Syd Uni was comical, but suspect more so with NEAfL push backs

Usual agenda set up where it is about engaging but we are doing as we please.

Is a season viable? Are clubs better off working together to raise funds and focus on 2021?

My thoughts are a season where clubs stand now they will be worse with AFLs proposal

No doubt thousands ... maybe. 10 opinions but something doesn’t sit right.
The silence from Sydney AFL is actually deafening. Where did you get 65% of fees figure from. If the AFL was serious about a resumption of local football the would waive the fees.

A resumption will send large numbers of clubs broke across the country.

How many clubs rely on pubs, clubs and small businesses for sponsorship that will now see little or none of their pledged money due to the financial downturn associated with the virus?

We have lost one major sponsor that has gone into receivership due to the effects on the financial markets.

How much lost revenue will clubs face due to restrictions around canteens and bars that we will likely face?

How will clubs main social distancing in the change rooms?

What extra measures surrounding cleaning will be required and what will the costings of compliance come in at?

Has NSW Sport and Rec agreed to make a directive around start and finish dates for winter and summer sports to ensure that grounds will be available?

The list of questions is never ending.
