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.

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.

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.
