There is an asterix on the 2020 premiership

[blaisee]

There is an asterix on the 2020 premiership team , but it isn’t what you think.

the 2020 flag team is worth 2 flags not 1.

All AFL teams have had to endure unprecedented challenges in their quest for the 2020 flag .

Playing 4 games in 2 weeks , flying in and out of games on the same day.

living away from their families and staying in hubs for more than 100 days

no flag will be harder won ever .

 

[Jaeger]

Fair points, but your thread would be more credible if you posted it before your team made the GF.

 

[threesixpio]

Not a proper season. If Tiges win, one cannot properly say it’s a B2B flag in my view. Perhaps the AFL should clarify this

 

[LoungeLizard]

Yep, 2 premierships if you win this one.

But reductions for covid infractions.

5 points for each premiership, -1 point per infraction, -5 points for each person sent home.

No it's ******* not, because your chances are still effectively 1/18. Your 17 opponents have to face roughly the same s**t you do. Now, if every other team got to live without Coronavirus and you had to suffer with it, THEN the flag would be worth two.

 

[gingernuts]

the history book says it is b2b.It is like saying VFL b2b dont count. A win is a win, you can only deal with the circumstances of the time.

That would require blaisee not to be a pathetic troll though.

 

[Haggard H]

There's no asterisk either way no matter who wins - 18 teams, one premier, same as every year (well, since 2012 at least).

Some clubs may have done it harder than others in 2020, and the Tigers could have a case, but that just highlights the MCG grand final deal every other year.

 

[MJG14]

This asterix?

Clubs didnt face roughly the same s**t.

Half a dozen had an easy run, half a dozen had an average run, half a dozen had a horrible run.

Half a dozen had an easy run, half a dozen had an average run, half a dozen had a horrible run.

Just like a normal season then.

 

[HairyO]

Just like a normal season then.

A little more extreme this year, and the AFL were able to be a little more obvious, but yes.

 

[ZeroGlass]

By Toutatis.

Half a dozen had an easy run, half a dozen had an average run, half a dozen had a horrible run.

All the Vic clubs had a hard time of it, what are you on about? Interstate sides were at an advantage but that is pretty reasonable compensation for them all having to travel every second week for years and play the GF at the G

 

[BigVic]

No asterisk. The winner wins the toughest premiership of all time.

 

[PrinceCharles]

What rubbish, shortened games, shortened season, most players had their families in the hubs (or local day spa). As mentioned, it's only tougher if your opponents aren't experiencing the same thing.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Won't anyone think of the cricketers?

 

[revo333]

I always consider the 2016 Bulldogs flag to be worth 3 flags.

 

[BigVic]

2016 Bulldogs had to travel to Perth, return to Melbourne, travel again to Sydney, then back to Melbourne

1998 Crows had all Finals away from Adelaide before going back-to-back thanks to a wayward North Melbourne.

 

[threesixpio]

Nothing in 2020 will be thought off fondly and most will be forgotten ....

including the AFL “season”

 

[Igloo]

Pre-emptive Richmond are the greatest thread.

 

[JackOutback]

Pre-emptive Richmond are the greatest thread.

Richmond fan going early. What could possibly go wrong?

I initially thought the season was too compromised to count for much but once they got enough games in and crowds on, it felt like enough of a season to count. It’s not worth half, it’s not worth two, it will be a valid premiership for whoever wins.

 

[Roddy]

It’s neither the toughest nor the easiest or most questionable. No asterisk either way. It is what it is.

 

[Toump Ass]

I say it's worth three.
Tiges lose and I'm awarding four premierships to the winner.

 

[eaglespremiers]

The only asterix is if Brisbane wins.
