Mid- late November start...
32 games Townsville
20 games Cairns
8 games Mackay
Finals in townsville.
Townsville games split between 2 venues.
Cairns venue will be new pop up bunnings
Start date 12 November, finish date December 20
Not alot of time to get home for Christmas if quarantine still happening.
If you want to be a professional athlete it is the price you have to pay
2-3 games a week will be difficult for a lot of these girls
Wnba players playing 3-4 week should be all good.
Yeah I just hope these players are prepared. Would hate for injuries to happen so close to an Olympic year
I think the referee group will also struggle with 2-3 games a week
Looking forward to it. Opals spots on the line for Tokyo.
Expect the flyers to go undefeated.
When are teams heading to Queensland, if victorians have to isolate for 2 weeks.
do professional sports get leniency
Athletes, coaches, officials and other required personnel associated with the league from areas identified as 'hotspots' will this month arrive in Brisbane and undertake the 14-day quarantine period before relocating to North Queensland. During the quarantine period, teams and referees will have controlled access to training facilities at Nissan Arena in Brisbane.
No exemption based on the media release

QUEENSLAND SET TO HOST 2020 CHEMIST WAREHOUSE WNBL SEASON
And yet the rosters including DPs have not been finaliased a month out.
So 10 players plus 2 DPs?
https://wnbl.basketball/blog/news/wnbl-rosters-to-increase-for-2020-season/
Finals should be best of 3 semi each and best of 3 gf
As stated in the release there are no exemptions for people in hotspots. They will need to serve the 2 weeks quarantine prior and the Perth squad for example will have to quarantine upon arrival back in WA post Hub.
Great for the Perth athletes, having to quarantine when they return to WA which rules out Christmas for them
As per above its the sacrifice of the professional athlete

Most of these women have been training for months , they are athletes they will be fine if managed well and coaches actually use their benches

Yes exemptions.
Vic teams will be in quarantine , they have 14 days mandatory , not sure about the rest but would imagine if they are not on the Qld Government list of exemptions, then they will quarantine too
Vic teams leave shortly

Southern based teams will also need to acclimatise to the humidity up north , hope they have factored that in

So many questions...
The need for a Mega-hub? Aren't some states relaxing their borders? Obviously Melbourne and Perth are out, but couldn't they play across the others?
Why FNQ? Even if all in Queensland, why not Brissy, GC, etc?
Why the need to compress the season? Where's everyone in a hurry to be?
What happens when there are injuries? Pleyers will get injured, they are more likely to aggravate injuries playing such a compressed timetable, and less likely to recover for the next game

The tough scenario is any players whom are from WA will need to isolate for 14 days upon return, meaning iso for Christmas Day and New Year's!

West Australians returning from Queensland can self isolate at their home, and can still be in the company of other house members. So they won't be totally alone for Xmas.
Why the need to compress the season D2.0? Really?
Because clubs are bleeding money under normal circumstances. Now no home games for 7 teams, means less sponsors, game receipts etc.
Also 7 teams away from family, work (most players aren't full time) etc for 6 weeks
Lots of good questions, this isn’t one of them
It's called Queensland government funding Daz. It’s not a difficult concept.
Great gives me something to watch and get interested in, can't wait.
It will only be on Kayo if someone produces a package

Well they were obviously have as it's going to be on Kayo, plus some games on Foxtel
PL: KRE out, KS in
Not exactly like for like. You sure you got your facts straight?
The press release only says broadcast details coming soon
This is going to be great! Hopefully all the games will be either live-streamed or on tv

What happens to our memberships
Good question, perhaps the clubs who have accepted memberships could include a free Kayo access for the duration, it would be something at least, but these clubs need the memberships , it's not like they are that expensive to begin with, so maybe just get behind your club for this season, just because you want to see the WNBL continue
Boomers membership pack has 2 months of Kayo and claims you can watch every game live! That's exciting!

Fox sport is reported to be going to show 4/5 games per week as well.
Sad it's taken a pandemic to get WNBL on TV

Yeah Kayo works on Chromecast. You can't do the multiple screens thing, but otherwise works well.
Conti to Southside - on Liz cambage Instagram
Is she 10th man?
Cram

This is actually perfect for Conti as the shortened season wont clash with AFLW
Can she go back as a dp.
They need another big or two.
Bandilovski to bendigo?
Noticed she's in big v, must be another dp.

Conti is likely going in as a DP , they already have Mitchell Lavey , Cole and Blicavs ( née Cummings) as guards/ball handlers, add O'Hea to that as well, they need to sign a big not another guard, they have Pizzey and Jarry but need someone in the 5 spot as backup if Liz goes awol
Lavey is with bendigo
Should be
Mitchell/clydesdale
Cole/blicavs
Ohea/Jarry
Blicavs/pizzey
Cambage/C?
Dp
Conti
Pf or c dp
