Coronavirus: could the 2020 AFL season be called off?

Strange decisions by the cabinet. Why is 500 the maximum gathering size? And why does the ban start Monday?

I’m a bit lost.

And I’ve lost like, a lot of (admittedly electronic) money. And I have a business that is going to be heavily impacted...I don’t know what I was expecting but whatever Scotty just told me wasn’t it.

If you employ staff your business will be getting some cash from the government at least, small comfort but better than nothing.

It is an interesting read, quite worrying and also posted a couple of pages back.

Apologies. Just came across it and saw MJP's post when checking my phone.

No need to apologise, this thread, like the whole coronavirus situation, is fast moving.

Government has advised all citizens to not fly out of the country, but leaving it up to individuals.

Gatherings over 500 are banned from Monday
Sharks play Sunday and he’s going ( leadership 101)
Why does it start Monday and not now ?

Presumably to give people time to change plans, make alternatives and have a little bit of notice as a guess. No politician in power or in opposition is going to look great right now. I'm personally happy to wait to the backend of all of this to evaluate the key people and whether their decisions were good, bad or other.

Not sure waiting two days instead of straight away , but we’ll see .

Good question. Seems like strange advice from whomever is providing it. It should be immediate

Well if if COVID-19 teaches us anything it may be that karma is a real and actual thing.

Because Coranavirus has the weekend off?

Confirmed.

Then it will be on a week by week decision based on government and medical advice. The AFL have pointed out that they have 2 byes and there are 2 weeks before the Grand Final has to be played before cricket starts that they can catch up any postponed rounds.

The players wanted to cancel the first two rounds outright or at least postpone them. The Association are really opposed to playing in empty stadiums
