THE AFL has announced the abandonment of Sunday's Adelaide-Geelong in light of the death of Phil Walsh.

The following rules will apply for AFL Fantasy for this game.

- All Adelaide and Geelong players listed to play this weekend will be awarded their season average;

- Any new players (who have not played previously) will be awarded points in line with their break-even score;

- Throughout the weekend, Geelong and Adelaide players will appear as ‘BYE’, until the points are awarded at the end of the round (not during the game as per normal);

- Lock out will be lifted slightly later than usual on Sunday night.
