This isn't needed. Take the rest of the year off, AFL.
How about NO!!!
I hope it doesn't happen. It's been great not hearing about AFL that much anymore.
what is the point of playing a short season?

Coronavirus updates LIVE: COVID-19 cluster emerges at Melbourne meat processing facility; AFL hoping for June rebootIf you suspect you or a family member has coronavirus you should call (not visit) your GP or ring the national Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.
