G'day citizens of The People's Game, and welcome to "The COVID Chronicles" presented by Sporting Chance Magazine.

With Victoria back in Stage 3 lockdown (and potentially other states soon to follow) and with nearly no commutes to listen to full length podcasts, we thought it would be beneficial to touch base with you daily over the next six weeks to chat footy, to help each other get through this challenging period and to hopefully add a few moments of levity to your day.

Today's episode is entitled "Day 0 - Footy Continues" and is a conversation between Gordon Hunter Meredith and co-host Jack Banister about what part of our lives footy occupies in the era of "The New Normal" and whether any positives can come out of the post-shutdown 2020 season.

Please note that this conversation was recorded before the Round 2 clash between Richmond and Collingwood and as such, a few of the COVID protocols may be a little out of date but the sentiments still ring true.

Join us now as we ask ourselves; in these unprecedented times, does footy still fulfil us?

We love to hear your thoughts on what footy means to you in the year 2020. Drop us a line on the Sporting Chance Magazine's Facebook page or on Twitter via @sc_mag_aus
