AFL season might hault for a month with the lockdown.
Would help Shiel and McGrath
Why? Would've thought they'd hub in whatever states aren't currently disease bags, like they've done a couple of times already like when we were in Perth last month or in Brissy last year...

Yeah between Vic, Tas and SA we have 6 grounds right to go.

Might end up as a mud bath you reckon? Would certainly be intriguing...

If it got to the point where we can only play in three states (and that's not a guarantee, some games are still going ahead in some states but with restrictions), then I reckon they could find some more ovals if they're not too fussy about seating capacity.

Alice Springs is the wrong side of the border but they might be able to make it work given how remote it is, and atm moment only Darwin is locked down, not the whole territory. Same sort of thing perhaps with Cairns or other grounds outside the capital cities, perhaps even the Riverina, Broken Hill has an oval that was supposed to be getting upgrade to AFL standard a couple of years ago, no idea if the work has been done yet. The ACT currently has no cases atm, so GWS could host games there. Then there's the suburban and regional Vic grounds, there'd probably be incentives to play on some of those as well.

SA closing borders to almost the entire country doesn't really help their cause and might make it a bit of a juggle, but they've gotten pretty good at juggling.

I was more saying the opposite of a mud bath. 6 grounds is more than enough to survive with.

Survive, yes. Don't they usually try to avoid multiple games at the same ground on a weekend though? I think that's why they don't let kids have a kick on the grass after the game because they want to keep it nice for the following day 🤔 Or before covid anyway.

In any case even if we were restricted to Victoria I think we could make it work. You might get more games out your way, that's all 😛

I thought it common place to play multiple games at MCG and Marvel in the same weekend. Have nothing to back that up though.
7 if you count Ballarat
Good shout.
