I don’t agree with your assertion either that the tigers have somehow only been covered or supported heavily since the GF 17, for a club that hadn’t won a premiership in over 30 years 16 membership was 75k and in 19 Essendon have 80k and Carlton 60k.
The members and supporters were always there but the media spotlight in the wilderness years was not as heavy as it was with the Pies in their lean years. Granted the other "three" ALWAYS have high scrutiny in lean years but not to the same level as the Pies.
