I understand why they don't like to go head to head with Port or Adelaide AFL games but I think avoiding these clashes has led to a worse problem, which is that even the regular attendees get out of the routine of going. No one knows when the games are on.
The occasional Friday night game is fine (though not in the dead of winter...) and Anzac Day, Queen's Birthday etc but the bulk of matches should be on Saturday afternoon IMO. Or Sunday afternoon if the figures say that will deliver the best results. Either way, needs to be a regular thing.
I reckon I read in another Crowd thread in the past that Saturday afternoons on average have been the least attended games in recent times?
Yes the integrity lost on the comp by the presence of the AFL reserves sides has impacted, but plenty of other reasons that will come to the fore once the Reserves sides depart. If people think that is the only reason the comp is struggling they are kidding themselves
