is this possible?

In my code I would love to pull the sub fields from a previous post if the current post has no subfields in the same repeater.

$speakers = get_field('event_speakers');
if( $speakers ){ 
     foreach( $speakers as $speaker ): 
	if (get_field('speaker-front-page', $speaker->ID)){
            if ($i % 3 == 1){ 
                $speakerdiv = 'av_one_third first';
	     }else{
	         $speakerdiv = 'av_one_third';	
	     }
 
            echo '<div class="flex_column '.$speakerdiv.' flex_column_div">';
            echo do_shortcode("[av_image src='". get_field('speaker-photo', $speaker->ID)."' attachment='' attachment_size='full' align='center' animation='pop-up' styling='' hover='av-hover-grow' link='".get_the_permalink($speaker)."' target='' caption='' font_size='' appearance='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff'][/av_image]" );
            echo do_shortcode("[av_heading tag='h2' padding='10' heading='". get_the_title($speaker->ID)."' color='' style='blockquote modern-quote modern-centered' subheading_active='subheading_below' subheading_size='15']". get_field('speaker-company', $speaker->ID)."[/av_heading]");
echo '</div>';
	     $i++;
	}else{ 
	    //else if speaker is not front page do not show
	}	
    endforeach; ?>
    </div><div class="clear"></div>

    <?php
} else {
// here would be the code to pull the subfields from the previous post
}?> 
<div class="clear"></div><hr />

$speakers = get_field('event_speakers');
if( $speakers ){
  // ... snip
} else {
  $prev_post = get_previous_post();
  if ($prev_post && get_field('event_speakers', $prev_post->ID)) {
    $speakers = get_field('event_speakers', $prev_post->ID);
    // repeat of speaker loop code here
  }
}
