SportsNewsIreland Brings You The Toyota AFL Fixtures Results & Previews 2020
The first Match Kicks off On Thursday, March 19th 2020
UPDATEÂ : Victorian clubs are considering pulling their involvement in the 2020 VFL competition
In other updates on Saturday from AFL:
“- The AFL was prepared to cram up to six rounds of football into four weeks beyond round one, as a potential measure to stockpile some of the required 198 premiership games before the near-inevitability of the competition being shutdown indefinitely when the Coronavirus outbreaks peaks in Australia;
– There are mixed views among the AFL and its clubs as to what will happen if a player is diagnosed with coronavirus – some clubs believe the competition should be shut down immediately, others have the view that removing that player from the club and closely monitoring all others would allow for competition to continue;”
