If one Swans player gets it, they'll isolate every player at the club. Meaning no more AFL / NEAFL etc. I can't see how that would be avoidable. I presume a similar rule would apply at other clubs, so once any AFL player has it, they'll have to close things down for a minimum of 2 weeks.
My understanding is the virus can spread from (1) greater than 15 minutes face-to-face contact with an infected person or (2) the sharing of a closed space for more than two hours with them. I think AFL players would meet those criteria.
