All 1,240 AFL and AFLW players will receive a call from the AFL Players' Association to be briefed on the situation regarding the 2020 season fixture in preparation with the COVID-19 situation.
The AFLPA are aiming to receive as much feedback as possible in regards to the league's plan to continue the season despite the growing crisis of the coronavirus.
The AFL is hoping to fill as many games into the short-end of its fixture in hope of combating the likelihood of the spread bringing the season to a halt in due time.
AFLPA CEO Paul Marsh is hoping to speak with representatives from all 18 clubs prior to the league-wide teleconference.
The AFL may force players to not only play behind closed doors, but to play multiple games each week, with a level of approval likely to be required from the playing cohort first.
The AFLPA have noted that no player should feel the need to take part within the season if they do not feel comfortable to do so.
While round seven of the AFLW season is set to go ahead at this point in time, the AFL is searching for the best viable option to aid the commencement of the men's season.
Several options are at hand for the league, with the potential of playing five games across the opening three weeks having been discussed. This could open the opportunity to see shorter quarters, no interchange cap, increase in bench players and potentially another mini-draft to boost numbers for each club.
