Could we see crowds at AFL games in 2020? It looms as arguably the most important question left unanswered as we approach an official return to football.
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan refused to rule the possibility out in an interview on 3AW.
“I’m just going to be speculating. Where we are today, the health officers and the government will say we’ve beaten expectations,” McLachlan said.
“I don’t know, I know that it’s less likely than likely, but I reckon it is in the hands of the community and how well we continue to socially distance and be disciplined as things begin to open up.
“It’s less likely than likely, but I’ll leave that with the people making those decisions, the government and the health ministers.”
