Victorian teams have won all bar 1 flag since 2006. In multiple years every team in preliminary finals in this time were Victorian.
Remove Geelong and make it Melbourne clubs - 6/10 in that time (60% of the flags, yet make up only 52% of the comp in that time - 9/16 for 4 years, 9/17 for 1 year and 9/18 for 5)
The game is slowly expanding into NSW and QLD (don't look at attendences merely, look at the work done at junior level - slow but gradual increase), Perth is getting a first-rate stadium (bigger and better than concrete Subi), Adelaide has a first-rate stadium (bigger, better and wins in the first rule of real estate - location, location, location - compared to Footy Park), the AFL has bought out Etihad relieving the knife in some small clubs, Geelong has expanded Kardinia even further and is on the cusp of getting their 11 H&A home games there, the Dogs have had success at the right time and are venturing into regional Victoria (about time country Victoria got some reward!), North are innovating with some new shit, Essendon have shown they can survive anything.
By most objective measures the AFL is doing well. Just need to hold firm in the northern states, particularly QLD, and not give up too soon. QLD is the area of concern, not Victoria.
Whilst probably a troll, if not, this is as stupid as Ron Barassi calling for an inquest into Victorian footy circa 2005-2006. Only won a decade of flags after that...
