A mass player exodus from at least three Victorian clubs is a live possibility if the AFL is forced to implement long-term hubs again in 2021.
The league has told clubs it will exhaust every possible option before considering long-term hubs for a second consecutive season - welcome news to some players at Essendon, Carlton and Richmond, who would seriously consider leaving their teams and returning to Victoria if their trips were extended beyond two or three weeks.
The issue is in sharp focus at these three clubs because they have a bye in Round 13 and would prefer to return home to spend time with family next week, even if Melbourne is in a lockdown.

The competition is always compromised to a degree, but I'd think with the financial ramifications at play, all bet's are off this season in terms of how much compromise they'd be willing to accept to keeps the $$ rolling in.

If they can limp through the next 3 weeks as sides have the bye rounds then they'll get through, but I reckon one border closure North of Albury and the whole shebang is shutdown.
For instance Port have the bye now, we've got Geelong then the Gold Coast, Geelong (Port, obviously) then the Bulldogs, wouldn't surprise if Port/Geelong bunker down for 8 days on the Gold Coast and play both games up there.

Would be some pretty good publicity for the state you'd think?
