Up to clubs, but you'd think a break for a little while at least - no value in training right through until June.
Yeah agree with that

There are simple measures you can all take to ensure that your level of fitness doesn't suffer as a result.
Any club that has a PT or an official fitness coach would be able to whip something up that can be done individually for the time you're not training

Will they be covered by any kind of income protection if they had it?
They cant honestly be serious, no one is giving them a mortgage based on football income.
If they are genuinely concerned they now have Thursday nights and Saturday arvo's off to go get another job.

I for one go camping every October long weekend and the 5 days of pure relaxation, plus a lot of beer and red wine, brings closure to football for another season.
I don't give a toss about players who earn a bit of coin or businesses that profit from community footy. Community footy wouldn't exist without the club and league volunteers and everyone just has to deal with this whilst staying within the parameters of our normal season. Tough titties if we have a half season or maybe no season at all. A global pandemic takes precedence I'm afraid.
The Victorian Metro decision is just a little less cautious, but possibly naive, and they are only prepared to declare 2 May as the end date of their postponement and that they will re-convene on 14 April to review that date.

I assume you are talking about the SA Footballer page. I don't follow it though

I don't see the need for an attack on him. I'm 35 and don't have much football left in me. I'd love to play as much football as possible this year. I'm also on the committee of my club.
To say that what he has done shows no consideration for volunteers and committee people is a gross over generalisation. What you are saying is just that you don't like the idea. It's a valid opinion but no more than that.

i call Bullshit
You don't follow it but you're offended at someone voicing their opinion about it.

Cricket has already been heavily impacted with finals cancelled. That's revenue lost. Why should footy take precedence?
If footy wants to continue playing for longer, good luck finding ovals to play on!
