Template change

I've done this one: User:Schem/Scorecard but don't know enough about the substitution part. Schem

Nicely done. I think we'll use that template. I swapped them all over, and made a few minor adjustments.

MCG

Do we need to state that the Melbourne Cricket Ground is in Melbourne? The stadium name is self explanitory in telling us it's location I think. RockerballAustralia 06:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is purely to fit in with all the other ground listings (Subiaco Oval, Perth etc). Probably is required, unless you want to say "Subiaco Oval, Western Australia" and therefore "Melbourne Cricket Ground, Victoria". I reckon it should stay as it is, however. Cheers,

No problems - it's good to see some interest in this article. Feel free to update it with scores and other details as they come in :D

Hehe, the article says not to edit it in order to prevent edit conflicts, you almost had me slapping a {{contradict}} tag on it :D Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 09:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ha ha ha Mike... are you still on IRC?

Grand Final

Of the two Grand Final teams (still undesided) would be deemed the home team? RockerballAustralia 23:39, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's determined by placing on the ladder, I think - not 100% sure. Maybe it's a coin toss...

Yeah, the coin toss is why I was asking. It's usually the Away team that calls it. RockerballAustralia 01:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the home team is the winner of the 1st Prelim. Stats Fanatic 07:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2006 AFL Grand Final merge

Surely anything in the grand final article will be right at home in the section in this article - the article and the section are almost identical anyway. -- Chuq 13:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We're planning on adding the lead-up and aftermath of the matches, as well as a summary of the actual match, on this page. See the to-do box.

  • I don't think adding that much detail to the finals series article would clutter it up - it is only 24k at the moment. Who is going to create 1896 VFL Grand Final through to 2005 AFL Grand Final (currently a redirect)? Even most of the season articles don't exist yet, and as far as finals series articles go, I think this year is the only one that exists. -- Chuq 03:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as is. I think the significance of a grand final in modern times is great enough to warrant its own article - in the same way that the 2005 Melbourne Cup has its own article. We shouldnt shy away from making a good article about this grand final just because people might not make the effort to make last year's article, or that the 1897 article wasnt very significant. Similar arguments were made about the VFL/AFL seasons and they are all slowly being put together. I think that if we keep the grand final article, the grand final team list should be removed from this finals series article as it is an unnecessary duplication.

  • Keep separate. Let's give Rogerthat <strike>and Daniel.Bryant</strike> a chance to finish it without interference. We can always discuss this again once we've seen the end product. Snottygobble 11:23, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think Daniel.Bryant wants to merge, not keep. Remy B 12:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks. Redacted. Snottygobble 12:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • I changed my mind, and hence struck your strikes :D

  • It appears keeping it is the popular choice, so if kept I suggest a move to 2006 AFL grand final :) -- Chuq 07:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Self-reply: I just noticed that the general grand final article is at AFL Grand Final - a google search shows usage is normally "Grand Final" if in an informal sense such as forums/fansites; "Grand Final" if used in a official sense, such as "Toyota 2006 AFL Grand Final" [1], and "grand final" by other parts of the media. [2] [3] Some mix them up in the same article ([4] has caps in heading, lowercase in body). Now I'm not really sure which is most appropriate. -- Chuq 07:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm thinking CAPS would be better.
