Things could change rapidly in the coming weeks but anyone see football going ahead? Would be questions marks on comps like KNTFL, Mallee & Western Borders than play clubs absed in Vic.

Both the clubs and the league agree on this.
The league get the gate which is around 12k a week and clubs need it for obvious reasons and most importantly the social side of things as most clubs are in farming community’s with no pubs and footy clubs are the only place they can catch up with friends,mates and family.
I’m a footy nut, committee member and coach but I just can’t see a ball being bounced this year.

Have you done the numbers of the gate as 90% of gate takings are from football and netball players, volunteers or direct family members of them whom will still be allowed to attend
In relation to bar and canteen the canteen will still open as do cafes and delis now with takeaway
The bar would more than likely open in July which would be 2-3 games in so hardly crippling
So possibly the bigger issue are players being paid telephone numbers to play who when asked if they would play for the love.....we all know the answer there.

Unless that number is increased to 1000 i cant see any senior football being played. Juniors may start sooner than we think, around the time that the AFL starts

Junior footy will be played, senior footy wont, way too many obstacles.
The SANFL will mandate that nobody gets paid to protect the SANFL since they are having a zero salary cap. As a result of this some clubs in further away leagues will not be able to fill teams as their imported players and locals who return home each weekend will not do the long hours of travel for free. No league or the CFL will want to be responsible for any club folding. Its all in or not at all imo.

CFL clubs will still have a salary cap although it may be reduced, travel & incentives payments will be unaffected

I think the comment about the Gov would not be preparing teams for a season without looking at obstacles and getting feedback from clubs is spot on. If they are asking us to get back to training there will be support from the Gov to make it happen. Lets face it there has been billions of dollars handed out in other areas and if they are saying how important community football and sports are then i`m sure they will make it happen and give the clubs support where they can.

I think there's a lot of merit in the highlighted line, a very probable outcome.

All that needs to happen at junior games is encourage parents and families to not congregate all in one spot, spread out all around the oval.

I'm assuming a private school mate? Inter-school sport still off the table in DfE schools.
