Footy broadcaster Andy Maher has suggested mid-June is the window the AFL are aiming for to continue the season. Maher floated the idea on his radio show this afternoon. “I'm told Bob, by reliable sources, they've got a date in mind,” he said on SEN Drive alongside co-host Bob Murphy. “It's second week of June-ish. Full bottle toward it. 11 June is a little date that I've been... let's just see where that goes. We'll just keep an eye on it, I didn't want to chase it too hard because how would you know. But I'm told in high offices around the place, people who have a lot riding on this, that 11 June is a date that may have been scheduled in. Whether that's official, I'm not sure."

Unfortunately they’re both right.

Lloyd believes the winner of this year’s premiership will be forever tainted, much like Trent Cotchin and Sam Mitchell’s Brownlow Medal win in 2012.
