Wooky backing up the drongo and the ALMIGHTY Flogball, who'd have thunk it.
How long would they last if they had to fend for themselves?
Don't bother answering, it'll only be lies propaganda and bullshit.

The suns average a higher home ground attendance then the titans. Merchandise sales and gate receipts are not part of the afl assistance package and the suns rightfully get their share of the broadcast rights. And the suns get plenty of interest in local media ... just recently a 6 page spread for the women’s comp. all this whilst they’ve been a basket case on the field. Imagine if they start winning ? With a very strong grassroots at both junior and senior level rivalling the local rl comp ... and growing resulting in a shortage of grounds.... I think the investment has been well worth it thus far.
To be honest most people don't even take any notice of women's AFL. Even the National Basketball League gets more news coverage than women's AFL.Fred wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 10:01 pmParraEelsNRL wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 12:53 pmYou really are a simpleton.

Was a brief bit of coverage in the news recently on the women's GWS team. And they were playing in an empty Western Sydney park with close to no spectators.

You come across as so superior with that post. Given the crowd violence & racism afl fans shouldn't look down on anyone.Fred wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 2:59 pmWho knows. Personally I don't think there is strong demand to read the lift outs etc. ... but they are there so people who want to read do. There is a strong Aussie Rules presence on the coast which I am sure you can attest to - whether people want to read about women's AFL is another thing. The fact is, it was stated there was no media coverage - which was simply wrong. They say the team doesn't draw crowds - yet Sun's consistently out perform the Titans for home crowds - both , as I have shown, have a large away team turnout to bolster this. The Suns have been a basket case and still get these crowds. Once more - grassroots is expanding nicely from an already strong base - in large due to the large take up of Women's AFL - where there is now a call for more grounds to be built as running out of rooms for games and for training purposes. So yes, the investment has indeed been worthwhile on the Gold Coast - if they start winning watch out.
As for GWS - the public interest in bogan central is largely focused on RL - the sport of choice in NSW for bogans. However, the growth in the amount of teams and players in Western Sydney cannot be denied - so that would be one KPI they are tracking well with.
What was gws membership revenue? Remember to put minus in front.The_Wookie wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 6:22 pmlol give the history of NRL crowd fudging I wouldnt fucking say a word about AFL crowds.AngloFootballLeague wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 5:53 pm

Nobody should trust any numbers released from afl. Participation numbers apparently reach 1.7 million. Membership numbers don't state how many come free with auskick or are limited to 3 games.
TV ratings are best because impartial & show claims of wide spread support is fanciful. Lots of money spent, but so little in return.
Membership Revenue tells us more than membership numbers, and NRL clubs have fuck all of that too. Seriously If we had all the figures available Id bet that the Swans Membership revenue beats all Sydney NRL clubs hands down on its own.
And GWS has never just been about tv and isnt just about the 8 years theyve existed as an afl team.
It was accepted at time gws & GC were added to boast broadcasting deal. Since gws has failed to attract an audience people like you are now back tracking from this.The_Wookie wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 7:00 pmIt wasnt negative, nad was pretty much on par with reported Sydney nrl clubs.AngloFootballLeague wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 6:56 pm

Sponsorship also includes attendance and media visibility. Not just television. Again, theres a reason the AFL makes so much more revenue in non broadcast sectors.Swans money comes from sponsorship because games get good ratings in Melbourne, Perth & Adelaide, but sadly very few viewers in home city of Sydney, go figure.
And are wrong.2nd Sydney team all about TV dollars as I've explained here before.
because unlike the NRL, the AFL isnt a tv show with a live audience.Biggest potential audience equals biggest deal - how can you argue against that?
