leagues get expanded to 18 how will the finals work? A top 8 and then a bottom 10?

We'll find out I guess.

I look forward to the challenge. It gives those of us who spend significant time thinking about SC a chance to come up with some tactics/strategies to make best use of it.

The interesting part is that it comes at a period of the year when most of us have just finished or are are making our last few cash cows downgrades/upgrade to guns.

agreed, i think it adds something, especially for those going for overall. those premiums with a slightly earlier bye (rd11 vs rd13) might be a little more tempting when upgrading during this period. Will create a, do i get player a in rd 12 when he's had his bye, or get player b, who is slightly better, after his bye in rd12/13. could be interesting and add a little variety to teams.
