They're damaging the AFL Footy brand at grassroots level. Many people have left especially the long term supporters, the elders, the bearers of the game, & the holders of the traditions & values.
The game is being hijacked from the people.
We have too many ex footballers commentating, & they tends to represent the 'Tones' of footballers ans maybe sometimes don't get the desires of the Public. They differ occasionally.
The players now want to run the game from the AFL. They've been around for 10 minutes. They should wait til they've been out of the game 10 Years for a broader perspective.
The ones being forgotten are the watching public being trodden on all over the place.
# The AFL closing stands as 'reserved', when they're empty...
