With children in home schooling and being isolated from friends, WDJFNL competition management committee member and Turvey Park president Darren Wallett said clubs would love to see every chance given to extending the season deadline.

Earlier this week a deadline of September 10 was set to complete the WDJFNL seasons, as well as the South West Junior Football Netball League, or seasons would be abandoned with no premierships awarded.

The extension of the regional NSW lockdown until September 10 made the original plan impossible, but AFL Riverina has confirmed its board will meet on Monday night to "assess what the lockdown restrictions means for our competitions".

"It's pretty universal, from the people I've spoken to at our club and the other clubs in finals. Everyone's keen to have a finals series, even if it's delayed," Wallett said.

"We just believe it's really important, in particular for the 15 year olds going into senior footy, that we finish the year off on a bright note.

"The general consensus from the clubs would be to plead with the AFL Riverina board to consider pushing it back until after the AFL grand final.

"When you've got kids and they're locked down, if you tell them we're going to try and play a delayed season it would give them a boost while they're in a bit of a lull."

While there is no guarantee health restrictions will allow sport to be played in October, Wallett said it would be disappointing should other codes complete grand finals and Australian Rules and netball players aren't given the same chance.

"The Wagga teams are competing for kids who are playing soccer or league. I think we're at a disadvantage to the other codes if we just cut the season short," he said.

"Even if there had to be a conversation with the cricket association to negotiate a slightly later start (to their season). I think these circumstances provide an opportunity for different sports to work together.

"And if we're worried about cricket grounds, we've got Maher Oval available with no cricket pitch, you've got Gumly Oval, there's no reasons games can't be scheduled on those grounds."

Wagga Swans president Wayne Mutton supported calls to give every chance for a season resolution to be achieved.

"I've got a 13-year-old boy who would be disappointed (if we don't play again). It's a carrot for them to play finals," he said.

"They're very tough decisions to make, I'd hate to be Rocket (AFL Riverina chairman Michael Irons) and those guys at the moment.

"There's a lot of moving parts we're probably not aware of as a club, but we'd love to get a game of football and netball in.

"From a junior point of view we don't have those issues with match fitness. They're not going to run out and do a hamstring and the standard may not be as high (as usual), but in juniors that's irrelevant.

"Whatever decision they make we'll go with, but I don't think there would be a drama pushing it back.

"If we don't play I think I'm a fan of not awarding premierships, I think that's the best way to do it."
