Good on em
Along with the Victory , Heart ... & the Rebels
the Victorian Capital gets international exposure through these teams & their " global" sports ( sports played professionally in more then one country)
however theres a few victorian clubs ..from a very abscure sport .. notablely missing from the above list
hmmmmm

I bet 95% of people in England dont even know its on.
They prefer to watch English Football instead of Rugby League just like most Australians like to watch Australian Football over Rugby League

Average 12k in premiership year. Dismal!

Allowing for the NRLs habit of counting staff, players, media etc
But if you think 12k crowd is good then well done
