Club teams
Biggest AFL teams in the world, one would be Collingwood, could one argue Geelong or Carlton (I don't know, I need some AFL fans help with that one)
Question, do they get over 90,000 at the MCG for regular season games? Yes
Biggest Football teams in the world, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City???? Barcelona, Chelsea.
Do they sell out or get over 90,000 people at the MCG, well Man City v Real, yes they do
Biggest League teams in the world? South Sydney, Brisbane Broncos, Roosters?
Do they sell out the MCG or get over 90,000, nope hell two of those teams couldn't even get more than 30,000 to ANZ in their own city.
+1

One club has fans all around the world and is a global sporting brand while Collingwood is only actually well known in a few states in Australia.
