    I reckon the key thing to figure out first is what Rounds 10 and 11 look like and whether there is a way to calculate whether Round 10 can be normal 15 a side and round 11 can be best 13 from our current lists without disadvantaging any of the contending (ie 3-3 or better) sides. For the rest of us it is pretty much an exhibition year from this point unless a top 8 or 12 finals goes ahead..

    Using average scores for 4 AFL teams would suck and should be avoided as that could be up to 8-10 players on a single side. An alternative could be providing 3 or 4 topup players for the 7 game weeks to teams who can't field a 15 without oop players or donuts, or playing 13 a side as above.

    I like the idea put forward originally by Snoz but to me shifting scores across rounds in a wholesale fashion to create 17 rounds of 9 games just for the ORFFA's sake becomes a problem. Perhaps the Essendon and Melbourne scores could be shifted from either Round 10 or 11 to Round 3 to solve the previous Rounds "made up" scores issue but to what effect. We still end up with a whole bunch of rounds with 6, 7 or 8 matches at the end of the fixture. I would just prefer to play a 15 round regular season plus 3 week knockout or 14 round regular season plus 4 week finals (either top 8 with top 4 having a double chance or trial a top 12 system) based on whatever the Round 13-18 fixture allows.

    If the 17 round season determined pre-season remains then do you extend it to 17+1 and decide it based on the 2 best/luckiest sides facing off in a normal 9 game round to decide the title.

    If this is an option, I think we should have a grand final in the 18th week. I still believe its best to run 17 rounds, so we all play each other once each.
    What to do about all the byes along the way, Im not sure.

    Agree on 17 + 1
    As far as the byes go, there's two kinds of luck, good and bad, win a round due having more players onfield is in this circumstance, good luck, whilst losing for the opposite reason is bad luck.
    I don't see the point in a large amount of applied effort to manufacture an outcome that is barely less manufactured than the luck of the draw.

    While it keeps the Nuffers out of our rightful place in the bottom 4 long may it continue.

    A very entertaining game at Anfield this morning; summed up the cows season to date - very flakey. I've posted this here @Bandit so we can move on to round 8 full of hope.
