Kane Cornes would have to join the fire brigade, but i'm sure he wouldn't have the guts.

I'm just asking jeeeeeeeeeez.
Like 'telekinesis'?
I genuinely don’t know
I assume VFL accepted their case and suspended the clubs involvement until wars end
A lot depends on what insurance the AFL, and/or the clubs, have in place and the circumstances driving season cancellation. Quite likely a lot of clubs - at a guess anywhere from six to twelve - would not survive.
The AFL could be down a huge financial hole (maybe as high as half a billion dollars depending on negotiations; having to pay back/not receive broadcast rights money, still having to pay for ground contracts, etc) and therefore unable to assist. So much of the fallout would depend on the insurers and negotiations with creditors. Maybe it would be little, maybe it would be catastrophic.
I'm guessing the AFLPA wouldn't enforce the salary cap floor, and match payments, performances bonuses, etc, wouldn't be paid - but base contracts probably would still need to be. The head honchos at AFL House would no doubt receive a "stress payment" bonus.
Anything that caused an AFL season to be written off - other perhaps than certain grounds being unavailable - would probably cause Australian leagues (at national and local levels) of other sports to do the same. It seems unlikely there would be many people change from one sport to another in terms of attendance - international leagues that continued would probably get increased Australian viewership though.

thank god preseason is almost over.
Things don't get much better in real season. It just moves onto umpiring rants, and around May SoO comes up because RL is doing it, along with "where are X at".

If it was just the AFL season cancelled people would say they are going to go back and support the VFL, WAFL, SANFL, country footy and then not.
I'd like to think without the dangerous vortex of footy at 11.45, 12.20, 2.45, 5.10 and 5.25 each Saturday (all WST) I'd be a lot more productive, but that's optimistic.

So what is the answer?Was hoping for at least a couple of replies before this one

High correlation between thread topic and OP's avatar. A good nuclear spill might cause more than 1 season delay.
