If there has to be that much deliberation and tension in the meeting it sounds like the decision is already made. Does a decision have to be unanimous across the clubs to play? If that's the case then that decision is never going to happen. The clubs hosting finals won't want to lose cash and other clubs won't want to put even more strain on thin numbers of volunteers, many of whom you may lose with no netball. I would be keen to know the key discussion points outside of these 2 factors.
Just hope the kids will at least get to have a kick in some form of carnival. Kids shouldn't be deprived of the chance to play because of monetary decisions.

The member clubs would make the decisions, the APFL Directors need to provide all of the information they have to the club delegates/presidents so they can make the choice of playing or abstaining for the season.
I'd imagine the Directors would prefer the season to go ahead, they just can't hold themselves liable for such a decision.

Taking responsibility is exactly what is expected of the league directors. To leave the decision this long, with no resolution is inept? It really was a simple decision 3 weeks ago! are we playing yes or no??
Netball daylights ahead in their actions, right or wrong they made a call, a good one IMO.

I disagree, the laws are changing nearly daily, they need to take everything into account, what if they demanded the season go ahead there was an outbreak at a game? They would be liable and probably sued.
Clubs have a general idea whether they are playing or not, tonight is their chance to say their piece.
I do think that they should've probably held the meetings the night after the CFB met last week, the extra week would've been handy for all.

It'll be evident very early on in the meeting which clubs are keen and which aren't interested in putting in the effort. It'll be a good reflection of just how well managed some clubs are, and the commitment of their respective committees to trying to make this work.
A competition with 5-6 teams would still be worthwhile, any less is probably a waste of everyone's time.

Clubs are covered under their public liability insurance if an outbreak is somehow linked to a club
Full squad training (stage 4) brought forward a week to June 19th

The return to play model has been up and running for 3 weeks now across Amateur league grades, with their start date 27th (trial games) first round July 4th.
The APFL have not even made a decision yet? This not really fair for the clubs, whom will now be under pressure to in motion alot of moving parts, namely player availability.

The APFL haven’t got a start date at this stage and if they are following the CFL, they can’t pay any players.
How many city based players would have been driving to football training at the moment knowing they will not be getting paid and not knowing if the season will go ahead? Not many I wouldn’t have thought. Doesn’t sound promising clubs and the league.
