Western Sydney 1 Rugby league 2 soccer 3 cricket 4 AFL and that's if they are lucky i think basketball holds more weight in the community

Netball is much more popular than AFL in western sydney, as is lawn bowls, hockey and basketball. Darts and croquet, along with car racing and foxy boxing are also probably more important to the western syd community than the GWS giants. Latest scoop is GWS is offering to fly anyone who becomes a cheer squad member to all their away games. That's right folks, GWS is paying big bucks for its fans.

Pfft

Where are the crowds and tv ratings for most of that list? They certainly wouldn't be higher than the AFL

And whatever you say about the AFL in Sydney you can divide it by 3 for the NRL outside NSW Qld.
