Yes - I think the AFL went with a "build it and they will come" philosophy - mainly about players getting involved and improving. I guess time will tell - but the damage in these forming years may be too big a hurdle to overcome.

be the biggest of all sports with National footprint...
pumped the marketing >> the Networks believed in the product too from the start (they are now losing millions every round>
without big rule changes etc etc I do not see it changing as a product.
Agree - but don;t think a big rule change will help - if people wanted to watch lower grade football - they'd watch the state leagues.
100 Percent
Under 18's national mens comp would rip this comp to pieces.
