The AFL season has been suspended until at least May 31st as the coronavirus continues to spread, forcing league officials to decide on bringing each clu'bs 2020 campaign to a halt after one round.
Across the first round of this season, many teams flexed their promising starts to the new year before having the season drawn to an indefinite close.
For many seasoned veterans, round one of 2020 may have been their last game, as the postponement period remains a chance to stretch deep into the calendar year and potentially force the season to be abandoned.
The conclusion of 2019 saw 35 AFL players call time on their careers, and with this season's finale potentially having already past, we may see more join them in life after football.
For many of these players, they will wish to play on past 2020 in hope of a fitting farewell, while others will be pushed to the exit as the clubs prepare to face financial strains at the hand of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A number of players will see 2020 as their final chapter in the league as an unforeseen conclusion remains at hand.
4. David Mundy (Fremantle)
Another veteran who is without a contract past this season, the Freo vice-captain may face a battle against fitness and time.
Mundy missed his side's round one loss to Essendon with a leg fracture and will be keen to return to the field this season if the AFL finds time to continue.
It's hard to say Mundy is slowing down, but at 34-years-old he is well into the twilight of his career.
With a host of young midfielders eyeing for more minutes at the heart of Justin Langmuir's side, Mundy may struggle to return to the same role he had created alongside Nat Fyfe.
