South Australia has seriously hampered the Australian Football League’s season restart timeline. This is after they told the League that no quarantine exemptions will be given to players from Adelaide and Port Adelaide.
This ruling was received in a letter published by The Australian, penned by the Chief Public Health Officer for South Australia, Nicola Spurrier, and the Commissioner of Police, Grant Stevens. It was addressed to the AFL as a whole.
There has been growing confidence that SA would lift its border restrictions and so provide its AFL teams with the required exemptions to help the seasons get restarted, but these hopes have now been dashed.
The letter stated that, on public health advice, the committee has decided that any economic and social benefits that would be gained by allowing modifications to or exemptions from SA quarantine requirements for AFL players and staff were not worth the risk to public health. This means that the Crows and the Power will need to join Fremantle and West Coast in moving to a new base to get the season up and running.
The letter went on to say that the government acknowledges that players and staff may have to travel to a different location in the medium term for the AFL to restart fixtures according to its preferred time frame. Training plans will also have to be rescheduled because both of SA’s teams are forbidden from making contact until Monday the 8th of June.
