so what happened fumblers ? a big noise coming from the west last week ( nearly all from victorians ) , turned to a tumble weed a week later :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :(/ :(/ on a gorgeous night in sydney .. like stunning .. 8,034 apparently turned up.. again if that ground was 33% full Im not here...

People have been saying for decades that it is the Victorians moving to GC that props up the Aussie rules here. Whilst this is a factor, some of those who moved now have kids, grandkids, and great grand kids — that are brought up with Aussie rules. I can also speak from my own experience of kids co...

Also - sitting here watching an afl footy show on 7 is something I have always stated would be a good sign if starting to get serious in-roads. it rates terrible though into northern states. I would say AFL want Shows on main channel as part of tv deals to get more exposure. alot more than making i...

love to see State of Origin on Reach i am not too sure that number has ever been released Ive notice for a few years now Channel 7 always claim reach alot where as channel 9 rarely do and that is for programs just not sport 2023 “Last night's incredible NRL Grand Final reached 4.6 million and furth...

I wouldn't say Aussie Rules struggles in QLD - not by a long shot as there is a very large presence - and many players who grow up in QLD who have gone on to play at AFL level - hence the strong presence and numbers - you just have to look at the amount of leagues and amount of clubs. Brisbane doin...

65 Million was handed to the GWS AND SUNS in the year of 2023
which is record
blew previous year out of the water by 7-8million

I suspect, having had a decent win, there will be a decent crowd at the Suns next week - playing StKilda - not a big travelling team and not a huge supporter base like Richmond. playing the Crows buddy ill be there.. My Cricket Club got handed free tickets for this game there's about 30 of us going...

And the GWS crowd - I thought that would mostly be Piez supporters but there was a clear large Giants contingent present.

i had a mate attend who loves Collingwood
He recans 70% Collingwood
GWS 30%

The Great Kerry Packer once said
And Advert every Over in the cricket was commercial genius

this is pretty much what the AFL get every FTA game
with a GOAL scored
along with what Terry has said with game length going 33% longer

Teams in SA AND WA also help alot.

I think the population of the two countries need to be considered when comparing the figures - they aren't great figures for Australia if it was played here and I know AFL gets some low figures which are as bad - but in the context of the population of the US this is extremely low - I think it woul...

opening round will be a success for the AFL

though i think these games mid year
would of been attended by around the same capacity anyways

as they are 3 Big Victorian clubs who travel in big numbers
