    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    Exactly. At Carlton home games they have some woman on the PA who screams into the mic like some bogan going off at their kids. Telling us to make noise etc. Why is this shit necessary? Was there some severe atmosphere issue at games over the last decade that I slept through or something...

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    And what are you basing this on? Anecdotal evidence? The people you sit around? It's only spread around the country because the AFL feels like kids can't sit there and watch the footy. It's like AFL for ADHD. Kids with goldfish attention spans. Probably a sad indictment on society more than...

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    Yeah I remember one of those Geelong Carlton games. It was an avalanche of goals all game and it deadset felt like we were being pranked or something with that ridiculous music. It made for a very strange atmosphere.

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    That's the thing I was struck by the other week when Dennis Cometti died and they replayed heaps of iconic moments that he commented. I seriously cannot picture the same thing happening now. The level of broadcasting is disgracefully bad. It's essentially a bunch of ex players wanting to talk...

    Opinion Essendon - where are they at?

    Who knows I've been completely confused by what on earth Essendon have been doing for the last 5-6 years. They just look like a rudderless ship with a bunch of random players every season. Some truly terrible drafting, shocking pick ups from other clubs and continually relying on the same...

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    Yep. Thursday’s are an own goal themselves. The media couldn’t stop banging on about them because it gave them another day of content a week and more time in the spotlight. I think the concept of it as a bit of a novelty for a few weeks in the season was good. When it’s for the entire...

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    She still gives it to them more than some of the others. She goes after the higher ups more than others. But yes it probably speaks to how much influence the AFL is having over FoxFooty, 7 etc when so many now tow the line so easily.

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    Correct and the journalists coming through are essentially being trained to shut up and say the right things. As much as Caro can be grating, once she retires the lack of genuine hard hitting AFL criticism will be frightening

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    It’s such an incredible own goal to take away an entire day of footy from the public and make them pay to see any footy on a Saturdays during a cost of living crisis. It’s even more bizarre considering they’ve seemingly decided to write off Sundays as the day for the junk teams.

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    For me there’s a few factors. The biggest is the complete disregard the AFL has for its fans, in particular the long term rusted on ones. It begins with this opening round rubbish that has completely ruined the beginning of the season. Instead of having all teams play in the first week, we...

    Curnow’s Coleman era is officially over

    Yep. just wanted to go somewhere when it’s all about Charlie. Never been more convinced that he does not want to be a winner and just wants to **** around on the footy field. His on field efforts have been deplorable for well over a year now

    Opinion Have St Kilda been overhyped this year?

    All that money and their midfield still stinks

    Coach Carlton under Voss

    Don't worry, the club can do no wrong apparently. Then when we completely fail at building a winning list, it apparently was obvious all along and we should all just pretend the likes of Silvagni, Voss etc weren't talked up as Jesus like Messiah figures here to revive Carlton. Every one of...
