Given we had no changes (and I realise the irony in saying this), I at least was confident that the team was going to be simmed with our Centre line as was listed and our Half Forward line as was listed.
I was more confident however that the sim checking process that has been in place in previous seasons was going to flag this pre-game at which point there was no need to raise it. Given I was responsible for checking dozens of matches last year before they were posted, I had full trust that this process was still in place but as we approached closer to Sunday, I began to realise that this may no longer be the case. There is no way that our team sheet error would pass the "test" given there's a copy and paste method from the official team sheet, inputted into an excel document meaning that 6 errors would have flashed in red.
We actually didn't even realise that the players played in the wrong positions until an hour or two AFTER the game was posted. I certainly wasn't one of the 6 and frankly I care little for much other than myself, sorry gals. It was at this point we realised that we may actually have legal grounds for a re-sim, which letter to the law, we absolutely do. Despite the honest mistake that was made by Cubs. The question is morally, do we deserve a re-sim - perhaps not however the law does not dabble in morals. Without getting too deep into it, we have every right for a re-sim as per the rules, however I think we're all more excited by the idea of discourse rather than the idea of a re-sim. And frankly, that is exactly what this place is all about, it's beautiful.
Welcome the Sweet FA bro. You really think all clubs are going to self-report when they've made a mistake? I suppose there's never been a need given Serial is here and plus, a sim checker process was in place that flagged all of these before games were posted. But sure, go off king. Clubs SHOULD SELF REPORT!
