They also have school footy teams overflowing with kids from year 7-12.
The kids who didn't make the footy team get shunted off to the soccer team or rugby team.

Need to bring the ticket prices and food prices down to fill arenas
General Admission for Adults should be max $20 Seniors and students $15 kids $10
More sections should be made available GA especially for games that won't be sold out - say from 72 hours out to fill up seats

Why would i turn up to a game where 30k are going to attend and i have to sit at the top of the Northern stand at the MCG when there are 60,000 empty seats below me?
its not given up to some random - you still get your seat.Why would I turn up to a game when I've paid a premium for my seat and it's been given away to some random?

if you're not there, its not your seatWhy should my seat be sold to a random when I've paid a premium for my seat ?
yep... spot on..
great chase down from behind by the tackler of course there is forward momentum... 'in the back' tackler not rewarded yet again. When the chase down from behind is a great part of the game.
In the back free kick was designed for 2 hands in the back push.
What is the tackler from behind supposed to do..pull the player backwards.
Couldn't agree with you more. It's god dame frustrating.
You guys really should try umpiring at least once before you criticise.
I'd wager any amount of money you'd be a failure.
Nah i'd just let it go, stay out of it and only pay the obvious.
Maybe not?It's a pity you couldn't string a few cohesive sentences together to show your reasoning.
What major league has performed well in your opinion.
The NFL is down and participation is worryingly down.
The MBL is down big time.
It seems most of the big leagues overseas have problems.
Here in Australia, rugby and soccer are down, the AFL and NRL are Covid and weather affected.
In the longterm, the AFL established two AFL teams in N.S.W. and two AFL teams in Queensland.
The Swans and Lions are the biggest teams in town.
Participation is returning to normal and crowds are slowly returning to their previous levels.
Black and white rules so we all understand what the hell is happening!Nah i'ld just let it go, stay out of it and only pay the obvious.
The point is not that we desire the game to be more "damaging" or more hard or whatever.Then you haven't experienced rucking when interference in the ruck was actually policed.
Rucking then was an athletic feature of the game and still is when you have players like Nic Nat.
The idea of tackling is to restrain the player so as to win a free kick for holding-the-ball
not to do as much (legal0 damage) as you seem desire.
Why would i turn up to a game where 30k are going to attend and i have to sit at the top of the Northern stand at the MCG when there are 60,000 empty seats below me?
others will say 'buy a better membership' to get those seats by why should i have to? Im happy to miss out on a big ticketed game becasue i havent paid for the big membership but we should be able to sit on the bottom tier if we want to when it is over 50% empty, usually about 80% empty
this is the issue, its all about the $$$ and not about the fans (they preach about doing stuff for the fans but its just the $$$)
Sounds like a reasoned approach, but no, players play to the umpire so if you're only paying the obvious they're going to be "pushing the envelope"
so to speak and before you know it, you'll have an all-in brawl - guaranteed.
Folks have become used to watching footy at home since COVID.
I know several people who have also developed screen/internet addiction. They're deciding not to go out, procrastinating, they're late to appointments, they're going to bed late and waking up late, insist on working from home rather than the office (if they have an office job), etc. The effect of COVID is going to hang around for a while.
definitely different watching it from both sections. You get a much better look from up high at the way teams set up and can see it unfolding before it happens alot of the time. But i just like the option of sitting in different areas. Annoys me that you cant have the choice due to afl wanting extra $$$ (like anything these days)Interesting this level 1 v level 3 thing. I cannot stand watching footy on level 1. Its too low and you get no overview.
(Its like watching games on tv from the SCG. Camera too low).
The point is not that we desire the game to be more "damaging" or more hard or whatever.
It's that we want it to be far, far less "policed"
agree with your reasoning... so true.
But I think we need to fix the game by getting back to basics.
I think some of you don't like the truth. About rule fiddling. Put up with it and easily pleased!
Now if you can't read my stuff tough luck!
