Because the restriction on school sport is an outcome of broader restrictions on schools. It was about reacting to clusters in schools, not to school sport.Originally Posted by redsox
There have been some restrictions to community sport, but it’s pretty obvious that the government will keep it going if they can.
No doubt this will happen a few more times between now and our grand final days, but how good that we’re still going!!!!
The difference between Sydney footy and most other community sports is the distance covered across greater Sydney for games.
Well at least this weekend is going ahead and hopefully the AFL can find ways to see out the remainder of the season.
Some interesting games tomorrow.
West’s have been going great, but it’s a big test for them this weekend. A win against Penno just about guarantees finals, but lose and they could easily miss.
Sydney Uni vs UNSW will give us a clue about where the top 3 sit.
Footy - wooo hoo!!!
So what happens from now??
NSW Health states - cease activities that result in the mixing of participants from different regions, for exampleby ceasing zone, regional and state competitions
Please implement by 19Aug2020
Has the death knell of 2020 been sounded?
The joint statement signed by the league, they have agreed to not allow travel between "different regions", which appears to be the greater Sydney area..
No spectators at all games over the weekend though?
I agree, season 2020 is finished. Camden playing East Coast (example) would be classified as ‘different region’, which makes the continuation of the season not possible.
All good so far Pekay. We are limiting spectators at Greygums to the allowed 500. Should get over next Saturday when we play Blacktown. As you are aware , vaccines aren't the only things created in test tubes.
Don't follow this comp at all closely and so rarely look here but can't help being impressed by North Shore's impressive percentage on top of the ladder: 783.53. Wow.
Please put a cricket score of them and send them into extinction.
The VFL will merge with the league for the Queensland and New South Wales clubs, and the under-18s system will be revamped in a dramatic reshaping of the AFL’s second tier.
The league announced on Monday the NEAFL would be absorbed into Victoria’s state league competition, with 2021 to be “a year of transition”.
The Victorian clubs as well as Sydney, GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast will be allowed to either field their own teams in the new VFL, align with an existing team or spread their players across multiple clubs.
Interested to see what all the Sydney Uni players end up doing.
They've conceded 14 goals in 6 games, only just over 2 goals a week.
Several factors there. The demise of the NEAFL has helped Sydney Uni, but it's also helped North Shore - there'd been several players from Sydney Uni NEAFL who played occasionally for the Bombers last year but now North Shore have them every week. They also have strong local juniors; and even though they've picked up some handy recruits, they're nowhere near the points cap.
They've got about 500 registered players and fielding 13 teams. Thank goodness for the new synthetic surface - there's no way the old Gore Hill quagmire could have coped with that much traffic, even with the delayed start to the season.
They've still got to get it done in the finals. It's been a problem for them in the last few years.
