Hard to see any AFL this season, with the height of the flu season in July-September - too many symptoms such as a fever overlap with Corona. AFL would need to postpone until October at the earliest. The AFL should just allow clubs to have an extra 4 list spots for next season so a 2020 draft can be complete but hard when no junior footy is underway.

If the AFL season cancellation is not happening what other reason is there to have a press conference in 2 hours.

to reveal another modified season?

 

[Professor Knowall]

V'Landys announcing the NRL will continue on regardless, using private jets.

We are all getting shut down and risk going to the wall not just AFL. If the thing can be shut down then a few months footy is back.
OR
Are you arguing this is overkill? In which case we should be able to attend? States are shutting their borders now. How can it realistically continue?
I was looking forward to the season as much as anyone and the pies window may now shut but the AFL is part of society not seperate from it.

I am in complete and total agreement with shutting down, absolutely. I don’t expect the season to continue at this stage. My comment was more about the financial implications.

To expect 320 odd players plus that in staff to isolate in a different state to their families?
Not going to happen

Good article on end game options. This can either really drag out with half measures or we go very strong lockdown for a few months until new cases slow right down and keep our borders closed for 12 months or until a vaccine treatment is found.

Australia has an advantage that many countries don't — here's how we use it — ABC News

Nobody likes talking about the COVID-19 endgame, but we need to choose one. The appropriate interventions — public health, government spending and freedom of movement — all depend on the endgame we choose. The differences between endgames amount to tens of thousands of avoidable deaths, hundreds...
