Hey all, No doubt we are all on the edge of our seats awaiting Gil's final call on whether the season will actually take place. Nonetheless, hats off to @TheTassieHawk and his minions who have been toiling away to create us a workable fixture for the season (14 weeks + 3 weeks finals). So for now, we live in hope. With that said...Get your TS leagues in order and post up your side for round 1! @Len @TheTassieHawk @leematty @YAD69 @port_leschenault @anthak @Dale Duivesteyn @Darran @Bearfly @MrsBear @stowie @thokash @Brett Sanders @James84 @tyze1 Walpole Woylies vs Mt Thirsty Boozers Port Lincoln Power vs Black Swamp 29ers Useless Loop Virgins vs Cockburn Avengers Drouin Dropbears vs Jan Juc Ducks Mole Creek Glow-Worms vs Macquarie Island Whales Rutherglen Fugitives vs Heard Island Shags Neptune Island Noahs vs Maralinga Atoms Wedge Island White Pointers vs Nangkita Bucks
Ill start by locking in Dusty(mid) and Ed Curnow(int bench) in. Any ideas on what a decent round score will be with the shortened game format? Are SC scaling back their per game points spread or are they just gonna give extra points for things like good banner entrances, excellent goal celebrations or having Ablett as your last name?
I am hearing that the 3300 points per game will remain, so basically my guess is everything that was 1 point last season should be around 1.25 points in 2020 to make up for the lost time per quarter before scaling up/down to 825 points per quarter.
Didn't think we'd get this far... here is what I've dropped in, will review and edit this post if it changes. DEF: Pittard, Moore, Harry Cunningham, Savage (Atley) MID: Polec, Duncan, Danger, Shuey (Conca) RUC: Lobb FWD: Andrew Brayshaw, Casboult, Bolton, Rozee (Butler) INT: Tomlinson, Bellchambers (Scully)
Matt Kennedy onfield for Avengers with Paddy Dow as I/C Emergency is all we have certainty on for now
Preliminary Mole Creek team for round one (tonights players highlighted) B: Saad, Petrevski-Seton, Cumming, Short (Crozier) M: Cripps, Kelly, McCluggage, Sidebottom (Fiorini) R: Darcy F: Petracca, Heeney, Walters, Gresham (Tucker) I: Perryman, Graham (Williams)
Prelim team for the Noahs Def - Laird, Aish, Dawson, Haynes (Aliir) Mid - Gaff, Hunter, Ross, Billings (Duursma) Ruck - Gawn Fwd - Greenwood, Himmel, Cripps, Lynch (Fisher) IC - Florent, Brodie (AMT)

Maralinga Atoms Round 1 team Def - S Hurn, T Stewart, R Burton, W Milera (S Burgoyne) Mid - S Coniglio, T Kelly, J Dunkley, B Crouch (Ed Curnow) Ruck - T Goldstein (B McEvoy) Fwd - D Martin, C Wingard, R Gray, J Lukosious (M Tabener) Int - J Berry, T Rockliff
To be clear the fixture presented as 14+3 is simply my suggestion as it could also be used to frame a 13+4 by doing away with Round 14 if the committee prefers to continue with the AFL style top 8 finals irrespective of a shorter regular season or a 15-2 by cutting back to a top 4 knockout finals. If the AFL season gets cut to shorter than 17 games/rounds similar options would apply and the Committee and/or Commish will need to make decisions as/when further AFL fixture details emerge.
Round 1 - Useless Loop Virgins Def: James Sicily, Kade Simpson, Liam Baker, Josh Battle (Griffin Logue) Mid: Lachie Neale, James Worpel, Trent Dumont, Isaac Smith Ruck: Rhys Stanley (Sam Naismith) Fwd: Tim O’Brien, Aaron Naughton, Cameron Zurhaar, Josh J Kennedy (Zak Butters) Int: Tom Phillips, Liam Ryan (Steven May)
