    Here are the first 6 rounds for the 2021 Seasons, thanks to @Bandit, @JC & @chris88

    Round 1 – AFL Round 1
    Date: Thursday 18th March 2021
    THEME - Sacrifice a Spud to the COVID gods Round


    To kick off the 2021 ORFFA season, we are introducing a new round in a bid to ward off any repeat of the COVID-blighted 2020 season.

    Every coach can - nay, must - choose a current player who they wish to offer up as a 'donation' to ensure season 2021 runs far more smoothly than season 2020. We of course suggest that sacrificing a spud (rather than a stud) might be the prudent way forward.

    And while the 'sacrificed' spuds sit out this round, the scheduled games go on (though they must be completed within a scheduled two-hour window set aside for exercise and if your team isn't able to play a team from within a 5km radius, well, there could be real issues there).

    Of course, all 'sacrificed' spuds will be returned in good working order at round's end and can be reclaimed by their owners in a responsible way with adequate 1.5m of physical distancing at all times.

    Round 2 – AFL Round 2
    Date: Thursday 25th March 2021
    THEME - Stupid Injury Round


    Ever suffered serious injury trampolining? How about spearing yourself with a garden stake? Breaking a wrist tripping over a fence? Breaking ankles jumping off a fence? Breaking wrists jumping off a ute? Hurting yourself by tripping over your own suitcase? Or by getting hit by a golf cart? Or just being dumb enough to try firewalking?

    Of course we normal people would never do such things. But in the rarefied world populated by elite AFL footballers, these hazards are virtually unavoidable. So this round we all hope that none of our ORFFA teams' players inflict upon themselves a stupid injury ... and please, please - just don't try firewalking.

    Round 3 – AFL Round 3
    Date: Thursday 1st April 2021
    THEME - Walesy Appreciation Round


    We all appreciate Walesy, our kindly overseer and all round tip top guy as he continues to ensure the Too Serious site runs as smoothly and efficiently as the 2020 AFL season.

    No obstacle will ever get in his way when it comes to running a well-organised fantasy-centric website, nothing will stop him ever making his deliveries on time - neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the .... oh, hold on, lapsed into something else entirely there.

    Anyway, hooray for Walesy. Hooray!

    Round 4 – AFL Round 4
    Date: Thursday 8th April 2021
    THEME - Mark Seaby Memorial Round


    Draft SNAFUs are fun. Choosing ineligible players, making picks in the wrong order ... all part of the great gigantic fun ride that is the ORFFA. The long-retired Mark Seaby remains immortalised thanks to such a draft SNAFU in our inaugural ORFFA mega-draft.

    As always, the round named after our favourite draft SNAFU sees Foul Bay take on Birdsville for the draft rights to Mark Seaby's children, his children's children, and those children's children, etc.

    Round 5 – AFL Round 5
    Date: Thursday 15th April 2021
    THEME - Muso Round


    Each year the ORFFA's Muso Round sees the league celebrate the great Australian and New Zealand musical types that fill our ears with delights from Down Under, or lovely tunes from the Land of the Long White Cloud.

    This week, home teams get to nominate a chosen muso to play during half time of their ORFFA fixture, while away teams get to nominate the muso to supply after-match entertainment ... not too loudly though, it is getting late and the kiddies need to get to bed so they can get some sleep.

    THEME – ANZAC Round


    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
    We will remember them.

    In the team selection page, all of the players are currently locked. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

    Excellent work Jen and your elves. The first round fixture between the cows and the uglies seems to have slipped off the op, although it is there in the team lists page. I'll sanitise my keyboard after typing this.

    I think it is something to do with round 1 lockout being set. Mike has set the FFF and admins for the other leagues should be able to do those as well.
