The AFL has identified four key factors for the fall in Victorian attendances this season.

In my case, forget about the fixture and complex ticketing, they are NON-ISSUES. The poor performance of Richmond is of course a huge reason why I haven't attended a match since the Dreamtime game: As is the continuing frustrating wait for a huge raft of Essendon players to be rightfully given lengthy suspensions for knowingly trying to cheat their way towards success by injecting illegal substances into their bodies. Another huge factor, which the AFL has been powerless to address is the continuing congestion of the game by Lyon, Roos and others which is ruining the game as a spectacle for me.
