Sandringham is standing down all its employees ahead of an expected financial squeeze brought on by the later start to the VFL season.

And the Zebras face the prospect of being without players and coaches from their alignment partner St Kilda when the season does begin.

The kick-off to the VFL season and all other state leagues has been postponed until after May 31.

The club said today it was standing down its staff from Friday, April 3, until when it was notified the competition would be resuming.

Just read this in Rupert's Rag, got any legs???

Have we seen the last of the VFL as we know it, depending on what happens in 2020?

The five stand-alone teams in Coburg, Frankston, Port Melbourne, Werribee and Williamstown are preparing for a 10-team VFL competition that could include suburban powerhouses such as Vermont, Keilor and Balwyn, and potentially Box Hill, Preston and Sandringham.

That would leave 10 Victorian-based AFL teams to compete in a reserves competition.

AFL have just released a statement that no state league football will be played until at least May 31

Quarter Time 

Nth Blues 2-2(14)

Frankston 0-2(2)

Tonight's Northern Blues vs Frankston game at Ikon Park will be played behind closed doors.

I understand this will apply for all games this weekend due to coronavirus.

I'm not sure what can be said... It was one of the most under-whelming games of football I can recall. I was trying to think of something memorable or a stand - out, but the best I can come up with is no injuries.

The Kangaroos finished 3 goals up at the final siren.
