However, one simply cannot be certain things will play out that way. Thankfully, there have not been massive changes to the fixture as yet, but the Lockdown in Victoria will probably determine that.
One thing that is almost certain to happen, if the Lockdown is lifted, that the VFL team will NOT have a bye next week. There will be two rounds of action to make up.
The football may be on in some capacity here in Melbourne in the next couple of weeks, but there will be no crowds the way things are going, for a while at least. With players worried about been away from family and in hubs, the AFL may have to think about flyin/flyout type scenarios such as what Collingwood are doing in their match against PA.
