So there could be 6 people sitting next to each other if all from same group, 2 spare seats, then another group I believe that was solely for the active area, though happy to be corrected.

If they continue with a front 4 that can really press and a no nonsense defence they'll pick up a lot of points. It'll be interesting to see how the game here evolves as we move to a winter competition. It'll be easier to maintain a pressing game for longer periods of the game as teams won't be playing in 38 degrees and high humidity. Conversely, it'll also favour teams that are able to retain the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper "winter competition" for Melbourne clubs would be April to November, or mid-March to mid-November. How would that suit Brisbane and Perth (for examples)?

Couple of things to consider on that one in general but we are definitely slowly going towards winter over 2 seasons I thought. 1. Priority was/is to align with Australian grassroots (March/April to September/October around that). 2. Alignment with other Asian leagues (think about ACL). 3. International calendar 4. Alignment with transfer windows from other regions.x Edited January 3, 2021 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the idea is to transition over a few seasons. Brisbane and Perth will have to play away games in cold weather, the variety of climates will make all teams more flexible if they want to succeed. There won't be one playing style that'll suit all conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper winter for Melbourne is March to November. December-January being possible winter and February probably boiling, with winter unlikely but not unheard of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
