Wow, a preliminary final for the minor premiers and not even a sellout at the tiny AAMI Park in sports mad Melbourne with no AFL or other sporting events to compete with. Laughable.

I think 28,580 is just about a sellout at AAMI ... corporates were the only seats vacant ... about 1000 of these
all seats to the general public were sold.

& how bout that TV auidence beaussie... twice the size of anything the Swans could conjur up in 2011

a Joke > the Swans :_<> :(/

AFL is culturally .. the shallowest game in Australia


it has very little by way of diversity
yes , generationally it has people of varying backgrounds play & watch it
Greeks , Italians .... etc

but so does the NRL

all other sports have present & existing diversity
the NRL... Rugby Union ... Soccer
Cricket ... Basketball ... every other sport
, except AFL 8-[
a very one dimensional ..... shallow sport is AFL :wink:

You would however remember the 70,000+ AFL crowds in Sydney though. More than an entire round of NRL games in Sydney those weekends. :(/

Stop lying. You know as well as I do there was more than 1 and in any case, they are crowds in Sydney for the AFL that the NRL can only ever dream of. You can't even sellout a 30k stadium in Melbourne for a preliminary final... yes a final for a spot in the grand final and the minor premiers Storm can't even sellout out they tiny AAMI Park. Absymal. :lol:

theres been 2.. 70K crowds for the Swans in the last 30 years
both 9 years ago
& gee... past Glory's much
hasn't been 1 since .... there won't be one again in our life time
the decline in crowds for the Swans continues .... they are a club that will struggle badly when another club GWS .. takes a portion of the small market share they currently have
both Sydney AFL sides will be basket cases for a long long time

the Storm will be the 2nd most popular side in the NRL behind the Broncos in the next 5 years averaging over 20K
& selling out Etihad for finals

the Swans will be on life support at around the same time , worse then Port Adelaide are ATM ... near to folding up altogether

great times ahead .... great times :wink:

that’s the advertising dollar of regional Australia spreaking right there.
