With the unfortunate but necessary postponement of the AFL season for at least 60 days, it's been decided that we will run a simulated AFL season using the Qooty program created by the legendary Mobbs.
If you are familiar with the Sweet FA, which has had a few Tour games here, then you will know what this program is. If not, then please have a gander at the thread posted on the main board.

The Lions first match is the Queensland Derby against the Suns, and you can find the match thread here:

It will be posted on Sunday at 3pm AEDT
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.
We are looking for someone to coach the Lions team. The coach should be a regular, respected poster on the Lions board, who is responsible for discussing the team with the board for each game and naming that team in the match preview threads on the Main AFL Board. There will also be other expectations on the coach, such as starting the preview threads when the Lions are the Home team.
For round 1 we will just use the named teams (minus two from the bench, as Qooty only needs 20 players) from round 1.
I hope that you are curious enough to take a look at the game, either in progress at the advertised time or read the text afterwards. Can interested people please advise me if they wish to fulfill the role of Coach?
Thanks
AB
