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.
7. Harry Taylor (Geelong)
Many believe the Cats veteran looks to be slowing down, but Taylor featured in all 24 matches for the minor premiers in 2019.
Taylor is again attached to a one-year deal at Kardinia Park and would have hoped to prove his worth in 2020 to secure an extension.
Taylor has been demoted to fifth string tall-defender behind Tom Stewart, Mark Blicavs, Jake Kolodjashnij and Jack Henry, with the latter swapping the occasional forward role with Taylor when the Cats get desperate.
It's unlikely to see Taylor return to the Cattery past this season, so fingers crossed the league suspension passes soon.
