You're not just a pretty avatar mate, you've gotta feel for those that run the league's, there will be clubs wanting to go ahead, some not, some fence sitters, they can't please everyone.

And this is exactly why all leagues should be cancelled and the decision has to come from those that run football in this state for the best interests of football in this state.
You cant have the haves feasting on the have nots.
There is talk of 3 YP clubs already out, a couple NE clubs out, these are the smaller clubs within their leagues. Comps simply cant be run with some in and some out.
The easiest decision is scrap it all

Taking the easy decision is such a cop out. Football needs to be winner and the goal has to be to keep the game alive in whatever format it is. It will be so much in 2021 if there hasn't been football played for over 12 months. You will lose more players, sponsors, volunteers, clubs and communities!

That won't happen for most country comps, people will always play footy as its the thing to do in those towns. Country clubs will always get players from the city to, money always talks. The issue will be in 2020 there city players won't be coming so might be hard to fill 2 teams. I think it would be good to still play though but a zero salary cap makes it tough on numbers.

Its not just players from the city that are recruited. Its players that have moved to the city for uni etc and are paid a bit of travel money and a little cream on top to keep going back to their local club in the country to keep the club alive.
Far more country blokes end up playing in the city than the other way, another thing the city comps cant get their head around with all their sooking about losing players to the country.
Putting a freeze on clearances would need to happen if footy is to go ahead

Most country clubs have a dozen blokes coming from the city, without these blokes country clubs will struggle to get an As and Bs. No chance blokes will travel to play for free and fair enough really. Hills would be the country comp that might still be alright without payments.
