Commission chairman John Byrne will lobby the Victorian Government for support in coming days in the hope of countering problems for approaching football and netball competitions.

The move comes only days after the government announced Victorian and NSW crowds would be capped at 1000 and 3000 respectively.

Myrtleford and Wangaratta have already questioned the decision, saying they will be hard-hit financially particularly over Easter.

Byrne, a former North Melbourne premiership player, will write to the government this week asking for concessions.

"I would love a border bubble for sport and can't see why we couldn't do it," Byrne said.

"We did it for the economy and did it for people going to work backwards and forwards across the Murray River.

"I think it's a common sense solution to some of our problems for all the Border leagues.

"If you play footy in Geelong and ring up someone in Ballarat they are under the same rules but with the Border it's completely different which causes a lot of frustration."

AFL NEB hopes to find extra resources to assist clubs with coronavirus protocol including helping man gates.

Region manager Zac Guilfoyle will speak to Ovens and Murray, Tallangatta and District and Ovens and King league clubs this week about the changes.

Member for Benambra Bill Tilley said it was time the government listened to the Border community.

"This feels like Groundhog Day - how many times do we have to tell the Victorian Government about how the Border works?" Tilley said.

"They have to accept that whether you are talking economy, health or sport, our communities are interwoven.

"But here again the Victorian Health Department has reverted to the one size fits all approach, applying Melbourne's situation to all of regional Victoria.

"NSW Health says it's safe to have 3000 at an O and M game without having to apply for an exemption, and given that we are still to see a single case in the Benambra district, it seems to be a "no-brainer" to apply that to a sporting bubble that includes our side the river.

"But then again common sense might have been to pick up the phone to NSW and ask what they were doing in this part of the world in the first place."

Byrne said he could understand the frustration of clubs but urged them to remain positive.

"The most important thing about this year is we must get football and netball going," Byrne said.

"The commission would prefer the same rules on both sides of the Border with crowd caps but that's not the case at the moment.

"I know they are very rigid but sport is intertwined across the river just like the economy is.

"We will try and work through it and keep the pressure on for things to happen."

There will be three tiers in regards to patron capping with 0-1000 (Tier 1), 1000-5000 (Tier 2) and 5000 plus (Tier 3).

Clubs are able to apply to the government for a Tier 2 classification which may take eight weeks to process.
