A lot of Sydney siders who are merely casual observers identify as Swans fans, but aren't are super involved.

Plus side for those from the traditional AFL states, moving forward, the Giants will dilute that pool and the swans will slide down a little in this relatively meaningless poll

To be fair, Sydney have a huge fan base when they're all mobilised, and thanks to the South Melbourne link also probably have the largest supporter base outside their home state.

But yeah, obviously this poll does count 'casual' fans in the same way as more ardent fans, and it shows. I think the Storm do well in the NRL equivalent poll, and they're much, much smaller than the Swans.

The support the Swans had at that Sydney derby in Perth was remarkable

I reckon if you divide Lions, Swan and. GWS by three and halve GC (to allow for the % of people in those ,Arieta’s who dint really follow footy), that is about right.

hahahhahahahaha are you still going on about roy morgan polls :drunk: I love how Richmond lives rent-free in your head.
The poll is based on 15,000 people from 14+ No one takes roy morgan seriously except you it seems. How do you get sucked into all this. You started a thread on a 15K survey LOL

Well 100K+ says we are the biggest and the Eagles have joined us and leapfrogged the pies. Oh there's Collingwood on 76K
See the graph below I've underlined the most important part OFFICIAL and Not some 15K survey "average 2K poll" around each state lmfaoooo

Must be accurate


I'm with ya Tigs Roy Morgan :p
Andrews has been a disaster, how anyone can think he's done a good job beggars belief when he is responsible for the second wave. Ohh its a roy morgan poll well that explains it, surveyed only 2,325 from 6.7 million Victorians. Yep us Victorians approve LMAO Dan Andrews is public enemy No 1 with most Victorians

This special Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey was conducted with a Victoria-wide cross-section of 2,325 Victorians aged 18+ conducted on Tuesday September 8 – Wednesday September 9, 2020.

WCE would be the biggest club in the country.

Richmond, Collingwood, Adelaide all just behind
 
From a Sydney perspective the disparity between the Bloods and the Giants is interesting.

The North figures would disappoint their core fans and the AFL.

No doubt those pushing for a Tasmanian team would be interested in the North numbers.

Let’s talk crowd numbers considering that Collingwood is the only club I’m the afl to draw over 1.2 million during the home and away season on 6 occasions including last year yet Richmond have never done this.
Also Collingwood are 9.4 million in front of Richmond during the home and away season all considering the mighty tigers starting playing all their home games at the mcg since 1965 and Collingwood only moved to the mcg in 2000!!

what Roy Morgan poll shows that Collingwood is a truly national club unlike the eastern suburbs local team in Richmond
