Go less and less now even though I’m an 11 game member. AFL have destroyed the sport with the constant rules changes and over officiating. It’s just so hard to watch as a sport at the moment

Yep, my passion for the Club keeps me going every week, although I did miss last week with the flu unfortunately.If you love the tigers
A couple of rule changes(toning now)
Cold weather(it’s winter)
Thursday night(early start)
Parking(car park was open)
Traffic(another excuse)
Should’nt keep you away if you’re within 30km of the G.
Nothing better than having a big crowd supporting the team. We’re in the 8 and aiming for top 4 hopefully. 100k members. Not acceptable lol. We’re a bit too soft these days. Need to get a bit of toughness. At least 10% of our player toughness would be nice
Rule changes are annoying but they always fade off after a while. We’d have 90k if it was a final. It’s just a cop out all the excuses. People are just softer now and less interesting in stuff like footy. Play them some quality tunes from 50 years ago and they look at you all confused. They’d rather dance and pranceYep, my passion for the Club keeps me going every week, although I did miss last week with the flu unfortunately.
Like many, hate the rule changes, especially stand, the 5m rule, ruck nomination (how easy would it be to just punish the team that has 2 players go up for the ruck contest!!!!) and particularly holding the ball which should be cut and dried. If you had time to handball or kick the ball and you don’t, it’s HTB even if it came out in the tackle, should be that simple.
am curious why fans are staying away in LARGE numbers , a load of reasons and are weighted differently depending on who you talk to ..
For mine scheduling is the deciding factor , battling MELB traffic , then finding a park in the boon docks for weekday NIGHT games , more often its duck that for me and stay home. the afl in general , rules changes et al ,,,doesn't persuade my interest in Tigers games but other matches it does
fire away,,,,
Well summed up.I work most Saturdays and Sundays, so most games are off limits, but have made a conscious decision to avoid AFL in general and won't be going unless I jag a GF ticket if we're in it.
Run by a corrupt and Woke organisation that is more interested in social engineering and virtue signalling than actually putting on a decent and credible show.
Footy, for me - as a player for a long time and spectator/fan - was a release on weekends, a chance to get away from everything else and the plethora of agendas being constantly forced upon us.
I don't need to go to the footy, pay $50 for the 'privilege' and $10 a beer to have more of those same agendas forced down my throat.
When I moved back to Melbourne for a few years about a decade ago, I never missed a Tigers game and would most weeks watch at least two, sometimes three games a weekend live.
Added to that, the AFL, its rule changes and constant reinterpretations of rules, have killed the spectacle off.
The game was great in the 60s (not that I was alive), 70s, 80s and 90s as it evolved naturally; its evolution since has been artificial and basically mandated from above and it's never looked worse.
FFS, put a moratorium on rule changes - we don't need two or three or four new ones a year, on top of the previous year's three. Leave the game alone. I don't see cricket inventing new ways to dismiss a batsman every summer; or basketball rushing to a four or five-point line; or netball, after introducing a two-point goal, after years of consideration, back up the next and create a three-point goal. Give the rules time and game time to breathe.
I know it's a multi-billion corporation and game, but it seriously needs to get back to grassroots and its spiritual base. And it's time for the AFL to let clubs run on their merits. A salary cap is great, but stop handing out concessions for poor performance and inept management at the expense of those who do operate effectively and efficiently. I felt that even while my own side was floundering, yet were eventually able to thrive.
It's the most contrived sporting competition in the world, with the AFL playing the role of dictator. It manufactures every outcome to its own satisfaction but has the morals of a sewer rat.
What a load of bull s**tI go to most games.
only reasons I can come up with that people aren’t going are weather,cost,ticketing issues and covid.
Doubt umpiring and rules or state of the game has anything to do with it. Plenty of eyeballs watching tv.
Found Gil's burner account.I go to most games.

There’s just something special about going to the G during the dayNot keen on Thursday & Friday night games… I hardly miss day games.
lol, so people should just shut up and put up with being shafted further up the arse and just obey and follow like sheep? You must get off on some real crazy stuff.Rule changes are annoying but they always fade off after a while. We’d have 90k if it was a final. It’s just a cop out all the excuses.

im in the wrong state unfortunately
Anyone would think the rule changes are that drastic.lolFound Gil's burner account.
Honestly, people are here saying they refuse to go due to the rule changes (myself included) and people like you still have the audacity to say it's not true - even though we're telling you that's why.
This is everything that's wrong with the AFL industry - fans are just ignored for people's own agendas.

That’s piss weak.People watch it from home because when it all gets to much they can turn off and go to bed .
Agree,I go because our attendance supports OUR club.Things change naturally. By staying home hurts no one but you’re own club. Protestors are the sensitive ones who cop out. Supporting the club isn’t being a sheep
