No one is claiming cairns is an afl town it’s an even spread Clownsville is a nrlol town Lol you think cairns is 50/50? I'd love to have what you're smoking lol there is several strong local leagues of afl in cairns as proof it has a large following :wave: It's not a AFL town champ... the way Aussi...

Rubbish dude! Look at the 3rd party data they all show the nrl fudges their participation numbers.cairns is early 50/50 but the more redneck places of clownsville, stoneage Hampton and Bundaberg are definitely league dominate. But as I said there is strong afl leagues all up the coast line so afl d...

Afl has strong amateur leagues all up the coast line up to cairns! This thread seems to be more like the league looneys are living in fear and have come up with one of their tin foil hat plans again I've heard the AFL are claiming cairns as their territory. They haven't spent much time there let al...

Yeah! How’s that gonna work? I’m sure those tin foil hat brain stormi...

Swans have never had a problem with crowds they have a niche following, that not the problem - Insolvency and being out rated by Iron Chef re-runs are. When they started in Sydney, they certainly did have problems attracting crowds. I remember going to games for free in the early 90s with not more ...
