The Central Highlands Football Netball League season is on hold with the COVID-19 virus having brought sport to a standstill.
Hopes remain that an abbreviated netball season might be able to be played.
If this comes to realisation, let's take a look at how teams will shape up.
After narrowly missing out on a grand final berth in 2019, Buninyong player-coach Meg Gilbert said the club would return stronger in the 2020 Central Highlands Netball League season.

Erin Riley headlines the new additions to the club, which finished fourth on the CHNL A-Grade competition ladder last year. Gilbert said she was a strong player.
"She's a Buninyong girl but has been overseas for the last couple of years," she said.
"She grew up playing with Redan, she's a big tall player and can play in defence or as a goaler."
Riley will be joined by fellow new recruit Isabella Dwyer, who previously played for Newlyn. Gilbert said Dwyer would give the club depth in the centre of the court.
"She probably thinks herself as a defender but she's very versatile too," Gilbert said.
Teenage talent Ruby Hart has also been added after flashing promising potential in 2019. Gilbert said she would be one to watch.
"The young ones are fit and eager to learn and we always try and give them a go if we think they are ready," she said.
The trio will join a Bombers core largely unchanged from 2019. Gilbert said the club had begun training before season preparations were put on hold following the outbreak of COVID-19.
"Everything was going smoothly, we had a really good preseason and were just starting to get into court work which was going well," she said.
After overcoming Rokewood, Buninyong fell to Hepburn by two goals in the 2019 preliminary final.
