It’s a statewide decision. It’ll be all or none imo.

Has to be all or nothing. Looks like MPNFL have got issues with playing, which will causes issues.
I think a half season is still a realistic chance, but crowds wont be involved at all.

By the time the season starts it could be upto 50-100 people in the bars with social distancing . Can see 500 people in the open soon , yes a restriction and difficult to manage but I'm sure it is possible. “On June 22, three weeks later, they can be increased to 50, and in July, so three or four weeks after, we will look to move to 100 patrons in a closed space,” Andrews said.

You think they will play with no crowds at all? That would be the most rediculous thing I have heard. What’s the point of 44 guys running around and not 1 person can watch?
How could you possibly police no people watching. Most games are in a public park. People can sit in their car.

I can see no crowds on the grounds at breaks but to have no crowds at all is laughable.
Feel for the poor buggers who miss the cut for training ha ha
A Covid19 officer?
Jesus Christ you’d wanna background to be all over the compliance stuff or will the leagues actually do the leg work and this officer simply has to overlook according to what’s rolled down to the volunteers?
Insurance companies right now "Have you paid your new COVID-19 insurance premiums"
Obviously not a statewide decision like first thought with the Heathcote league calling the season off. Hearing MPNFL are pushing for a cancellation also.
Transfers must be stopped.

Cancelled
Metro different to country but we all claim to be heavily invested local footy folk, and a lot of the stresses and strains in volunteers are parallel

Worth a listen ...
Heathcote District Football League Chairman Peter Cole on Dwayne's World - Friday 22nd May
Peter Cole speaks to Sam Edmund about the decision to cancel the 2020 season for the Heathcote District Football League.

I’ve said for weeks it’s not happening.
Any club with money will end up with zero for a half assed season. Any club in debt will be more in debt.
Listen to the chairman of the Heathcote league.... the volunteer demands are insane.
14 day isolation for all players if someone tests positive even from oppo, no strapping, no room access for bags, not even a full side can train, no massage.
Who’s paying the ground rental and lighting costs? Teams are now training 5 days a week to fit everyone in.

I have from a very good source that the league is making the decision whether to cancel the season or proceed after Queens Birthday

Expect an influx of transfers to vafa clubs. Don’t blame players for wanting to play.

Has to be statewide a complete ban plus the infection control issues are far too onerous then there is the legal side of it. If you were head of a club would you be signing off on this - not in a million years.
Oh cool didn’t know they were making the calls for the state government!
EDFL Will go under without a season.
Clubs still haven’t been outlined what it will look like because they simply don’t know.

Sorry Mr Pessimistic, if State Govt approve and 100 is in place then VAFA and 1 other will definitely go ahead. Is that clearer
Well see, vafa in financial trouble so will want the juicy fees.

Imagine if they stay there for the OP's move to NFNL Div 3 in 2021? The Bulls would be a touch unhappy!

Promotion and relegation still in play if the season goes ahead with a 9 game season according to the comp.
I'm not quite sure I agree with it. I agree that premierships should be awarded but not promotion/relegation.
