He has been the biggest loser in our defence woes. He is not having a great season and whilst I think he has enough quality to break out of his slump I’m not sure I’m keeping him in DT

Who is the next Essendon captain?

Ridley the obvious choice but is there anyone else capable?

The Bombers are obviously struggling but the Essendon pile on is bullshit, the week before it was North and it will be Adelaide's turn next. When a team puts in a clunker they owe the club, they owe the supporters and they owe the sponsors. To the media they owe nothing. The self indignant tone of Gary Lyon, Matthew Loyd and Mark Robinson this week is tiring in the extreme. Seriously, what a mob of ambulance chasers....only existing for someone to get the arse just so they can keep their jobs. Only marginally ahead of lawyers (and a long way ahead of politicians) for mine.

Oh, we deserve it though. Members have been just as brutal on the club and how it is being ran.
Just a total failure on so many levels

AFL in a world of pain

The media/press won’t let on crowd figures (print the crowd numbers you clowns!) down as it doesn’t want to bite the hand that feeds it. Blind Freddy could see there were SFA at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night and other grounds around the country.

AFL force feed AFLW and then pump its chest out making AFLW the highest paying womens sport in Australia. I would love to get 100% pay rise when my workplace doesn’t make a dime.

Community Footy in a world of pain underneath the big fat cat. Players, volunteers and umpires in desperate need.

Good luck to the next CEO of the AFL. Gil might be jumping here before he is pushed. Crowds dwindling, people turning off and the game is not in a great state.

I don't think crowds are a huge issue coming out of the pandemic I think they have been ok. If they are low next year then there are some issues.

Memberships are up
TV viewership is good

No one wants to spend $XXX on tickets, parking, outrageous food prices

Everyone bought blowya Full HD LCD LED Curved TV's during lockdown

Not to mention cost of living pressures.


AFLW needs to play during Summer Monday-Friday at 7pm make it a TV game, I wont watch but its content for the TV Stations in a dud time.

I think all of this contributes as much as anything. While most commentators shit me to tears the game has been all about building the TV package for years, well now the TV package, particularly with big screens and HD, has become more attractive than going to the games for lots of people. The rolling fixture doesn't help planning of away games, either.

At least on TV you have some chance of working out what the free kick was for, arm wave, raised eyebrow, parenthood suggestion, protected zone, restricted zone, no go zone, foot not on boundary line, 666 worshiping, this weeks holding the ball interpretation etc.

Doesn’t help when your season is over by round 5. I’m not spending $1k + to go to Melbourne (on top of $2k memberships) to watch my team jog around half arsed with no effort.
Players don’t give a damn so why would supporters. What it does mean though is that I don’t even watch stuff all AFL anymore. Think I watched less than a quarter total for the weekend
