Which is what they are doing in established markets.
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.

When are we getting examples of Kane’s predecessors being just as inept as her, fool?
Genuinely intrigued.

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.

'm assuming you're arguing that the game isn't actually that popular? And that people are dropping off because the AFL suck?
I think that's what you're getting at?
I'm not sure what any of what you're posting has to do with my point. I assume you're trying to support my view that the AFL does whatever is required to ensure their product is consuming as many people as possible? And that until people stop consuming it, they won't chang their ways?
The Hocking effect on the AFL
For me personally the rule changes have crippled the AFL competition. The AFL wanted more scoring, are they happy with these constant blow outs? Steve Hocking I'm going to single out for stupid rule changes in particular. Destroying footy.

Confusion over AFL rules a byproduct of policy on the run | Russell Jackson
The past decade of AFL football has seen an increase in league rule changes, which are often reactive and not in the interests of the game’s aesthetic
Nice little trip down memory lane. A reminder of how utterly woeful every single COO has been over the years.
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.

They do this deliberately.
Its pretty basic perception management. If they can get you asking the wrong questions they don't have to worry about the answers.
The response to the farce on the weekend was the perfect example. Everyone is crapping on as if Kane doesn't know the rules to the game. Of course she does (and other games as well.)
As a result no one is questioning if the game was rigged to put the Pies in the top four (which is unlikely but given the relationship between the AFL and gambling its not a question anyone wants asked,) and if the umpires are incompetent and the rules too convoluted (which is far more likely.)
Because all the media space is taken up with criticising her stupid answer instead of the state of the game.
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.
If its a Sydney, Lions and or Collingwood GF I wont bother watching it. Simple.

Why watch a fixed horse race?

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.
But once people start to publicly say this is garbage at some point it becomes untenable and change happens. That might take 54 years for the AFL though.
You're a fool if you think anything will change.
Not a fool for continuing to consume it.
The degree from a dogshit law school indicates as much.
Her performance this week confirms it.
Huh?
This is from 2013.
Gieschen used to embarrass himself weekly on stuff like this.
People have very short memories.
She’s a cross-eyed gunslinger with impulse control issues.
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.
It entirely depends on what the AFL expect from the person in the role, doesn't it.
Think she has been good up and until this week.
She has been open and communicated well, even if you don't like what she has to say.
The last week has definitely taken some of the shine off however.

Which means that she will be the next CEO of the AFL....
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:
And then once you're on the inside, if you do a good job, you're a chance whenever the next promotion comes up.
