Smack bang in the middle of the day on a Sunday when all the metro kids play doesn’t help either.

Kids getting in for free should help quite bit.

You’d think, if they aren’t playing around the same time.
Kids games start at 10, 11:30, 1:10 & 3, a good ploy in theory but a redundant move nonetheless to get some extra heads there.

The games F*****D at AFL level
Im surprised anyone wastes their money going to watch the tripe some of the teams, coaches and umpires serve up
Just so much inconsistency in the application of the "Grey as F**K" rules Steve Hocking and his cretins implement into the game just to justify their positions, makes the game more like X Lotto as to which way decisions are going to be paid.
The deliberate out of bounds rule or is it the didnt try to keep the ball in hard enough rule is sheer lunacy. Simply take the GREY out of it and adjudicate it like the SANFL and Country leagues do. Simple !!!!

Fair to say Kenny must have given one of his dummy speech talks to the players at half time, plus getting 12 frees in the 1/4 helped a little ;)
