Footy WAG Rebecca Judd has admitted that it ‘feels weird’ to watch the AFL on TV with no crowd in attendance. 

On Thursday, the 37-year-old shared an Instagram story of herself watching a game alongside her sports star husband, Chris Judd, from their $7.3million Melbourne mansion.  

Last week, the AFL and NRL decided to play games at empty stadiums due to the coronavirus pandemic after Prime Minister Scott Morrison banned mass gatherings of 100 people or more in a bid to combat the illness.
