You're all weak cowardly flogs with no sense of adventure. I'll tip Melbourne if I want to, coz I live on the cutting edge of adventure and excitement. Envy my wild and free lifestyle.

So apparently the GABBA surface is unfit to play on for the women's Grand Final so they have to go to Metricon instead. I would be furious if I were the Lions, it's the same week as Round 1 for the men's kicking off how the gently caress is the stadium not ready??

I'm pretty sure the AFL is furious seeing as venues feel the AFL is a captive customer. Do what they want to bring in big bucks (concerts etc)

The thing about the AFLW GF (and early Lions home games) not being at the Gabba is that it's not actually the AFL's fault. They're getting strong armed by cricket in the only state that can happen. The curator is saying Adele ruined the pitch area and he needs to spend some time fixing the turf she apparently wrecked to ensure the pitch for the first Ashes Test later this year is ok.

Already talks about a boutique stadium in QLD with a capacity of 10-15k to make up for this happening. Apparently the Agricultural show stepped asked to offer their facilities but they're not at an approved standard.

I have a feeling I did post these numbers a few weeks ago, but anyway. Methodology: - use my usual ratings based on last years' home-and-away performances, but regressed by 25% - give teams a random nudge before each simulated season to account for bolters and divers - sim each season game-by-game as I normally do (ie. work out par scores for each match from the previous step and then give them another random nudge) Personally, I think Adelaide and Hawthorn might dip slightly, GWS should consolidate, West Coast should have a better year. Mid-range, I think Melbourne and St Kilda both have potential to improve but then you can say that about every team in the middle. Brisbane have to come up at some point. Essendon to be as rubbish as they were in 2015 now they've got that team back.

TG-Chrono posted:https://twitter.com/AFL_House/status/843620216579878912 Women will still get a premiership medallion. These rings are a counterpart to the watches men get for winning grand finals (in recent years) Makes sense. Not the best design though IMO, could have team colours in a band around it or something.

Beginning on the weekend of August 22-23, the newly formed competition will include all eight non-AFL aligned SANFL clubs fielding teams at Under-14 and Under-16 level. The competition will run across a four-week period, including three minor rounds before culminating in a Grand Final on the weekend of September 12-13. Both the Under-14 and Under-16 competitions will be split into a Northern and Southern conference each consisting of four teams. The Northern conference will include Norwood, North, Central and the Eagles while the Southern conference will incorporate Glenelg, Sturt, South and West.
