I'm surprised there hasn't already been a thread made about this thus far, but...

In terms of each club's membership concentration:
Adelaide - 75% within a 5km radius veering E/S of Melbourne
Brisbane - N/A
Carlton - 75% stretching from 4km to 22km N/NE of Melbourne
Collingwood - 2 clusters... one 6km to 14km N of Melbourne (45%), the other in the city centre (40%)
Essendon - high concentration in the western suburbs (50% stretching W/NW 5km to 25km)
Fremantle - scattered
Geelong - 90% within Geelong and the surrounding areas
Gold Coast - scattered
GWS Giants - scattered
Hawthorn - 80% stretching from 3km to 32km E/SE of Melbourne
North Melbourne - 45% stretching from 2km to 12km N of Melbourne (with Tassie the 4th highest concentration)
Melbourne - 70% stretching 3km to 20km E/SE of Melbourne and along the bayside
Port Adelaide - 70% scattered E/SE of Melbourne
Richmond - high concentration in the inner E/SE suburbs (70%) and bayside suburbs
St Kilda - 70% concentration trailing the bay (1/5 members bayside are St Kilda members)
Sydney Swans - scattered with a focus on the bay and in the SE suburbs
West Coast - scattered
Western Bulldogs - 100% veering W/NW of Melbourne
Interestingly North Melbourne have a higher concentration of members in Tasmania than Hawthorn according to the map.
Does any of this surprise you? How does it fit with popular / traditional supporter stereotypes?
