I like listening to SEN sports day with Healy & Kane, and thought they raised an interesting observation about GWS and the growth there in western Sydney. Think there was 8k at the GWS-Freo game, now that’s probably not the best game to take note of attendance but does make you think, will that club and fanbase really grow? Especially in a heavily NRL dominated state.

I guess it's a dual brand strategy with Canberra as well

Sydney is a massive place so the potential is there
I think the AFL hastily put a team in there because Soccer did and it's a rugby heart land
They wanted to at least have a footprint

8k is a sizeable league crowd, so I wouldn't be too concerned.

Better to measure them up against a big Victorian club, I reckon

Theres only one choice for me...

Magnificent.

And the fact they captured the moment where Eddie realised he'd barracked for the wrong club for his entire life was priceless as well.

Not sure if this is the correct thread?

Geez the teams at the top of that table are so heavily favoured that the 7th placed has a negative number.

They've gone all out for Junior Development up there. All the prestigious schools have introduced AFL football for both male and female students. It's well taken up, partly because of the perception that's there's a lesser chance of injury than the no neck game, and more exciting/kinetic than Soccer. The Little leaguers get promotional stuff, like tix to Swans games.

So the top three of those ranked freebies have been Premiers in that time.
Must be very skilled in drawing frees, as well as class over shitkickers who give up frees, during their GF year.
Norf look like they're getting the sympathy call.

A beautiful video - would love to see more content like this from all clubs as it really gives an insight into things compared with just 30 second snippets

Spot on 100% correct

Its a brave new changing world with all these National Sporting competions in Australia

To think that Geelong in the womens AFL team played i think Sydney at Henson Park in Newtown NSW, that was the former home ground of the Newtown Jets ( John Singletons team ) in the NRL , before they got kicked out of the comp in the early 80s

Going back in time to think that a ladies AFL game would one day be played at Henson Park , you would shake your head in disbelief .

"There's no advantage to playing teams "away" at our home ground"

- Collingwood supporters, probably.

Here's a bit more info.

But honestly, if he's happy to defraud a company of $8m, he's more than happy to act unjustly in his 'part time' role, surely?

AFL umpire on the run after allegedly stealing $8.7million

Former AFL Umpires Association president Troy Pannell created controversy on the field during his long career - and now he's doing it off the field as well.
