Lolz, helping me form an opinion of AFL stories.
I think the AFL are incompetent. I hope one of their ājournalistsā helps me form an opinion as to why they are not incompetent, particularly in light of their projected $20M loss in a year shortly after they signed the biggest broadcasting rights deal of all time.
How much money are they sinking into clubs haemorrhaging money like GWS, the Lions, Gold Coast, St Kilda and the like? How much money lost by putting games at Mikeās stadium? How much to pay for hair stylists for Gil? How many bribes and hush money? Lots of places money can goā¦
Fat Andy ā ā ā ā ā ā this league up. He just had to get football 52 weeks a year and get 2nd teams into QLD and NSW so they always have a game in that state, no matter the cost. 9 games a week ups the broadcasting deal but if you are spending more just to prop them up, whatās the point?
Four less clubs that play one game each per season would be awesome. But itāll never happen.
Apparently the league will lose $20million next year. HAHAHAHA.

I hope one of their "journalists" helps me form an opinion as to why they are not incompetent, particularly in light of their projected $20M loss in a year shortly after they signed the biggest broadcasting rights deal of all time.You do realise that the broadcast rights don't come into effect until 2017? So next year is going to be another loss.
Considering falling attendances, the extended propping up of GC and GWS, plus half the league teams posting a loss this year, Iām surprised itās only a 20mil loss.
How much of the new stadiums in SA and the proposed one in WA are owned by the AFL?
Plus I think the AFL are subsidising the reduced cost of food on Sunday games at Etihad which is not looking like itās been worthwhile.

I thought it was next year, my bad. But still itās not acceptable. Sack these idiots and appoint some proper business people.

Iād rather they avoid āproper business peopleā and move more towards the realm of āsports administrationā people.
I now buy the milk WITHOUT the AFL logo

I used to involved with a local AFL club in NSW, it has fallen on hard times and is effectively shot now, if this AFL ASAGA bullshit hadnt have happened id happily be back involved and without blowing smoke up my backdise the club would still be going.
Its sad, but they destroyed my love for the game, whilst these administrators continue to run the game i will not use my influence to garner support for their dogs breakfast, corrupt, money hungry, competition or its supporters. Surely McDonalds and William Hill ran run local clubs by now?
Soccer is smashing it, league is experiencing some growth, union just added two teams to a local comp and the AFL is leaking players and teamsā¦
Your bed Gill, enjoy your little lie downā¦ you polo playing Flog
BTW Auskick numbers are counted twice, if a child does school program and also at a club thats 2 participants. If the same kid does school program next year, guess what he/she is a new participant

How many of you watched a game (excluding ours) so far this weekend? 99% of you?
I tuned in to Lollingwood v Sydney when I heard the score in the 2nd quarter.
Cathartic.
Yep, nose ā¦ face.
The game today was a fkn cracker.

I might hate the governing body but Iām not suicidal about it.
AFL sucks
The AFLās new propaganda message:
Find this patronising in the extreme. I donāt care how many times the AFL tries to tell me āitās the fanās gameā Iām not buying that BS. Ever. We are not that dumb, itās clearly not our game, itās a cold corporate machineās game where brand image is more important that the reality of the situation. If itās the fans game then why muzzle any fanās voice of dissent? Remember the Melbourne supporters and their $cully signs being removed? I saw an Essendon supporter have staff taking her sign away too despite a supportive message to players. Disgraceful, and not at all about the fans.

My kid wanted to do play soccer instead of Auskick this year and it doesnāt bother me in the slightest.
AFL can nick off.
Thatās scary, glad he is okay.

I gave my kid the option of one or the other.
He chose tap dancing.
Bah; everyone knows the gateway sport to superstardom is ballet*.
- admittedly itāll lead to their demise by PR a quarter of a century later.
