A hearty congratulations to all four clubs who between them have won a staggering 3 flags in a combined 80 campaigns since 1998, truly showing once and for all, just how important it is to be a big club and have financial security.
West Coast are now Australia's biggest club.

True size of the club is not how much they can pull when they are good. It's how much a club pulls when they are average. St Kilda pulled 50K+ against Brisbane when they were good. Doesn't mean they are big.
West Coast, Adelaide, Essendon and Collingwood have the highest floor so they are the biggest clubs.
West Coast are clear number 1 in home support/revenue, but Essendon and Collingwood have the most national support.
I thought this was a national competition

They're all the same arent they
One "summer of luvvin" and they start flopping them out and comparing their little dicks in public.
We dont need to.
We know we contribute more money to the game than any other club.
We know we are the sole reason some clubs even exist at all.
We know every other club and their fans secretly knows it.
We dont need to look for ways to measure ours.
We are the real pr0n, the rest are just stuntcoks.

Who GAF which is the biggest club and by what measure? All that matters is who is the best club.
Currently that is Richmond, having won the flag. (You can make an argument for WC, being top of the ladder, but we're only one-third of the way through the season, so too early for mine).

Theyre the biggest in WA. It helps that they only only have 2 teams in the footy mad state. 10 in Victoria means the supply and demand market works differently.
Theyre a juggernaut over there. Outside of WA, not many people would be invested in West Coast.
But Yes, the Eagles are a big, well supported, engaging club for the market they operate it, and are doing well on and off the field.

Next time Nic Nat has a relatively average game, I’m going to create a “ Is NN overrated thread? “ and even insinuate that the difference between him and Watts is not as much as people think.
That is how ful of rage I Am now.

I think WCE bring more fans to a melbourne based game than any other club (bar Freo) ever brings to Perth.

The Bombers and Magpies support interstate is dying out, as it is mainly comprised of over 60's who are missing two front teeth.
About 3 kids support interstate clubs in my kids school classes in WA and there is always that weird kid who just wants to be different.
My understanding is the Swans almost double any other clubs when it comes to people nominating a club they support#.

This waiting list is poorly understood because the Eagles have tried to keep it quiet in my opinion. I am not sure why.
A quote from Nisbett earlier this year:
"Mr Nisbett revealed that almost 6000 of the Eagles’ In The Wings members had been allocated seats at Optus Stadium after waiting up to 15 years for a membership. But there were still 9000 households on the waiting list"
Each household on the list is entitled to claim four seats once their turn comes. To get through the 6000 that came off the list, they had to break the season up and offer a lot of three game memberships. But the concept of waiting 15 years for an 11 seat membership is not widely discussed.
This has led to a lot of squatting at WCE games. People who have moved outside the state for years at a time are keeping their memberships. Most of the gap between the official attendance and the 60k max consists of empty seats that have been paid for.

The Eagles have won just the 1 premiership in the 23 years since they were gifted the 1992 and 1994 flags
1/23 is similar to Collingwood's strike rate of 1/27 and 2/59, so it's kind of fitting they've usurped the Pies as the "biggest club"

The one's that are too cheap to actually spend some money? Who cares?
If the AFL HAD ANY COURAGE ..add your own one line joke there
They would ban AFL CLUBS FROM having poker machines as a revenue source
The damage and destruction gambling does to families had reached the same plateau as drugs
Ok I’ll hop off my soap box for now
On the biggest club thing ..
It’s really a silly argument

If Carlton could string together 2 wins in a row then we would truly see who the biggest club is.

It's a capitalist liberal society, with that logic, we should also ban people from making unwise business decisions and investing in crypto.
I'll let myself out.
I get that ...maybe it’s what I see each day in my job that skews my thoughts
That’s ok
But gambling is a serious social issue .....it’s destroying families and kids lives
Do we want our game associated with that

Not really tbh, now that you mention it. It is strange AFL preaches the morality card whenever they can, but when it comes to something that makes them money. They turn a blind eye.
