Which is what they are doing in established markets.??
So you're agreeing that the only way the AFL will change is if people drop off?
And what exactly you think 'drop off' means?
It means they stop watching and attending. Which is exactly what I've been saying.
When are we getting examples of Kane’s predecessors being just as inept as her, fool?No they don't.
They changed the rule for a week, then they just changed it back.
They didn't listen to anyone. Because they know the fools will keep fronting up and forking out their hard earned. Like they always do.

But supporters like you can’t see this as the growth in the expansion markets has grown quicker than the attrition in the mature market.
That’s their long term strategy for growth that’s been implemented so well.
When there is little growth left in these growth markets and these supporters become more regular like the mature markets, that’s when the long term effects of the football operations team start to hurt the overall numbers. These fans will turn away from the game quicker than the AFL can attract new ones. And by then it will be too late.
You seem to be underestimating the impact of the growth of the league through adding teams and games to the fixture. Average attendances has increased less than 10% over the last 15 years. Their main revenue stream increase has been the result of this expansion strategy.

Genuinely intrigued.
And they were some of our greatest years.Laura Kane's Linkedin shows a quite interesting career progression. She graduated with LLB, and worked as a lawyer for 2 years. She then went straight into a Manager position at North, and was promoted to Head of Football Operations within a year.
I think very few people have true managerial skills after 2 years in the workforce, let alone the skills to be the Head of Football Operations. Maybe she's an exceptional talent, but something seems a bit off here.
They do this deliberately.Interestingly, every single one of them made unpopular rule changes, every single one of them made bullshit and confusing public explanations of them, and every one was berated by the public for being shit.
No they don't.

My favourite restaurant serves a bad steak. The only option? Never go back there! Only a fool would tell them the meal was off!
The latest Bond movie is a dud. The only option? Never watch something in the James Bond franchise again!
The black pill is not noble. It is a concession to mediocrity. It’s an attempt to put a positive spin on embracing failure.
Isn't the point that the AFL appoint people who will defend the indefensible and make no effort to make the game better for the average supporter. It's a closed mindscape inside AFL house, and only those who believe are allowed in.Heck of a sales pitch. "She's no s**tier than the numpties before her."
And an even better motto for the AFL. "We make enough money off of these suckers; why try to be better?"
It's exactly that sort of drive for mediocrity that keeps some clubs as perennial underperformers despite having more silver spoons shoved into their mouths than a child in the Rockefeller family.
You're a fool if you think anything will change.Not sure how disliking aspects of the game’s administration and continuing to watch makes someone a ‘fool’. These are not mutually exclusive positions.
Maybe i don’t enjoy it as much as i would if it were better run, but i still love following the game.
The degree from a dogshit law school indicates as much.She's a ******* dumb ass. That's the explanation.
Huh?The degree from a dogshit law school indicates as much.
This is from 2013.When are we getting examples of Kane’s predecessors being just as inept as her, fool?
Genuinely intrigued.
There are some very experienced managers out there, both men and women. Hard to believe this is the best possible person for the role in the whole of Australia.Laura Kane's Linkedin shows a quite interesting career progression.

It entirely depends on what the AFL expect from the person in the role, doesn't it.There are some very experienced managers out there, both men and women. Hard to believe this is the best possible person for the role in the whole of Australia.
This is from 2013.
Gieschen used to embarrass himself weekly on stuff like this.
People have very short memories.
Which means that she will be the next CEO of the AFL....The degree from a dogshit law school indicates as much.
Her performance this week confirms it.
Her first job at NMFC was basically to apply for the women's footy licence, and came on the back of several years of involvement in women's footy:Laura Kane's Linkedin shows a quite interesting career progression.

Former lawyer Laura Kane has just joined the Roos and is working with CEO Carl Dilena on the club's application for one of four women's football licences on offer.
Kane, also the president of the Melbourne University Women's Club, has taken on the role as manager of North's women's football and academy talent pathways, and said she's thrilled to have made the move to Arden Street.
"I'm not sure North has marketed their involvement with the women's game as well as they could have but they host the youth girls' carnival every year and the Victorian country program for young females as well as their long relationship with my club Melbourne University," she said.
"On my first day here it was obvious that the women in the football department are completely entrenched.
"Football has always been my hobby but when Carl offered me this opportunity I jumped at it even though it was tough to leave Waller [Legal] and I didn't do it lightly," she said.
