But only the Bloods' A-squad and 17-and-under players have opted to return to training.

Coach Jannelle Hobbs said her players had made the most of an unprecedented situation, but admitted staying motivated had been tough.

"We've enjoyed getting together, but when there's not a game on the end of it, it makes it hard," she said.

"You can't even have a game at training yet, so it's very limited as to what you can do.

"Eventually the motivation is going to wane. When you think we started back (training) in early January and it's now nearly July, it's been basically six months without playing a match.

"I'm proud of the attitude they have and the hard work they have put in, even though there's nothing at the end of it.

"But it is getting to the stage where you just want to know - whether it's a yes or no, it's been dragging on too long now."

Maryborough's Alicia Cassidy, who is still yet to coach the Magpies A-grade team in an official match, seven months after her appointment, believed the wait had been draining on players.

"We have been training once a week to keep the dream alive I guess ... to keep people interested and to keep the social side of things happening," she said.

"But some clarification would be nice. It's carrying on way too long and I probably couldn't tell you whether we have got a full list of our whole five sides as we did at the start of the year.

"We've been training in two different in two groups. Some are training with the under-17s at 5.15pm and then we get the older girls in at 6.35pm, following all 23 protocols we have to do each week.

"The girls are enjoying the social side of things and getting together, but we would love some clarification soon."
