Hocking & Co tell us "this is what the fans wanted" when they constantly change the rules of the game. So the question is, As a fan who attends games, have you ever been consulted by anyone running the AFL for your view on the state of the game?

Was it Benny Gale who made the distinction between being the custodians of the game or custodians of the business....I think he was talking about a Tassie team. The AFL manages the business (and pretty well to be fair). It's all about 'content' and 'eyeballs' and being in the entertainment business. The metrics are all wrong for the game but right for the business. Until this changes it will always be the same
Once, on the phone. Was around ticketing and grounds and timing of matches but there was one question on whether the game was better or worse as a spectacle now or in the past. The survey relied on my responses being accurately recorded by the person asking the questions.
Yes. Hocking gave me a bell last week. I said you've gotta do something about manning the mark. Richmond are far too good at that. Also the kick outs, but I didn't explain it well so that's turned into a schemozz. I wanted six in the 50 at all times but Steve spat the dummy and hung up. Cheers.
Yep, and guess which game in rd 1 they’ll be red hot on? Before there’s an outcry that the umps were too rigid on the rules and relax interpretation.
