I actually think it's both a legitimate premiership and an asterick year.
We have each team playing each other at least once and a finals and grand final based on qualified merit to decide the flag.
But I think the season is so extremely different to usual that the year should have an asterisk something like *adjusted season due to COVID19. This acknowledges the season break, shortened games and quarters, hubs, etc.
Why not both? I think they are both valid.
Correct. I think the premiership is legitimate, but its so different from any other year in AFL that it should be noted. *COVID adjusted season. That would be enough for me to capture it, we know what that entailed.This actually sounds similar to what my university did during the spring (North America) semester. They put a mark on my transcript stating I faced "extenuating circumstances (COVID-19)," but gave me the grades and credit hours I earned, and awarded my master's degree like normal. In a way, it could be argued that the team that wins will have earned its flag through similar extenuating circumstances.
No offense, but if this year is an asterisk year then 1996, 1999, 2002 and 2004 should be asterisk years as well with that stupid MCG rulingAsterisk Year
No crowds to speak of and no Grand Final at the MCG.
The asterisk isn't to diminish a flag, its not the same as those, an asterisk which I've supported and still support for 2020 is just to acknowledge the multiple significant differences of *COVID adjusted season. Thats enough to capture what is the most unique year in AFL history. It doesn't have to diminish a premier.No offense, but if this year is an asterisk year then 1996, 1999, 2002 and 2004 should be asterisk years as well with that stupid MCG ruling
WTF, how so!?Now an asterix year
It would have had a big * next to it if Brisbane won it.How could you justify an asterisk beside it, it was undoubtedly the toughest year for all concerned ... but in the end the result was the same as in 2019. Richmond were premiers.
The best team in 2019 was still the best team in 2020.
Legitimate, illigetimate, gifted, earned, I don't mind. Any premiership we can win I'll take.The fact that the AFL actively embraces the amount of disadvantages and inequality between clubs during a regular season, the fact that the 2020 season was almost entirely neutral with sharing neutral grounds and hubs its almost the most legitamate premiership of the last few decades.
