Football is. Fragmented - it’s been a very confusing 2020 and the impact it has had on Football in Victoria has been massive. The cancellation of the NPL season due to the second lockdown has meant that depending your situation you are either living your life in limbo or taking the opportunity to use this spare time to focus on the other parts of your life. Either way 2020 has not followed a conventional linear path for most of us.
