Thats a one off. Once all stadium renovations are finished and these new teams imnprove the average and total will climb. Short term pain for long term gain. Something the NRL know nothing about.

Of course the game has suffered a set back after starting two new teams in expansion markets which are full of kids. Plus at the same time we are playing a team almost every second week in Tasmania. That combined with live TV of every game means crowds fell. Are they atrocious? Hmmm, still almost double the NRL so Im quite certain no one is worried.

But as I said, as these teams become competitive, and the draft and salary cap ensures they will, the crowds will stabilise and begin to grow again.



If there was no change in cercumstances, or the TV ratings and memberships had also dipped Id be worried. But theyve both had a healthy increase.

The AFL by the end of the deal will be playing in upgraded stadiums in Sydney,Adelaide and Perth. They will have state of the art stadiums in every capital city in Australia. The Nrl will still be playing out of brookie. The AFL have this covered my friend.

it won't mean a thing when people continue to be served up clubs of the calibre the midgits ... thuns ... & power .. demons .. bulldogs .. paddle pop lions
it isnt just a matter of teams suffering injuries & the bad bounce of the ball along with not being able to get up every week to compete

afterall , even in strong competitive comps like the NRL... someone still has to finish last
no
these sides are utter garbage ...
these new stadiums will be empty as people won't fork out their hard earned to watch them
the VFL has been turd polishing in 2012... even your codes dopey fans are waking up to it

The draft and salary cap will ensure these teams become competitive. Enjoy bagging the uneven comp for a few more season but that will change very quickly and the AFL will be reaping the benefits of a comprehensive national comp. meanwhile the NRL will still be talking about Perth and a second Brisbane team.
