This is not going to end/start well...
If the AFL and League season could play on when states borders were closed, surely the a-league can come to some adhoc arrangement.
The AFL especially pretty much organised their whole season on the 'fly', yet still managed to play most games in front of crowds. Even if they had to relocate all their 10 Victorian teams.
All the European football leagues are having to postpone games, as Covid cases pop up amongst various teams. FFA/NLWG will just have to deal with the draw and make changes week to week in need, until this Sydney outbreak is contained.
In week 1, Nix are due to play in Brisbane, and Melb City are in Sydney (against SFC). Makes some sense now for Melb City to play the Roar instead of the Nix, if they can change flights etc.
For week 1, WSW verus McArthur and CCM verus Jets may also be postponed. Though with the latter game makes sense to move it from Gosford to Newcastle if they can.
