Theres at least two factors in play.

1) variable ticket pricing is new this year, and is actively discouraging people from going.
2) the sunday night twilight and night timeslots are hated by football supporters. (Carl v Coll, Carl v Ess).
3) Dreamtime at the G is just Richmond and Essendon woefully out of form.

You did however leave out ANZAC Day which was 91,171 (down slightly from 93,373), and Geelong v Hawthorn (80,222 down from 85,197).

The AFL fucked up pricing and scheduling this year. COLA has nothing to do with it, economic conditions probably not either.

what puzzles me more, is why an NRL fan would be gloating about this when ALL of this crowds are greater than anything the NRL has got this season - most by a fair way.

No Gloating here Wookie

I am just pointing out that crowds will effect the AFL's bottom line..........................................the AFL's bottom line as it stands from the Annual report stands at 7million profit for 2013.

All it takes is some shocks....................ie crowds going down and it can be a slippery slope, you get my drift?

Crowds being 12% down in Melbourne is no flash in the pan.......................something is up and to ignore this would spell trouble for the AFL imo.

Have a cry you girls blouse. There was only one sport in Australia that attracted audiences of 24k in Brisbane, 36k in Sydney, 37k in Perth, 49k in Adelaide, and 74k in Melbourne, this weekend.

How'd the NRL go?

has 3 sides cheating the cap but its legal
has about 4 tanking so they can get better draft picks
has about 12 clubs that don't have a cent to rub together between them
