The Standard | Football and netball's coronavirus-forced hiatus will now definitely extend until at least May 31.
A statement from AFL Western District on Tuesday night said the initial wait and see" approach - which left the door ajar for an unlikely May 1 return - found it was both unachievable and not permitted under current restrictions.
AFL Western District will meet again in mid-May to "monitor developments" and assess the likelihood of an early June start.
