We'll see how long it goes, but Aussie Rules will try it!

Some slight modifications to the format, but the Australian Broadcasting Company reports that the AFL will try the Australian Rules Football season will begin Thursday night as scheduled.
  • Any meaningful positive test probably shitcans the project - the situation is literally day to day.
  • The game will be shortened from four 20-minute quarters to four 16-minute quarters.
  • And each team will play each other once -- 17 rounds.
  • Empty stadiums until gathering bans are lifted.
I've been at least a distant fan of Aussie Rules since I used to watch them on ESPN many many many moons ago (try my first college!).

The Fox Sports channels have the rights.
