Whilst the AFL will do everything it can to try and not see a shutdown with 4 States introducing closed borders now it’s only a matter of time it would seem.

It would be a good outcome for us. Chance to regroup and get some players back from injury.
 
This could be the ultimate free kick to Geelong if they ever need to base teams out of Greater Melbourne and play games at Geelong, Ballarat, Wangaratta etc. Teams could fly in/out of Avalon if interstate travel permits.
 
Would be a terrible result. Clubs would continue to take huge financial hits and there would probably be more spending cuts to compensate.

Victoria will shut their border to Qld, NSW and WA tomorrow. It will be a logistical nightmare from then on.

A situation makes the way the AFL draw was prepared incompetent . Over the first 17 rounds each team needed to pay every other team.
A situation of potential season shortening was always a possibility

Perhaps Brad Scoot would lose his position as Competition Evolution Manager.

To be honest - the AFL going to the wall doesn't bother me anywhere near what I once thought it would.

The AFL executive are a bunch of disgusting human beings.

So do we know where we’re playing in three days’ time? Newspapers saying GC are confident the game can be played in Queensland, despite Palaszczuk saying today they were on the verge of lockdown.
 
SA and Vic in lockdown. SA teams on their way here. AFL running out of options.

And the timing couldn't be better. Ch7 won't mind a 2 week delay in the season so they can focus on the Olympics.

And two more weeks might make this year's Norm Smith medal legitimate.
