Will the NEAFL season continue as scheduled?
State league competitions across the country were postponed until at least the end of May. While some competitions, such as the SANFL, have announced restart dates, the future of the NEAFL remains unclear and a number of options are being explored. The AFL has ruled that senior listed players cannot participate in state league competitions due to the strict return to play protocols, therefore Sydney Swans players would be prevented from participating in NEAFL matches.
When will a decision be made to re-open matches to the fans?
On June 10, the club received confirmation from the NSW Government that SCG dining areas can be opened to allow a small number of members into our Round 2 match. For more information about the member ballot and ticketing process, please click here.

Can I still ask for autographs when I see players?
Given the current environment we need to restrict physical contact with our players as much as possible. Therefore, we’re asking that if you see our players please don’t ask for autographs for the time being. Once we get past this, we will make sure there are plenty of autograph opportunities.
