Coronavirus: could the 2020 AFL season be called off?

Re: Coronavirus: could the 2020 AFL season be called off?

How would you guys feel about being away from a young family in these hubs? It's a tricky one.

I have a 3 year old and I would struggle to be away for a month (when that wasn't part of industry when I joined it). I would also feel guilty not being able to assist her mother.

Basically, if I was secure and wealthy, I would try to avoid hubs. I guess making it tougher would be letting team mates down. I wonder how they will get all on board. Will they be okay with it being a choice?

A month is nothing.

I have a 4 and 6 year old, they are driving us insane, where do I sign up?

Ha. I see mine 40% of the time. Maybe a good deal.

I think it comes down to individuals. That's fine too. I do not think I would want to be in the hubs for a month. But I think I would do it out of guilt, screwing team mates livelihoods etc. I would definitely do it if my career or finances weren't very secure too.

Yep, people who are militant about 'staying home' are unlikely to have kids, IMO.

When my kids were toddlers there is no way I would have been going somewhere where I couldn't see them for a month.

Not so much now they are older but I'm guessing they aren't looking for 56 year olds to take up the slack. Although if I weren't a better shot at goal than 90% of the competition I'd be disappointed

I reckon if there was 100 large on the table and an opportunity to start providing for your family again you'd make it happen.

Yeah, it depends on the financial security you have. Also, empathy for team mates who need it.

Any chance of could live on 100 grand for a bit just to see what it's like?

The AFL are aiming for the 2020 season to be completed by 31 October this year. Great new for us considering we are undefeated in Grand Finals taking place in October.

Conor McKenna has tested positive for Coronavirus. Press conference at 4pm est.

He was named in the Essendon 22 for this weekend.

What now? I vote get rid of Essendon and add a Tassie team.

Their game tomorrow will certainly be cancelled. Unfortunately Sydney is already playing so that might take out north as well. Our game next week against Sydney will be highly in doubt I’d say

Bloody Essendon always testing positive to something

Sounds like the league will be suspended for two weeks starting immediately

Re: Coronavirus: could the 2020 AFL season be called off?

You’d expect North, Sydney, Essendon all out of action for at least two weeks.
