Local footy in Victoria gets return-to-play date Former Bulldog Tom Boyd is back playing local footy and enjoying it. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced yesterday that contact training could start from July 13 and competition matches from July 20.

Leopold is bracing for a crash in revenue if crowds are locked out of grounds and president Richard Hockley says he would rather not play this season if it meant keeping the club financially stable. Former Bulldog Tom Boyd is back playing local footy and enjoying it.Credit:AAP.

"I do know, some clubs have spoken to me and unless there's a vaccine, they [their players] have got older parents, older uncles and aunts and they're not prepared to go out and risk getting it and then pass it on because of the fatal ramifications. Hesitant: Leopold Football Club president Richard Hockley is not keen on returning to play without crowds. "I've spoken to a few other presidents in the competition and we're not keen, if we can't have a crowd we've got no way to raise any revenue. "AFL will provide a return to play protocol for community league and clubs once it is approved by state government." "If we went seven wins and two losses, that adds up to $27,500 [the revised salary cap for the season].". New customers only.
