Yes, the language is interesting - PM’s quoted as “advising” but the Guardian is using the wording of banned. Semantics by Scotty from Marketing displaying his lack of leadership and using weasel words (yet again
).

If AFL games are suspended for months, this forum is going to be crawling up its own orifice in search of discussion topics.

But they have not come direct from China. They have spent the minimum 14 days in a country that the Government has, or had at that time, declared safe to receive people from.
31,000 Chinese students arrive in Australia despite coronavirus travel ban
More than 31,000 Chinese students have made their way back to Australia after spending a fortnight in a third country, despite the government’s travel ban.www.news.com.au
"Figures from Department of Home Affairs show 31,196 Chinese students have now arrived in Australia since mid-February. The students have been arriving at a rate of about 1000 a day, according to The Sydney Morning Herald."
Just another beat up story.
Don't forget he has Church on Sunday.....
Has there been word that they will suspend the season?
I would expect them, and the broadcasters, to be busting a gut to still play.

Not yet but I suspect they will suspend the season as soon as a player or football dept support staff test positive. The AFL will follow what has happened in Europe with soccer: 1. Play in empty stadiums 2. Suspend when a club (any club with the 1st for the AFL) has a confirmed case.

I hope you are right. I would be more than happy for the teams to play to empty stadiums (as opposed to not playing at all), but as other posters have stated, depleted revenue for clubs may be a deciding factor.

What's that got to do with it? I bet you Mosques will be full tonight. If you actually knew what you were talking about then you would know that Christianity doesn't require you to go to church, pffft
Honestly, could you imagine watching a game on telly without crowd noise. May as well watch tiddlywinks.

Why can’t they play with no spectators?
Regardless the players and personnel still would be going to and fro like in shopping centres, walking the streets et.
So why can’t they also play football with TV being the medium for fans?

All you need is one player or staff member to get affected, and then it's goodnight season 2020.

If every team had an infected played or official then surely there would be no need to close down the competition.
