Richmond to go undefeated.

The lowest average crowd recorded in a H&A round this century.

The lowest crowd in an MCG match this century.

High profile player to miss a large chunk of the season due to mental health reasons, return for finals.

Two draws in the same weekend (after none in 2019), or one draw and one nail-biter.

Brad Scott to officially be appointed the AFL spokesman for one PC / 'social' cause or another.

Some AFLW player to get married to some AFL player from another club. Both delisted at end of season.

Brenton Speed to get the recognition he deserves as the best caller in the game today (despite being a soccer / league man).

Bigfooty to enjoy its first season of visitor growth in six years, after facebook bans almost all white men for posting memes.
 
Don’t sweat the technicalities

Just look at these
1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980

One of these numbers is not like the others.
Regardless of what’s technically correct it’s silly to call 1980 a part of the 1970s decade.
1979 is a prime number ;) (but you're right)
 
Gil will be forced to resign due to a scandal with one of his staff.

Brisbane to miss top 6 even with an easy draw.

West Coast to play Richmond in the grand final and win.

Gold Coast to be the first winless team in a VFL/AFL season since 1964. Not because they'll any worse than this year but it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a fellow inhabitant of the AFL underclass within their reach.

I've been thinking about fixturing tweaks the AFL can do to make it a bit easier on them but I just can't see a nailed-on possible win in the first month to give them. Fremantle at Metricon? Demons at Metricon?

So the fixture definitely gives them a good shot at early wins. Port, Swans, Demons and Crows all at home in the first 7 rounds. If they start the 0-7 then it's on for sure.

Richmond fans will adopt a humble approach in 2020

Tigers to nearly drown drinking their own bath-water and be 3-8 mid season, to then slightly recover and just make the 8, only to be belted by the Dogs in the 1st elimination final...
