So the new rules for 2020 are:

[Bigeasy]

1. Playing in front of no crowds
2. Quarters reduced by 4 minutes
3. Season reduced to 17 games.

Back us for the flag, finally some rule changes that will benefit us

do we drop a mid from the rotations?
interesting

 

[Billy Not Really]

I get the feeling history will regard as whoever wins the flag (Should we even make it that far into the season) will forever be regarded as a tainted flag win.

Haha. So question: Will the premiership this year be counted as “real” or kind of like winning the preseason comp?

 

[The Nostradamus]

But don’t we usually peak after round 11? Now only 6 games in our peak period

Or will we finally start a year strong

 

[Hojuman]

Reckon they should go the whole hog.

16 on the field. 6 on the bench.

Flag will only be tainted if North, GWS or GC win it.

Yeh, well I'll take that tainted flag all the same thank you.

Starvation will do that to ya.

Only if
1) The Grand Final is played before an empty stadium
2) If the season is shortened any further than it already has.
3) Someone other than North wins

 

[DuckYeah]

It should be regarded as the most purest and parity flag in the history of AFL.. playing everyone once? Thats as fair as it can get..

Bullshit. With all the background noise this could be spun into a 'Remember the Titans' type story.

With the world falling down around them, one team, against all the odds, rose up and triumphed in the face of adversity!

You're back brother.

Let's get special dispensation to list Ben Lennon (above) under the SPP and take this club back to where it belongs.

For me, it wouldn’t be tainted. Same rules for everybody. Winner of the GF takes the chocolates. If anything, it should be seen as “unique”, rather than tainted. It will likely be all moot because they’ll have to pull the plug soon enough. The best the AFL can realistically hope for is to complete the AFLW.

The 1.5m social distancing should really suit JMac's tackling style. And NMFC players worried about catching any germs from touching the ball will be relieved when they see Luke McDonald kicking it.

Except for playing everyone twice, home and away.

No more going missing late in the quarters, I like it!

The Premiership Cup will be made of plastic, half the size and only have 1 handle!

 

[DEVO]

Coughing is an automatic two week suspension.

 

[Event Horizon]

One rule that would help is to limit the players used in 2020 to 28.
Our depth is shite.

fitzroy once won the flag from last place in a 4 team season. footy persisted through both world wars and no one's ever tried to take those flags away.

How's Fitzroy doing now?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Why shorter quarters?

 

[Hojuman]

Why shorter quarters?

Coz teams may be having short turn arounds of 4 / 5 days.

what happened to fitzroy in the 1990s has absolutely nothing to do with happened to fitzroy in the 1910s. what are you talking about
