Booze bud agree with your first two paragraphs but the last paragraph is way off.
It costs $100 to buy a test and can only be administered by a nurse (signed off by GP) or a GP (enter added costs here)
Plus you can only get tested if you have symptoms.

pretty sure you can go to the drive through at Highpoint and be tested for free
 
Umpires have been asked to take a 50% pay cut.

I think clubs are going to have to find a few more volunteers each week.

Touché I had no idea, temperature checks pre game by a league official then who has the power to send a player home

Under appreciated and abused for a long time and now asked to take a hit.

Maybe the umps dig in, and let clubs put up umpires like they do in the bush.

That’s one issue solved 👍

Next?

Time for our league to stand up and lead the way. As a league that doesn’t rely on gate takings we can make it work. Already leading the way with no player payments time for EDFL to showcase how good it actually is
 
Northern and Eastern Football League senior football both called off after meeting with AFL VIC
The juniors are still on . They should had $0 player payments , its the only way the season can go ahead in 2020 for seniors.
I guess there be A few clearances going out for blokes who want a kick on a Saturday.

Very true. People can get fired up all they like, and insist that the season must go on regardless. Ultimately though, it is probably not going to be under their control. Will be dictated almost exclusively by the extent and duration of the health protocols, and the dubious likelihood of clubs being able to operate under extremely stringent requirements.

See that's the bit I don't get. Both Northern & Eastern are committed to playing their junior seasons. So perhaps it is strictly a financial decision (given health protocols would be in place for all age groups). Given the EDFL has already floated the no payment policy for 2020, maybe all is not lost - yet.

Maybe they will play juniors on a Saturday so that they can have a 30-45 minute break between each game to allowing families to leave and new families arriving not to mix together.

U19s have been cancelled by Eastern and Northern. I wonder if EDFL cancels the Seniors they can retain U18s. As you said Horse, play 18s/16s Saturday and the 14/12/10 Sunday - gaps in between.

Why cancel Seniors and keep 18’s ?

Also the AIS framework requires the change rooms and communal areas to be cleaned with disinfectant between games so will need the extended break between games. Hopefully with non-players kept out of change rooms now they'll empty quickly.

It was a rhetorical question...

I understand if the leagues are cancelled but to cancel seniors and not juniors reeks of a financial not health related decision

The health experts say that kids less likely to have the diseases. That’s why they are all at school and adults continue to work from home. Junior kids less likely to transmit during a game compared to seniors
 
Love this stuff. It is all about da cash $$$. I think parents will be watching the kids , not in great numbers like seniors but all health protocols will still be in place. Hope this decision means clubs will be financial in 2021 and beyond as the junior fees will be a sweetener to start next season

Every club and competition will fight for junior football to be played.
It is the largest sponsorship by far and only sponsor in some cases for 2020.
Even if its a 6 to 8 game season for juniors its a again a financial decision "a win / win for clubs & league"
If juniors are scrapped we are talking some clubs in a world of hurt not being able to refund all members.
