Well- I have done it
After 45 years following Carlton and Liverpool, I have purchased my first Melbourne Victory membership.
This purchase is before my Carlton Membership
50,000 at Etihad on Saturday
I think we need some enjoyment from other sports as Blues supporters for the next 5 years
I blame the incompetent Carlton Board over the last 20 years for this decision C:-)
GO VICTORY!

Nil all draw, boring!
The fact is that FFA would bury the AFL in a heartbeat, given the chance. It's one code that won't get a cent out of me.
Maybe you have forgotten that application several years ago to hold the world cup in Australia. At the time of its application the FFA expected the AFL to hand over its grounds as required and not to play competition football in the year preceding the cup being held! Arrogance of the first order.
Bought my first Victory guernsey two weeks ago!!

Hope you enjoy it, Mozzie, but like Macca, soccer is not the game for me. Guys rolling around on the ground like they all do is very poor.

Why is soccer mentioned on this forum? SC stands for supporters club not soccer club. Please.????

Probably for the same reason cricket, tennis, and the American NFL gets a mention.
Because certain members are interested, and have a legitimate sub forum in which to discuss that interest.
I love it follow English scene, Leeds United fan, so anyone in the know will know the double pain of Carlton & Leeds the last decade lol
I'm a Charlton man Rob so in the same league as your boys. Can't see us coming up any time soon either.
In the UK I follow Liverpool. Enough said, have had a few good moments over the last 20 years but have been the side we were prior.
Sounds familiar...
:(

I think the AFL is indeed worried, well at least concerned.
I don't think the Afl is concerned.
They know that the likelihood is that 3/4 of those supporters tune into AFL as it's not an either/or argument and the codes are "on" at different times of the year.

all the kids are playing soccer
i was at the game last night - a lot more families as a whole, a lot less booze, a broader cultural and ethnic diversity in the crowd - the future of Australia - yep they are worried

It's been the case for the last 20-25 years.
The AFL has become a national competition and generates more money via TV rights than ever.
They were not worried back then and they are not worried now.

My local Auskick and AFL Junior Clubs are bigger and richer than ever before, they have never been bigger!
Senior clubs are also growing, only the teenage teams seem to have no growth and this is caused by known effects across all sports related to drugs, alcohol and the Internet.

They were not worried back then and they are not worried now.
Soccer and basketball were what drove the then vfl to take measures to become a national sport. It would probably have shuffled away into obscurity if it hadn't. There was a point where the AFL moved to the ABC for no broadcast money because the offer from ch 7 was so low.
I don't think they're worried now because their model is one of shared supporters but they definitely were back then.
Speaking of shared supporters. The club should get with one of the soccer sides and offer an 5/5 game membership (or similar) where you get 5 Carlton games and 5 soccer games packaged together. Split the revenue.
