Prime time is a joke now that the AFL ignores its biggest fans.
Global Consensus
What happened?
Essendon (the Bombers) and Carlton fans were left in the dark when this year’s AFL fixture was released with no prime-time slots allocated. This move is a slap in the face, showing that big clubs aren't given priority anymore.
The ugly truth is, ratings are being pushed to favor less popular games.
Some might argue it's about optimizing viewer numbers for advertisers and network deals. But this looks like pure neglect of long-time loyalty over quick cash grabs.
Ignoring fan bases can backfire with a drop in ticket sales and merchandise revenue.
Expect a growing rift among die-hard supporters who might rally on social media and at matches against these scheduling choices. The AFL risks alienating its traditional base for fleeting gains in ratings.
This will split fans down the middle, with hardcore followers rebelling while casual viewers may not notice or care much about fixture slots.
