Season 2020

[Norris Lurker]

Probably still several weeks from training and a bit longer till we get a game day in. But looking more likely that it will happen this year.

If they ever got on the park it will be a lopsided competition.
Swans & GWS to pull out of the NEAFL.

all afl clubs out of Neafl, should be dommed, they cant be sending state teams to qld and back and spending money when they letting staff off left right and centre

It will be interesting to see what they do with those Swans and Giants players that don’t get an AFL game if NEAFL is not going.

Without the AFL reserves, who knows how the NEAFL plays in 2020. The AFL's not going to pay for Sydney Uni, Eastlake and Queensland teams to fly around; plus would NEAFL players get an exemption to Queensland's closed borders.

And if there's no NEAFL, the knock-on effect to our league would be significant.

Certainly a lot of questions still to be answered before we can see any community football in 2020.
If football does get the go ahead will spectators be allowed to attend?

Lots of questions to be answered, that I don’t think will be able to be answered in time for a meaningful season in 2020 to occur.

Write off the year and come back November for 2021.

At the grounds we play on, it wouldn't be possible to stop them.

No NEAFL would give Sydney Uni a pretty strong team - although they might struggle with the points.

Thank goodness for the points system!

What’s this space after tomorrow night, agenda point on points. I think they will come up with usual line “we have determined”

[5yearplan]

Early points.....

We have determined AFL agenda pushed on clubs..... no surprise here

Pushing for a half season.

Pushing for clubs to pay fees for 65% affiliation fees for 50% of a season

Umpires want full pay, no concessions

Syd Uni was comical, but suspect more so with NEAfL push backs

Usual agenda set up where it is about engaging but we are doing as we please.

Is a season viable? Are clubs better off working together to raise funds and focus on 2021?

My thoughts are a season where clubs stand now they will be worse with AFLs proposal

No doubt thousands ... maybe. 10 opinions but something doesn’t sit right.

The silence from Sydney AFL is actually deafening. Where did you get 65% of fees figure from. If the AFL was serious about a resumption of local football the would waive the fees.

A resumption will send large numbers of clubs broke across the country.

How many clubs rely on pubs, clubs and small businesses for sponsorship that will now see little or none of their pledged money due to the financial downturn associated with the virus?

We have lost one major sponsor that has gone into receivership due to the effects on the financial markets.

How much lost revenue will clubs face due to restrictions around canteens and bars that we will likely face?

How will clubs main social distancing in the change rooms?

What extra measures surrounding cleaning will be required and what will the costings of compliance come in at?

Has NSW Sport and Rec agreed to make a directive around start and finish dates for winter and summer sports to ensure that grounds will be available?

The list of questions is never ending.

Picture doing the rounds of Football NSW saying they can go back to training. Cronulla JRL put out a statement saying they don't have anything yet.

Can understand umps wanting to be paid for the games they umpire.

Any updates from those in the know

* With training now allowed what date will we start back
* Any major changes other than a shorter season
* Will there be a modified NEAFL season
* Will a shorter season benefits some clubs more than others - ie will UTS get their interstate players (who are often here for work) to commit for 9 games and be OK

Any updates fromr the Sydney footy landscape would be appreciated.
