Part 1 Rounds 1 - 9 Welcome everyone to the 2016 season, below this the FIXture that we have been working on for the last month or so. You will note that we have old faithful rounds but we do have a few new rounds this year, also, just by chance, Bleak Week takes on a new meaning for four of the teams this year. Round 1 (AFL 1) … Fantasy Footballers Anonymous Round Placed in round 1 at the end of the most intense period in a fantasist's year. Raising awareness for the plight of those people (and their loved ones) who suffer from the rapidly emerging fantasy football addiction. Our version of the Gambler's Anonymous cards on the back of the toilet door at a Casino!

This round pays tribute to any fantasy footy-related insomnia, with special consideration to Saturday night where we will all have an extra hour to deal with.

We pay homage to the modesty and humility of our lesser-lights as they rub their trusty Hen's Tooth and trot out a Supercoach ton for the record books.

Part 2 Rounds 10 - 17 Round 10 (AFL 10) … Geek Pride Round Geek Pride day is on May 25th. The universal Geek manifesto decrees the rights of the Geek to be many. Here is a taste: Right to be more geek. Right to stay home. Right not like it football or sport (WHAT! Ahh, must taking about Soccer. Phew!) Right to have few friends (or none). Right not to be fashionable. Right to overweight and myopia. Right to dominate the world.

But we’ve probably already said enough, so let’s just stop right there and get on with the game.

No better way to celebrate the cold, miserable Australian winter than chasing a bag of wind through the ankle-deep slush of a Tasmanian footy paddock. But for four of our teams Bleak Week has another meaning, we don’t want to be around these teams as husband and wife play against each other.

If only we'd trademarked the naming rights three years ago, we'd be moderately wealthy. Goofies are celebrated this week for good reason, they rock! http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-02-08...

I'm am honoured that the FIXture committee has picked the Spelunkers to go up against Tracey in her round
Awesome stuff Jen Anthak et al Could you please email me the list if you have it in excel or csv format and I will update the league page. Getting close

Huzzah.
doesn't look like any of us have it in a spreadsheet format, Len ... If you copy and paste it from above, you will have just what we already have. Let us know if you want us to do anything differently. Cheers
No worries, I'll do it tonight. Once I've done it I'll send back the resulting file so it can be done as it's created (For next time obviously)
Hi guys, could I please ask our fixture team to have a look at rounds 1, 5 and 12 and determine a lockout approach for them? These ones all have Monday games, 2 start on a Thursday and one on a Friday, I'm not sure when Monday teams will be named but am assuming it's not necessarily Friday, if it is we possibly don't need any alteration in approach? There are a number of other rounds starting on a Thursday, but they end on a Sunday, we have a precedent for them locking the Thursday game only and then the whole round on the Friday.
Nice work. Seeing the fixture is reigniting the Nuffers enthusiasm for the upcoming season. We actually had four players leave the social club and run a couple of laps after seeing the fixture. We're starting pre season training early this year.
Hey mate, we've quickly discussed it and decided to recommend that we continue the same way as last year, that the full lock will take place at beginning of the Friday game (or the next game in the absence of a Friday game). This is regardless of whether there is a Monday game or not.
Rd 7 - celebrated for being an annual loser. Is this like the participation ribbons I racked up as a kid that Mum said made me special?
Despite being on the fixture committee, I promise I had nothing to do with you facing the reigning premier in this round. [insert semi-sincere, pinocchio-esque emoji]
