"Crowds aren't only one way to measure success" what a joke.
"TV audiences are healthy", well whoopdedoo, that'll put bread on the table will it, when the SANFL actually pays to be broadcast. And thank **** 55,000 are using the app. That'll bring in a shed load of revenue for each club.
The league is truly lost.
As long as there are idiots like this spruiking this kind of bullshit the SANFL is truly lost.
Reading this shite makes me sadder than England losing to Iceland.
Well said, JTC. Except the bit about Iceland.
Kelly reckons scoring is up 10%. Maybe it is, and statistically speaking its better than if scores were down. But 10% means that in a game last season where a total of 20 goals/120 points were scored, this year the same game would generate an extra 12 points. You could interpret this as both sides are scoring one more goal a game than last year.
Doesn't sound like much in real terms, and hardly demonstrative of 'attractive viewing.' If this is the criterion upon which the rule changes are judged then their inclusion has not been a success (although I think we know the real reason why those rules were imposed in the first place).
