Based on that 4pm press conference it's looking pretty dire for the A-League until both countries are vaccinated.

AFL & NRL (solely based QLD) seasons continue. 

4 AFL playoff matches this week, with 2 in Tassie and 2 in Adelaide. All with crowds. SA, WA & QLD all bidding to host the AFL grand final.  If ABs go to Perth to play Wallabies they will likely play in front of 60,000.

Here in SE QLD is definitely risk of future Covid outbreaks having such a big QLD-NSW border community. If not Brisbane will host the NRL GF.

Most low risk option for A League would be to start season with hub spread over WA, SA & Tassie. Nix plus VIC & NSW teams having to relocate. Maybe keeping just Roar in QLD, and flying in whoever are their opponents for home games.

I guess delayed season start is another option, but Paramount may not be keen on that at all.
