If the season is scratched will there be relegations?
It’s not scratched.. The best teams are top 3. The worst side is last.
We will miss 2 games imo
He said if the season is scratched and Northcote despite not winning a game are only one game behind Whittlesea.
Nearly beat Nth, so they could still win one.
Ah sorry, it won’t be scratched. We will get out of lockdown to get at least a finals series underway
The last placed club could 100% have a case to not be relegated for next season.
They went into the season under the premise of it being an 18 game, 9 home, 9 away season.
If this isn't met, they will have grounds to not be relegated. Whether they pursue it or not is up to them.

No they entered the season knowing games wouldn’t be rescheduled if called off due to covid...
Got nothing to do with that. What constitutes a season? If we dont get back is there still relegation?
Other leagues have rescheduled their games too. Its all very grey and i wouldn't be surprised at all if they say no relegation.
There will be relegation, we have played enough to know which teams belong down there.
Other leagues have but now what? They can’t catch them up again.
NFNL for better or for worse said it is what it is and for better or for worse will just continue on when they get the chance.

Apparently the Eastern FL may do away with finals if it drags on and award the team who finishes on top the Premiership.
We have the grounds until October 1. I see almost zero chance of that happening, even a 2 week finals series 1v4 2v3 winners into the grand final is possible.

Do suspended players have these wiped out rounds count toward their suspension weeks? If not there may be some very disappointed players!!

Nope they don't. Bundoora had a player get 3 weeks during the last lockdown and the 2 games they missed didn't count. So can't see why the rules would change now
Lol, as if suspensions would count down with games not played. 14 weeks last year, no worries... wouldn’t have missed a game

Not laughing at you, laughing at the original question.

Unless it was a foregone conclusion points wise I can’t see how they could relegate sides if the season was abandoned

Friday before grand final day would be a cracker day to host a granny.
You cant just pick a point in the season and say "Yep, we have seen enough, your going down".
Using Northcote as the example, they havent had the chance to play statistically the second worst team at all this season. We will never know if they were better than Whittlesea in season 2021.
Id imagine the league will be on the front foot with clubs reaffirming their position on this throughout this week
It was stated to all clubs games wouldn’t be rescheduled.
Either way we will be out of lockdown and hopefully play 4 more games before finals.
Riddell League playing on the Friday at this stage
Afl outer east do this as well.
