ok
2017
Key AFL NSW/ACT participation statistics for 2017:
· 8.2% growth in Club football in NSW/ACT – the highest growth rate in the country
· 78% growth in Female Club football participation
· 30.4% growth in AFL 9’s participation
· 7.3% overall participation growth to 254,812 participants (vs. 237,549 in 2016)
· 9.3% growth in NAB AFL Auskick
2018 (per AFL annual report)
- 278,389 participants across 14 leagues and 260 clubs in New South Wales and the ACT in 2018.
- New South Wales and the ACT experienced 10 per cent growth in community club football, including 73 per cent growth in female club participants and an 8.3 per cent increase in umpires across the state and territory
thus, growth in particpation of 9.25%. I guess you need to perhaps re-examine this memory of yours

How does ACT & all across NSW = Western Sydney?
Thank you for providing the perfect excuse for yet again posting these figures (originally provided by BringBackTorps with sources) -
2014 GWS Sydney Zone 10 U12 boys' Comp. teams
2014 nil U12 girls' teams (in fact, no girls' Comp. teams in any age groups)
2019 GWS Sydney Zone 18 U12 boys' Comp. teams
2019 GWS Sydney Zone 11 U13 girls' Comp. teams
So that's an increase from 10 to 29 U12 or U13 teams in the GWS Sydney zone - slightly more than 2%!
Perhaps another topic for your obsession (or paranoia) might be the AFL ratings beating the NRL ratings on FTA in Brisbane last night.

5 years with millions thrown at club & grand total of 8 male teams created. Staggering growth alright.
In one age group...in five years

Knowing the cherrypicking that goes on - that would be the largest group. You know how many soccer comp's in Western Sydney with about 18 teams? You've gone from nothing to next to nothing.
From when the Giants started - so in fact should be since 2012.

Better than the decline in grassroots League.
I'm counting 26 seperate clubs (that's clubs, not just teams - most clubs have multiple teams) in the list below, covering the GWS Sydney zone (so not counting the Canberra and Riverina clubs). No way was there this many, or anywhere near it, when the Giants started -

The process re: SE Queensland and two teams has already been explained to you. Apply that to the greater Sydney region

interesting side note, AFL NSW/ACT is listed as a partner of Little Athletics NSW. Ive always thought this made perfect sense, i hope other states do the same.

Every one is entitled to an opinion you might not agree with him but to label a troll is uncalled for some of his points about crowds and growth figures do have some merit

The evidence is there. He is a troll.
He posts about nothing at all other than the Giants. Have a look at his history.
I mean even you post about other things besides bagging the 2 expansion clubs.

you arent much better in threads involving expansion clubs.
The Giants are coming along nicely after a slow start.
Using perhaps the Swans as a rough guide because they have been up there a lot lot longer.
Their membership is at 60,000 and they attract likely average crowds at SCG of 30,000 so based on that the Giants with 30,000 members should be averaging say 15,000 crowds at the home ground but they are not at present but it is to be aimed for as a rough yardstick in the absence of any other measure.
However two very low key very rich American businessmen are carrying the sponsorship of the ground which augers well for the Club, and the club with its total sponsorship placing it in the middle of the AFL sponsorship pack is not going away anytime.
Apparently they have for the first time a junior team/teams in all of their districts in their Sydney region. Blind freddy can see that fact is very important for the clubs future.
This is Sydney we are talking about folks when not to far back the game was called gayfl because it was not considered masculine enough by the fans raised on Rugby diets.
