Surely the AFL have to be looking at a bye round. Just move the bye from before finals to this weekend, give SA and VIC another week to get out of lockdown and take stock on the situation.

That option appears to be the last resort.

Appears to be the last resort but to me makes the most sense. Maybe they are worried if they stop it will be hard to get it restarted again

This appears to be the thinking behind not pausing the season. Apparently, the Giants and Swans are not actively advocating for a pause, but they also appear to be most in favour of a pause. But given the speed at which the Delta variant has run through Sydney and potentially Melbourne, there's no guarantee that the AFL could get the show back on the road if they give everyone an impromptu bye this weekend. Plus it would involve some delicate and frantic negotiations with the broadcasters, sponsors, ground operators, etc., to get all the ducks lined up in a row.
