Not often I ever agree with you Terry but yeah.. true. The AFL and NRL absolutely dominate all other sports.

Re: Could the A-League collapse all together?
If all of NSW and QLd were like Victoria is in regard to RL I would agree. However Aussie Rules is very strong in Riverena and has a strong presence within NSW and a very strong presence in QLD, particularly South East (and Port Douglasazif wrote: Wed Mar 20, 2024 10:20 amthe main most populated part of Australia codeQuolls2019 wrote: Wed Mar 20, 2024 9:41 amThe North Eastern Code

So yeah - if NSW and QLD were like Victoria is in regard to RL there may be a valid point to state "two most populous states follow RL) - but they aren't.

Super Rugby attendances are being reported this season and they are considerably better than A-League.

). So I don't think counting the majority of the population of QLD and NSW is reality - whereas you can be pretty sure by and large, in Tassie, Victoria, S.A and W.A RL has a very small presence. It is getting better in victoria with the Storm getting followers and grassroots growing a little - but from a very very small base - from may 10 to 13 clubs over past years (still 1 league). W.A has been doing some work also at grassroots too.
So yeah - if NSW and QLD were like Victoria is in regard to RL there may be a valid point to state "two most populous states follow RL) - but they aren't.
support for AFL in most of NSW & QLD is niche at best ,
having a presence is irrelevant if you can't convert that into a deeper interest ( soccer is the proof) .... apart from the ex pats watching AFL in nsw & qld . its still a weird little sport that is not resonating with locals
