Prediction 2020 AFL Season Simulation on the MB - Sydney Team

Hey all,

So while we've got no footy for the next 10 weeks Chief , SFA Admin Ant Bear and co. have put together a simulation of the 17 round AFL season using a program called Qooty. You may have seen something like it in SFA tour games or that time sataris did a preview thread vs the Bye.

Source:

As a tl;dr, Qooty is a completely random football simulator. What we are going to do is use real player names and simulate the 17 round AFL season.
Each week there will be 2 rounds, complete with match threads for banter against opposition fans. At this stage it seems these threads will just be in the main board but that may change.
At the end, there will be a Brownlow Medallist and Coleman Medallist as well as a Norm Smith medallist.

So what they're looking for is a team each week, some changes if need we see fit. In this universe, Franklin is always fit, and we even bring back Dean Towers* if we want to. If you want your best 20 to have a run around then suggest it in here and I'll submit it to those running the concept.

For Round 1, the teams used were the real Round 1 teams minus 2 on the bench (since Qooty only requires 20 players) and the game will be posted in here:

If you have any questions shoot away.

*may not be allowed but I'll see what we can get away with

One person riot involving just you?

Deano is a fan favourite around here.

Golly. No need to go all Carlton fan on us.

Deano tried his heart out, was athletic but completely void of footy IQ. Some have questioned whether he controls your account.

How about Maxfield and Schwass, a couple of handy left footers who could pierce the big sticks from 60m on the run ?
