It's not all age.

The game is changing and the culture within the game is changing quickly. When a band changes genres they might lose some fans. The AFL is like that, changing styles.

Only having 1 state win premierships is terrible for the game despite what the Vic's say

I don’t think it a age thing I just find it boring as.
A lot of very athletic young guys who struggle to kick a Football.
Watching JHF last week was a step back in time, what a wonderful boot he has.
Now that will bring people back.

has about a million bucks worth of salary to run on his contract. So I guess North are letting the legal system run it's course to get rid of him

IMO young people are only interested in football because of gambling. Many young people have grown up only being interested in afl due to the odds/multis.

AFL like most sports - is played so people can bet.

North don’t have a culture problem my arse!

Funnily enough, my interest in football is increasing as my two sons (16yo & 14yo) are showing more interest in the competition as a whole.
One of them is a stats nerd and constantly telling me stuff about other teams and players so we'll watch games on Kayo to check them out.

My daughter is also showing an interest in playing. One of her teachers is a Crows AFLW player so there's an influence there that is having an impact. We'll see where that takes us.

I used to love the stats aspect when I was a kid

I want Brisbane to do the Dees tonight, they should rebound at home & May is out as well.

The whole AFL industry feels fake, contrived. Things swept under the rug to protect AFL’s image, inequality between Vic and non VIC teams, VIC centric, boring games, pathetic commentators, confusing rules, inept umpires, stupid interviews, ridiculous and sub par media and on and on.

 

[all seeing eye]

Lots of empty seats tonight.

 

[Festerz]

Lots of empty seats tonight.

A top of the table NRL home derby game between the Broncos and new team Dolphins just down the road might have something to do with it.

 

[Festerz]

Getting this out of the way early.

Feck I hate James Brayshaw.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

They all sound the same

Masterful programming by VFL, putting them head to head in a Rugby state.

 

[Grave Danger]

I lasted 1:10 before hitting the mute button.

Yep. The game is an official sell out but obviously many Brisbane fans with season tickets decided to watch the rugby (also a sellout) - either live on TV or at the game.

No empty seats at Suncorp Stadium tonight btw.

to be fair, most expected the dolphins to struggle, not be undefeated going into round 4.

alot have jumped on the bandwaggon because they look actually competitive early and not a complete basket case like most bronco alternatives in south-east qld have been in the past.

for what its worth I still think it was a mistake to drop the redcliff name or not be north brisbane/suburbs dolphins

Dolphins RLFC is giving me southern power circa 2011 vibes, grow the pie be less port etc.

 

[Andy_B]

Gawn subbed out.

 

[JimmyBC]

Gawn gone for the game, Brisbane getting kissed on the dikc need to win.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Max is Gawn with a leg injury and sub is on.

 

[Mutha F]

Brisbane playing like us. Dominating clearances and s**t forward entries

 

[tribey]

That free to Ashcroft lol
