Have heard that they are keen to get community sport back on the go as soon as they can , but cannot see how it will work as I believe they are going to still enforce social distancing regulations ie people at grounds to be 1.5 metres apart and also only 100 people at any outdoor venue at the one time . So that would mean playing in front of no spectators , no income to clubs but outgoing expenses like training supplies ( tape etc ) player payments clubs would go broke.
Also when you add up numbers just for footy without considering netball with 2 junior sides and 2 senior sides you have 84 players at the ground so only leaves 16 extras to cover umpires coaches , trainers so can't see how it's going to work for country clubs

Nothing has changed whatsoever since the first email came out.

Later than that do you just go one round and finals
Does this maintain the integrity of the competition
Or
Does it just give us something to do

That would be awesome if it were to happen like that.
But, I can't see us playing any footy at all.
Even if some restrictions get lifted, there is talk social distancing measures will still be in place for some time, I can't see how playing football comes under social distancing.
Could see an outside chance of kids football getting a shortened season going since they are at school anyway, but not adults footy.
Hope I'm completely wrong as I don't have many playing years left but need to be real about it.
On the positive my golf game "should" improve.
