More chaos

 

[MITS]

I hate SC and each year I threaten to not play again.

On that note. Can't wait for SC 2021

I hate bi-polar. It’s awesome

I used to be indecisive. But I'm not sure about that anymore.

Too early for a 2021 planning thread?

Yep ....still plenty of suffering left in this season

 

[Silky23]

Hmmm, no byes that round (sir doug nicholls round). AFL already stated no byes for rounds 17 and 18.

Leaving Rounds 14-16 as only available weeks for the byes. 4-4-2 split as a minimum. Yikes

This is really disappointing. No Byes. Would have liked 2-2-2-4 split. SuperCoach finals disaster.

AFLPA has given in principle support for another festival of footy Rounds 13-16, waiting on injury data.

Byes during SuperCoach finals kills my enthusiasm for SC this season to be honest. I'm well off the pace overall and am likely to finish 5th-8th in my cash league. The prospect of having a knock out final decided by a byes structure that none of us could have planned for is really deflating.

I know this situation couldn't have been avoided though.

FoxFooty said that the AFL are 'planning' to have another condensed fixture during rounds 13-16.

The chaos isn't finished yet.

That should guarantee more trades.

 

[mochacinolatte]

Sideway mania!

I assume another 4 addtional trades + 3 trades per round. Yum.

 

[Oscarman]

Byes in SC finals are a ****ing disaster waiting to happen.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Not super keen on more trades... maybe just 2. if they give us another 4, almost everyone will end up with the same team

Wouldn't that be an advantage to teams like yours who are already in the top 20?

Doubt it, can't have 600k premos in each spot lmao

probably, but i still dont think they should give that many. It also disadvantages those that have held trades (I'm not one of these people).

Although, if they give us more means i cant piss off Lunch meat, so im coming around to the idea haha

Your team like most others lacks bench depth, you're going to want every one of the extra trades they give us when facing doughnuts.

But that prob wont matter as much if they do this 2nd condensed fixture as most of the remaining rounds could then be bye rounds.

I have so many dead rookies that I still had to make 3 trades just to get 20 starters for this round and 7 of those were rookies so i'm still going to end up with 3-4 terrible scores in my best 18. Can't rely on Oliepig to save my round with a 200+ every week. Need those extra trades to sideways premo's who have upcoming byes. Most of the rookies we trade in won't even be in their teams starting 22 for more than 2-3 weeks. Will be lucky to get 1-2 price rises out of them.

I have good depth because I went for a few value picks and have been given value scores. You cant win in this game.

So the MELB / ESS match won't be treated as a bye ......it will be played

AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has revealed there is likely to be another condensed fixture block on the horizon.
Rounds 14-16 is set to be played in a similar fashion to the ‘football frenzy’ between Rounds 9-12 with the final round of matches to be scheduled in the traditional Thursday-Sunday time slots.

The rescheduled match between Essendon and Melbourne will be played at some point between Rounds 14-16 after the initial Round 3 encounter was postponed in June.
“This is the emerging view hot off the press. It’s going to be worked through with clubs and the Players’ Association,” McLachlan told 3AW.
