    I think it is a huge impact on the younger players. The scratch matches won't be that fierce, and just a relaxed training run

    Can we please not use it as an excuse though. Everyone is in the same boat and other teams are doing just fine.

    Not an excuse at all, I am talking about the whole league.

    Well I mean everyone is sort of in the same boat, but some teams in the boat are doing the paddling. West Coast getting a week off while other teams play 4 games in 11 days is ridiculous, and have Brisbane even had to leave Queensland yet?

    It's fantastic that we have footy as a distraction during this pandemic.

    There are many aspects that make up the AFL that are not fair and will never be fair. The fixture is never entirely fair. The draft is compromised. Richmond get to play 11 games at the MCG in a row. Collingwood travel interstate once in a blue moon. The Grand Final is always played at the MCG. etc.

    However this year is compromised by a factor that we have never ever witnessed before. Living away from home. Training in foreign environments. The normal rituals and routines that make a club tick have been thrown into a tailspin. The advantage of having your normal environment while others are living some new foreign existence is massive.
