So how is your love of the game now ?
As a grumpy old man in my 40s , my love for the game continues to fall , I actually don’t think it’s the best sport in the world anymore, how can it be , people who have followed it the entire life get frustrated and confused consistently by all things in the game . So many fans dislike the constant shifting of the goal posts by the AFL.
So much angst towards the AFL for rewarding the clubs who consistently fail and no help for those who’ve done it all themselves
The shitting on the long term loyal members .
Again the regular changing of rules without anywhere near enough trial etc etc .
Self indulgent commentators , AFL media with there Ambulance chasing gossip columnists who couldn’t care less about what damage they are doing to the young men and women who are involved in the AFL
How about the consistently inconsistent bans handed out to players by the MRP and Tribunal.
I truly hope the game can become as safe as possible for those playing while as entertaining as it once was, I highly doubt it and can only cross my fingers and toes that smarter people then me can somehow create a new/old game that works , In fact I’m that worried about the game that the AFL need to go backwards to go forwards and get rid of or merge the teams that don’t pay there way, we are going to need millions and millions to fix this .
