Not to mention the clubs getting a leg up on the competition by pushing the boundaries on rules regarding training number and distancing legalities, due to the lack of clarity surrounding said rules. i have already driven past multiple ovals in my area and couldn't help notice the number of players on the ovals and lack of social distancing.
I love footy as much as the next bloke but surely amateur footy is a long way down the list of importance to get back up and running in the state in my opinion.

I`m unsure why so many people are so worried about the crowds at local footy.
90% of the crowd at a local game is either a player, a volunteer or a direct family member of one of them so you would miss maybe 10% revenue from a general crowd if they were unable to come to the game
In relation to the canteen and bar..... there has been no decision on this and if Café and restaurants are able to serve alcohol from the 8th of June at the latest and there has been fish and chip shops along with other fast food places open then there will be no reason the canteen at a club wont be able to open.
Lots of negativity around wanting to scrap a season without looking deeper into it IMO.

If I can't sit around in the changerooms with my 20 mates after winning a game in shit weather, having some shower beers and talking shit, before going back into the club and getting on the cans til midnight before singing Horses with 50-60 people at the end of our function, not sure I really want to do it either. If I wanted to just rock up, play, go home, I'd have been a paid mercenary a long time ago (subject to there being a club stupid enough to pay me money).
The two hours on the ground is only a small part of it IMO.

For community clubs its going to be a nightmare.
Restrictions may relax a bit as we get closer to playing but the directions as they stand right now are going to be difficult to manage.
Clubs with big junior programs are going to need other venues to train putting a bigger strain on clubs.
Just like all of us I want to see sport back but not at the expense of burning out good people who volunteer every year.
Some associations may just put up the too hard sign and forego the year.

If clubs choose to do this they will be signing their own death warrant.
