I was watching the press conference but the phone rang, did he say when/if spectators will be allowed back?

They would have no capability of making that prediction as yet.

Any announcement over whether Adelaide, PA, WC and Fremantle will play 2 home games in QLD vs each other each and 4 away games there (2 away vs Bris/GC and 2 away vs Adel/PA/Fre/WC)?

:think:
 
21 new cases in victoria today and the afl just cant bring themselves to move it to a state thats covid free.

Well unless any of the AFL players have been to a Maccas in Melbourne's north or been to a Meat processing plant recently, I'd say the AFL is as good as gold!
