August 14: Round 17
August 21: Round 18
August 28-29: Qualifying and Elimination Finals
September 4-5: Semi Finals
September 11: Preliminary Final

Think we can put a line through this scenario with 20 new cases today

I wouldn't be surprised if we lose the August 21 restart scenario as well given that clubs wouldn't have been even able to train together before games resuming
If we can start on Aug 28th, would teams be happy with this? If games went to form and ladder position it would mean ladder would be Banyule, Lower, Thomo, Eltham, Diamo and St Marys
Elination finals would be Thomastown vs St Marys (2 weeks in a row) and Eltham vs Diamond Creek
August 28 Start (Knockout Top 6 Finals Series)
August 28: Round 18
September 4-5: Elimination Finals 3 vs 6 4 vs 5
September 11-12: Preliminary Finals 1 vs lowest placed winner 2 vs other winner
September 19: Grand Final
September 4 Start (Knockout Top 6 Finals Series)
September 4-5: Elimination Finals
September 11-12: Preliminary Finals
September 19: Grand Final
September 11 Start (Knockout Top 4 Finals Series)
September 11-12: Preliminary Finals 1 vs 4 2 vs 3
September 19: Grand Final

Another 22 cases today. Would have to be September 4 return at this rate
The league has made i clear. If you can play, you will be playing. Players can partner up. No excuses.
How can they partner up?
Ah previously you were allowed to meet one other. Either way you can keep fit enough to play a game.

Not allowed to take kids to the park for the next 2 weeks. Struggle to see how footy will be played just 2 days later. Season looks finished.
General fitness and match fitness are two different things. Just because you can partner up with one other player doesn't mean you have had the physical match pressure from a game. But if you are prepared for players to continually doing soft tissue injuries due to no proper match simulation or training well the league will be made to look like fools. The health and safety of players is more important.
If the restrictions are there for community sport like it was after the previous few lockdowns then they won't be starting the Saturday after this lockdown completes if it completes at all
Come on. People call up randoms and past players to fill in for the reserves all the time.
End of the day you can easily stay fit Enough for 2 games.
I’m not super confident but restrictions are tight enough to get a result. We will know by the Monday if games will be happening. Hopefully it works.

Forget about top 6 fixture
Go with a top four series
There is no guarantee we won’t all be back in lockdown again after finals start.
Play a top four knock out comp and just get it done
Doesn’t matter if it’s unfair it just needs to get done
6th place team shouldn’t be playing finals anyway IMO

not sure if any of you guys saw this?states that weather it was this weekend or the weekend in 3 to 4 weeks one way or another there going to play a grand final to finish the season
sounds dumb
but guess that’s the way it’s going to be regardless

Yep was out there but in the end it all depends upon if community sport is allowed to be played

What is with these comments all over this board?? Almost as if a lot of you want the season over and no finals played and a result! Of course it’s annoying/frustrating etc. but geez, if we can get a few games of local footy in, especially a few finals games that doesn’t impact on clubs having to pay match payments or anything, then why wouldn’t we give that every chance???
Yes you can lose match fitness but doesn’t stop guys doing training In the meantime, especially if guys are working from home or in lockdown and even then, so what if there not as fit as they normally would be?? Everyone is in the same boat!
Yes guys could get a soft tissue injury but what’s the big deal with that? Just because they haven’t played and aren’t match fit it doesn’t heighten the risk of breaking a leg or something that will effect there day to day life so I don’t see the big deal if we happen to see a couple of extra hamstrings!! Teams have been told they will be playing so the onus is on the individuals to keep fit.
Ask any player who’s team has qualified for finals and 95% of them want to play… so as a supporter or someone who doesn’t play, I don’t know why any of you are saying “can’t play now, season must be scrapped”… i just don’t get those comments!
Not having a go, just genuinely confused about those thoughts! I for one really hope we can at least get a couple of weeks of finals in and a premiership winner, if covid keeps going and it doesn’t eventuate then so be it, but I’m happy the league is going to give it every chance!

Unfortunately community sport is done for the year - Very sad for the players, volunteers and supporters

I'm staying optimistic, it would be nice if the season could finish with a GF. CV has already started releasing cricket fixtures which see a first Saturday in October start so fingers crossed footy can finish

If we are in lockdown or football cannot commence until after September 19th is the NFL proposal to promote the top 2 teams in Div 2 to Div 1??
Can't see any teams being promoted from Div 2 into Div 1 and Div 3 into Div 2.
Let's just hope we can start again in 2022, get a full season in and have promotion/relegation at end of 2022 year.

In the Goulburn valley they have already cancelled the season and awarded premierships to Echuca

Some clubs will struggle if they have to keep playing year after year without promotion. It’s not sustainable to either the clubs or the players.
