That looks pretty good TFAF, lets hope that works out. There is some potential for the season to go till Christmas if there are further delays. A lot depends on the flights available at that stage.
Whichever way it goes there will certainly be no full stadiums permitted until there is a reliable and widely available vaccine.

Perhaps a bye after the last match as this puts the GF after the Melbourne Cup if played in Victoria or play it at top team's home ground (with or without them)
Otherwise start 4 weeks later

So now they believe they can get in 144 games before year end.
Well as long as it doesn't interrupt what could be the best domestic Cricket comp we have had since the clowns decided to have shield & One day cricket without the country's best players.
I love Aussie rules, but if it can't be played April to Sept, don't play.

The VFL pretending to be AFL are at it again.
another commandment today.
"though shalt not have a training advantage over the opposition especially if they are in Victoria "

During the regular season our Victorian friends have a distinct advantage with less travel and more time for training and recovery etc while the WA teams are en route to and from games but now because the WA teams can have groups of ten training together the VFL decides that's an advantage too much.

Go figure.

What a load of utter crap. Wouldn’t you think that they’d love to see a bit of movement, albeit in WA? At least that would get Aussie Rules back in the news. Everyone is watching the rugby league to see what they’re doing. They are taking the limelight at the mo.

The AFL placing great faith in all players , coaches and support staff doing the right thing to prevent the spread of the virus is totally misplaced as proven by the 3 Freo players on the weekend. It is too dangerous to let these morons loose on the public

Yes Yes one or three bad apples doesn't spoil the bunch but as I have said before
Anyone who doesn't think one person can change the world hasn't eaten a raw bat from a wet market.

TRSM, there was an article on the AFL site that mentioned the players are very upset about the AFL suggesting they stay in hubs for the proposed season with only 1 week off after the first 8 games, not happy to be separated from family and friends which is very understandable. If this is imposed, they will consider standing down and not playing.

It’s a hard one. Cricketers do it, as I’m sure other sports people do. But if it was me, I wouldn’t be happy. Years ago, I spent 6 months away at work and after about 4, it became pretty damned stressful. I got through it ok, but I’d never do it again.

They should have no premiers in 2020, have a 34 game season with everybody playing twice, 12 games this year eventually, and 22 games next year.
