AFL 2020 season will restart on June 11 following coronavirus shutdown

personally i think they are going too early

but money talks

both NSW and Victoria (home of the AFL) are still getting daily positive results in testing

i'm not sure how Queensland is going.

i'm very surprised the state govts are giving this plan the thumbs up going on what i'm reading right now.

greed, nothing more by the AFL

they really dont care for player welfare.

so some teams are relocating to queensland?

but acording to the latest, 

Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk closed the border with NSW in March, and she says its possible it won't reopen until September.

so how exactly will these teams play outside queensland without crossing the border?

actually, i havent heard how teams can relocate without crossing borders?

it all sounds very dodgy

and what kind of season can you have with such restrictions in place?

this season regardless of the final result can never be considered part of the AFL history.

why not just give collingwood the old mug now and save us all from this stupid idea.

Thank goodness! That will get Hubs attention, when he's channel-surfing on the lounge on a Sat arvo.

i hear round 2 is a game in ADELAIDE!

**bleep**!

so they want to bring 2 clubs who have been interstate back into SA and possibly bringing the virus with them?

more morons in positions of power!
