It’s an interesting scenario. I think you are right ... where would the swans play otherwise. Would they threaten to move to spotless ?? Doubt it. They’d certainly have a bumper crowd if they did. Maybe they’ll threaten to have smaller games there ?? But can’t see it. If the afl did have somewhere to go, they would be in prime position to force this as regardless of who or what generates more income, the swans revenue is still significsnt.
AngloFL played predominately in well healed areas of city by white private school kids. A move out west would result in crowds similar to plastic gws.
So that’s where all the union supporters went.

Oh... need I post the Aussie Rules clubs in and around western parts of Sydney ?

Yes, I will qualify . When soccer gets the crowds and media coverage Aussie Rules does week in and week out maybe you have a point. Think you’re clutching pointing to marquee games.

Adding goal posts again. Just cause global expansion of AngloFL failed doesn't mean you should ignore national teams & overseas clubs.

You do realise by citing soccer as also having lots of teams in qld in response to my post with all the Aussie Rules clubs actually supports my point! If they start inferring soccer as being a southern or northern or wherever sport, I think supporters would point to the level that it is played in significant numbers across the country. Soccer and Aussie rules can both claim that.

I think we are talking about Aussie Rules being referred to as a southern sport. It has been shown that it clearly is not and is a national sport played across the country in significant numbers.....just like soccer.

If you want to think that soccer in Australia is bigger than Aussie Rules ... or Rl for that matter ... then go ahead I guess if that floats your boat.

One sport is national for certain reasons, yet another isn't for the very same reasons. You don't make sense.

You should let people in the northern states know - viewing numbers suggest nobody up here cares about your provincial pastime.

What are you taking about soccer and Aussie Rules are both national. Aussie Rules is a bigger sport in this country which I am sure you Agree with that.

And how are the soccer participation rates up there? [-X
