Be interesting to know how many of those 300,000 have Foxtel.

No only Foxtel but live matches on Ch7.

I tend to agree more with SS, the AFL is killing our game. The worst thing is they are still thinking of making more changes like the bench, zones where you can't enter before the bounce in the centre. They have already but wiped the contest from the game (or heading towards total obliteration)

The most over ruled sport in the world how could anyone new understand all of it? Go back 30 years and there was only about 20 rules now it's over the top and all umpires interpretation so they cover their arse

I certainly can't.

I just rechecked the figures, footywire.com totals are wrong. The total difference, without GWS is 922,000 down on last year.

Alarming figures and yet not surprising.

A few years ago, it was common for most of my social circle to sit down and watch the footy right throughout the weekend. Sometimes we'd even pay to go see a good neutral game.

Aside from watching our own respective teams, there's nobody I know who intently watches the footy anymore. Everybody says the same thing; the game has changed, and it's not for the better.

The footy has now gone in a direction so far away from the grassroots. It is now all about the AFL making a profit wherever they can and not about what's best for the clubs and supporters.
