Why this footy season is even more special

…as we pivot from a health crisis to an economic one, there is a clear role for footy to provide some much-needed respite for our nation. Whatever your team, being able to switch on the television and enjoy the game offers an opportunity to switch off and enjoy the game.

As the players take to the ground, their efforts will be just as much about scoring goals as they will be about providing hope to the millions of Australians who have been rocked by the pandemic. Footy is the narrative of our winters and in 2020 we have never needed it more.
