As communities await dates and details about the easing of restrictions, the AFL is expected to indicate this week what the next steps are for all levels of the game.

Wooden said they'll be on board with whatever it takes to get back to playing.

"I don't see us getting a month training together to lead into it, if there's already talk of pushing the finals back. There'll be dates we'll have to fit in with and even if it's only one week's notice before round one that we get to train together, the boys would be happy to do that," Wooden said.

"I think it's important to keep being positive and hope for the best outcome that a season will go ahead.

"There's no point being negative about it. It is what it is and we're all dealt the same cards so we're just trying to keep a positive spin on it here."

Wooden agreed with AFL Southern NSW regional manager Marc Geppert that the big picture matters.

"To see the community get up and about and back to doing what they normally do, that's the biggest thing," he said.

"It's definitely not just about us getting out and having a kick. That's a good side of it but these towns survive on the football season coming around. Especially with some people losing their jobs and things like that, some footy is better than nothing.

"It will bring a bit of light to a few people, not just the players."

Temora have a travelling Canberra contingent including best-and-fairest defender Max Richardson and gun goalkicking recruit Tom Faul.

The Kangaroos have had preliminary discussions with contracted players about the prospect of a reduced salary cap. The Farrer League limit could be as low as $22,000 - a quarter of the original ceiling - if only half a season is played.

"There hasn't been a player that's asked me what they're going to be paid now," Wooden said.

"I've spoken to contracted players to give them a heads-up and they say, look, we just want to play footy when we can and if it's safe to play.That's where it's been in their minds.

"People just want to see it up and going. And if it can get up and going, that's good.

"Obviously the salary cap will have to be a discussion we have with contracted players because what we signed players for, they won't be getting. But we can't go any further with that just yet, because we haven't got the detail of what the salary cap will be.

"But our guys want the season going. We've got a big group chat going and they're all keen."

Wooden said the prospect of a shortened season, and a potentially limited preparation as a team, can be a motivating factor when players are responsible for their own individual fitness.

"We've been trying to train as much as we can by ourselves so that if the league does say, 'You've got two weeks til round one', we're not that far behind," he said.

"I've explained to the boys, in a shorter season if we only play one round (of home and away games), you wouldn't want to lose a few games due to fitness.

"I've tried to keep a real positive spin on it that way that: 'Look, the season could go ahead and if they say we're going, then we're going.' If it goes the other way, well, we haven't lost anything."

Wooden said the pressure to reduce salary caps could provide the correction country clubs needed when it comes to player payments.
