NEWCOMB president Matt Farrow says he would be \u201cdevastated\u201d for his club\u2019s footballers and netballs if the 2020 season doesn\u2019t get a start.
\nQuestion marks still hover over whether winter community sport will get under way this year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
\nAn update is expected from AFL Victoria on football next week following the possible lifting of the state of emergency by Premier Daniel Andrews.
\n\u201cAs a committee, we are running a business, and there are significant costs that go into it,\u201d Farrow said.
\n\u201cBut, let\u2019s not lose sight of the players and the community \u2013 they want a season; they\u2019ve done all this hard work.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily about the money for me. We would have paid to the (salary) cap this year.
\n\u201cWe have a good business model in place to support that.
\n\u201cBut, at the end of the day, we can\u2019t lose sight that it\u2019s a game people love as well.\u201d
\nUnlike some clubs across the three leagues that cover Geelong, the Surf Coast and Bellarine, Farrow believes the Power<\/a> would be able to take the field and court without the income that comes from gate takings and food and beverage sales.
\n\u201cIf we get under way and we play 50 per cent (of the season), the salary cap is only $27,500 because it\u2019s down to 25 per cent for nine games,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cFrom that side of things, we can certainly achieve it.
\n\u201cBut to keep the crowd away, how do you keep a person away from a public reserve?
\n\u201cBut how many crowds will be more than 500 at a local game?\u201d
\nLike some of his counterparts across the region, Farrow is concerned players may be lost to the game as they preferred work to kicking the Sherrin around.
\n\u201cYou could lose a whole lot of young kids,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cEspecially those in that under-19 age bracket that are probably working on a Saturday as an apprentice and earning good money.
\n\u201cThen they go to a second year next year and they decide ‘I don\u2019t want to play any more’.
\n\u201cThey could have been a talented footballer but realise they can make more money working on a Saturday than playing footy.\u201d<\/p>\n
