Preview Looking ahead to 2021

[swingdog]

There's a more than even chance there won't be any more footy in 2020. If we're lucky, we'll get a season in 2021.

What do we need going forward? And how does the club keep this team together over the next 12 months and build for 2021?

Accelerating JK's replacement seems an obvious place to start.

I don't believe that's going to be the case. AFL has already said they are willing to run later into the year if necessary to fit in the 17 games + finals.

I reckon the AFL's dreaming.

What do you base that assessment on?

After going through 6 months of season previewing for 2020 I don't think my mental health is up to a further 12 months of previewing the 2021 season!

Forecasts that the coronavirus will peak in July/August in Australia.

I read the peak was due in May.
It if they've changed this to July/August, you're probably right.

Last flu season in WA we had 10k of emergency department presentations of flu cases and it ran from May to July.

We get anything as bad as that with covid19 on top we are in massive trouble.

I'm sure there's a large number of people turning up to Emergency when they don't need to though.

If we're all practising social isolation and washing our bloody hands we should have far less flu cases over the Winter months anyway.

Here's hoping.
