Why "at least"? NSW has more than twice as many cases as Victoria |
The virus is not going to disappear from Victoria (or any state) in the next month, or two, and unlikely three. Hence it will be around until there is a vaccine, and relaxing restrictions is just going to allow it to increase in cases again. Even the PM said we are in this for 6 months. And the Victorian government has been one of the quickest to move and most stringent. Andrews won't be relaxing any restrictions any time soon.

Except for when it came to closing beaches, he didn't bother doing that even after seeing what happened at Bondi a week earlier... |

its in the membership thread - i reckon we didnt get the whole thing, he was goaded on. i do wish some other prick from another team would stick their head out for a change. a lot of teams have stood down all their workers, ours are getting 2 days pay a week. but no, we are the arseholes!! ugh

We won't get a vaccine in 3 months but if new case growth is reduced sufficiently I think you'll see restrictions reduced to stage 2
ScoMo said 6 months of "disruption" which will certainly be true. But VIC said stage 3 will be reviewed in 4 weeks, whereas NSW said June 29 from the start
Anyway time will tell but I could see footy being played again in Q3

Suns to become the Tassie Devils? |
It's simple get rid of both Gold Coast and GWS. Complete waste of time! With the amount of concessions and
And go back to 16 teams.

Yes, until last year when we beat Richmond and Brisbane.

NSW comes out of lockdown June 27. Non essential flights won't start for what, maybe another 3 months as they will be super cautious to stop the second wave. That takes us to October and the AFL is pretty much shit outta luck in having any sort of meaningful season.
Sure, play games, practice games, or anything...even have a lightning premiership, but don't try to have a proper season. |

I cannnot see footy coming back this season, i reckon its wishful thiinking, its done and dusted, look to next season, League must prune back costs, get rid ot that financial disaster the Gold coast suns wind them up and save millions of dollars, better that ,than a victorian team merging, or folding.

Agree get rid of both Gold Coast Suns and GWS too. Putting heaps of money into those teams complete waste of time!

Giants r probably ok now, they did make the Finals for a few yrs, made a GF, even, leas they showed vast improvement. But the suns are a total joke, very low crowds, low members, any star they get wants to bail, like tom lynch and ablett, and others. Maybe Nth Melb might have to relocate to tassie, i think time has run out for Norf, and the Deeees have been shit for ages, low members, they may have to merge, i reckon, going to be very different rfrom now on.

With NRL on life support, no way AFL will get rid of GC or GWS. They can smell the blood in the water.
If they has to kill a club, it would be Norf or the Aints |

I have no idea when commercial flights will restart but at the current rate nobody will be able to afford them anyway and they can take the Firefly bus instead
One thing I am sure of is the AFL won't give up their $400m TV rights payment that easily, neither will Fox and Betfair let them. If they have to play Nov-Mar and then have short offseason/no Marsh series/delayed season start/4-5 day breaks in 2021, then that is what they will do before they abandon the 2020 season altogether, and the clubs will support it too because they also need to money or the AFL teat to stay afloat. Not sure what's so hard to understand about that

Only because of all the money and picks they got. Take that away and they will collapse in a heap. Financially, which is what we're mostly talking about, they're a basketcase
Having said that, GWS and GCS won't be going anywhere

Yeh, reckon ur right, Gilly wont budge on his beloved suns and giants, no mattter how much cash they lose, hes a stubborn bastard, would rather lose millions of dollars then admit he and the League made a mistake, and did not put a team down in Tasmania, a state that actually loves our game, hes as stubborn as a mule, that guy.
