Golf? Tirade from Sam Newman incoming.Gee i'm not sure i would want to be an AFL player with the lock down rules they have to follow. They are not robots, and should be allowed to have some down time, these rules are ******* crazy.

The AFL has a date for the season relaunch.
But the players need to follow a strict set of rules in order for the season to run smoothly.

STRICT RULES FOR AFL PLAYERS
Golf and surfing are among two sports off limits to AFL players for the remainder of the 2020 season.
With the AFL fighting hard to get training underway on Monday – before starting matches from June 11 – players have been given a memo 40 pages long outlining protocols they must following.
According to The Age, AFL players will not be able to surf, play a round of golf or take their kids to a playground under the league's return to play rules.
However, players are able to go and visit their partners even if they don’t live together. AFL players are unable to welcome visitors into their homes, even though families members are not bound by the same restrictions.
Among the other restricted activities reported, AFL players can’t sit down in cafes, go fishing or boating, hold a picnic, have dinner at a friend’s place or perform volunteer/community work.
Players will be given a full tutorial of rules on Monday when non-contract training resumes across the board.
