2022 AFL season#Round 5

The 2022 season was played during the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic and was the last season to be directly impacted by it. At the start of the season, the roll-out of Australia's vaccination program was almost complete with 95% of adults vaccinated to a two-dose standard and about 50% having received a booster;{{cite web|url=https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2022/03/covid-19-vaccine-rollout-update-10-march-2022.pdf|date=10 March 2022|access-date=12 March 2022|title=COVID-19 Vaccine Roll-out|publisher=Australian Government}} and across all states except for Western Australia, practically all social and interstate travel restrictions which had been in place through the latter half of 2021 had been lifted;{{Cite news|author=Ben Westcott and Caitlin McGee|title=Australia moves to lift Covid-19 restrictions amid surge in Omicron infections|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/14/australia/australia-omicron-covid-outbreak-restrictions-intl-hnk/index.html|access-date=2022-01-04|website=CNN|date=15 December 2021 }} Western Australia maintained some restrictions into the start of the season.{{cite web|url=https://www.wa.gov.au/government/covid-19-coronavirus/covid-19-coronavirus-what-you-can-and-cant-do|title=Public health and social measures in affected areas|date=6 March 2022|access-date=12 March 2022|publisher=Western Australian government}} Cases of the virus, particularly the Omicron variant which became dominant in December 2021, were widespread in the community for the first time in the pandemic; and confirmed cases and their close contacts were still required to test and isolate, although for shorter periods than earlier in the pandemic.{{Cite web|date=2021-12-31|title=Australia's Covid surge in four charts: NSW now has one of world's highest infection rates|url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/datablog/2021/dec/31/australias-covid-surge-in-four-charts-nsw-now-has-one-of-worlds-highest-infection-rates|access-date=2022-01-04|website=the Guardian|language=en}}

The main impacts of the pandemic to the AFL season were:

• The league implemented a vaccination policy requiring all players and football department staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19;{{cite web|title=NO JAB, NO PLAY: AFL releases vaccination policy|date=21 October 2021|access-date=15 January 2021|author=Damian Barrett|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/685424/no-jab-no-play-afl-releases-covid-19-vaccination-policy|publisher=Australian Football League}} equivalent requirements were implemented by some state governments.{{cite web|url=https://coronavirus.fairwork.gov.au/coronavirus-and-australian-workplace-laws/covid-19-vaccinations-and-the-workplace/covid-19-vaccinations-legislation-and-public-health-orders|title=COVID-19 vaccinations: legislation and public health orders|date=14 January 2022|access-date=15 January 2022|publisher=Fair Work Ombudsman}} Two players – Liam Jones ({{AFL Car}}) and Cam Ellis-Yolmen ({{AFL BL}}) – resigned as a result of the mandate.{{Cite web|last=Niall|first=Jake|date=2022-01-24|title=Brisbane Lion becomes AFL's second anti-vax player to lose list spot|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/brisbane-lion-becomes-afl-s-second-anti-vax-player-to-lose-list-spot-20220124-p59qwl.html|access-date=2022-01-24|website=The Age|language=en}} The AFL's mandate was lifted in July, on a similar timeline to those of the state governments.{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/798874/play-on-afl-vaccine-mandate-lifted-for-players-and-staff|title=Play on: Vaccine mandate lifted for players and staff|date=14 July 2022|access-date=23 July 2022|author=Josh Gabelich|publisher=Australian Football League}}
• A player top-up list and policy was put in place to cover the event of a substantial portion of a team being forced into isolation. Each club could nominate twenty top-up players from their affiliated state league and reserves systems; those players would become eligible to play if fewer than 28 main list players were available due for COVID-19 reasons, but would not otherwise be contracted to the club.{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/716396/monster-top-up-lists-are-on-afl-confirms-covid-contingency-plan|date=9 March 2022|access-date=12 March 2022|publisher=Australian Football League|title=Monster top-up lists are on: AFL reveals COVID contingency plan|author=Callum Twomey}} The Western Australian government's tighter restrictions on isolation for close contacts early in the season meant that state's clubs saw greater COVID-19 impacts, and {{AFL|WC}} was the only club to draw on its top-up list, doing so twice.{{cite news|url=https://thewest.com.au/sport/fremantle-dockers/west-coast-and-fremantle-tighten-covid-19-contingencies-as-east-coast-cases-rise-c-7523466|title=West Coast and Fremantle tighten COVID-19 contingencies as East Coast cases rise|date=14 July 2022|accessdate=28 August 2022|newspaper=The West Australian|publication-place=Perth, WA}}
