I can't find anything in the by-laws about a season being abandoned. Clearly there's no chance of the season re-commencing. My guess is there'll be no premierships awarded for 2021.
It's not really to do with our local footy, but all of us footy lovers must be thrilled that the AFL Sydney teams can play tomorrow - personally, I had been struggling to get my head around no SFL AND no footy on TV this weekend.
There are some seriously clever people working behind the scenes in the AFL to keep the show on the road.
If only I get to see Norris behind the goals wearing his green headband then I'll know there's a God !
So are we prepared to say Season 2021 is done? Personally can't see lockdown ending before October long weekend... thoughts?
Season officially over for both seniors and juniors. No premierships, medals or awards.
Not unexpected, but a sorry state of affairs nonetheless.
I don't think there will be anybody internally rallying for the premiership as such. If Sydney AFL decided to award various grades premierships (I would limit to Men/Women Prem, Ressies, 19s) you would accept it under the circumstances, hardly a celebration.
Unfortunately for some of those players who have long been searching for a premiership (and the club itself), this is the just another chapter in the quest! Even if it was rewarded, it would carry same empty feeling as losing a grand final, left asking yourself what if!
