The league was scheduled to host a Zoom meeting with the 10 clubs on Monday night before hosting its own board meeting on Tuesday night.

"At some point in time, we're going to get to the business end where we're going to have to make some pretty drastic calls on what the remaining part of the fixture or the finals series looks like," O and M general manager Craig Millar offered.

The league is currently in its second COVID lockdown.

It lost a fortnight over late May-early June due to Victoria's lockdown and when combined with a scheduled interleague bye, ended up playing four weeks later.

The O and M has just lost the past two games, but unlike the earlier matches which could be slotted back into the schedule, the league has run out of time to have rounds 13 and 14 played.

The league - and indeed the whole of Victoria - is now sweating on whether the State comes out of lockdown at 11.59pm on Tuesday, as planned.

When the Victorian Government declared NSW an 'extreme risk zone', as of last Friday night, it just added another level of uncertainty to sport's return.

O and M chairperson David Sinclair raised the prospect last week of potentially moving straight into finals.

"We would like a run into the finals series, we don't ideally want to go into a finals campaign," Millar said, with four regular games left.
