Not according to The Age
Like Essendon's disappearing fan base, yesterday's turnout of under 29,000 the Bombers' smallest crowd for a home game against the Lions for 15 years. That came after two sub-60,000 crowds against big rivals Carlton and Collingwood, and a few weeks after the Dons recorded their lowest home crowd against any team for 12 years.
We have a huge fan base compared to the roos and will remain viable in the future from our sustained success and marketing. At school I was the only saints fan in the 80s but now at my kids school at least half the kids are getting around with saints merchandise. It doesn't all hold together but if even a percentage stay saints we should be good in 10 - 20 years time.
Nick Riewoldt is a gem for our marketers, he is instantly recognisable and plays a wholesome brand of footy. My son was not that keen on the game but loved watching Nick, now he is obsessed by afl.

Geez, mate. You've picked a pretty committed person to pick on for their lack of committment.
Personally, I suggest you retract.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
plugs ur a classic!
