You said GWS is getting better crowds than Sydney FC which is simply a load of bullshit. Just like everything else you mention. Is not my fault your digging your own hole and looking like a halfwit

Now what's AFLs excuse for slashing their promotion budget by 1 million dollars in NSW this year?

I guess you can't sell a pile of shit so why waste money. Which is very much the case for AFL. Being the number 4 football code in NSW.

Well the giants are a very new SECOND expansion team in Sydney, so of course they will take time to get support. Most people who follow AFL in Sydney will have already joined allegiances with the Swans. Imagine if you introduced a brand new team into Brisbane. Who would follow it given the Broncos have the following of the vast majority.

As for AFL being the 4th sport in NSW, the Swans have the highest membership numbers and largest crowd average of every sporting club in Sydney. Meanwhile the Storm have lower membership numbers and crowd averages than every AFL team and the Victory in Melbourne

The Swans are just a relocation club from Melbourne with a hundred plus years of history. No big feat.

Meanwhile AFL can't even get a team out of one small populated country

For a start: Peter Fitzsimons is a discredited Mills and Boon historian, failed Wallaby, chardonnay sipping socialist and allround loud mouth dill!! Anyone who believes anything he says would be among Australia's biggest bridge owners.

As for the content: ho hum. Australian sport is about winning GF's, not minor premierships or number of games in a row. I'll wait till the finals series and GF before sticking the boot in or otherwise.

Also: I not FB's Sydney TV ratings have dropped by 23% this year from their already miniscule levels of last year. This is despite 100's of millions of dollars pumped into the Sydney market by fumblehouse and 2 highly successful onfield teams last year. Please discuss.

There is every chance this weekends game will be the highest attended game of any footballing code in the home and away season of 2017

The afl can do as they choose. If they want to put a team in nz they can ... just as they have done in western Sydney where support levels were about the same .
