These same people are currently inside Marion, TTP, Bunnings etc each weekend. Playing/volunteering/spectating football will just shift all these people back outside and probably at less risk of catching or spreading anything. There would actually be more measures in place at footy clubs to social distance and adhere to all the rules than there would be at a shopping centre which hardly seems regulated now anyway.

The issue is at the shops you aren’t in the vicinity of others for an extended period of time. By walking past someone you have a far less chance of catching Covid19 compared to socialising for an extended period. Q’s point about junior sports has some merit.

It seems a pretty simple solution to me.
Clubs wouldnt need to be operating lights during the week.
It would literally cost them nothing to put junior games on apart from some umpires.
