Sydney swans? Most popular club in NSW. Qld lions 2nd or 3rd most popular football club in Qld. Suns doing ok in a territory where most sports fail. NRL expansion club, Storm, done well, but really the NRL’s equivalent of the Giants. Don't know why you keep pushing this crap, Azif you know what you...

Another amazing performance last night against Manly , down 16-4 10 from HT they just refused to let it go lead 20-16 at halftime & nutted out a tough 2nd half to win 30-24 Herbie Farnworth was just huge in his return from Injury. The Hammer is back for magic round next week against the Tigers ,...

the fumbling game i think is starting to realise its enormous limitations & how little its expansion program that started in 1982 has progressed the sport outside its traditional markets Sydney swans? Most popular club in NSW. Qld lions 2nd or 3rd most popular football club in Qld. Suns doing o...

The following for the drops & fumbles in Canberra is hardly strong over the 12 years of coming to Canberra GWS have averaged about 10,000 a game & thats for a team that has performed very well , better support then western sydney , but thats not saying much. TV ratings are also poor a full t...

You see - all the reasons you mention as to not put a team in Newcastle are the very reasons I think they should. So we at least agree that AFL is not popular and it is a potential growth area - one of a few limited ones available to the AFL at that. There is no way Perth would have a second team -...

the AFL would rather LOSE 30million a year than pull the Giants.. and why they can afford it they will continue to do so.. Logistically AFL only have a few options of expansion Bunbury / Busselton as 1 team Darwin Canberra All small regional bases. Canberra looks the winner Canberra the obvious - b...

Good info here. Particularly interesting that 3 AFL games didn't make the top 20 cut off. Great news for the NRL. Not so much the fumbling game. https://twitter.com/WSWanderingEels/status/1787772742743601264 the weather would have had a bit to do with it , but that was a big weekend for the NRL on ...

Don't quite trust the STV figures for the AFL streaming ( kayo) being larger ( significantly) then foxtel.

but be that as it may
NRL STV average last round for the 6 games reported ( 583K )
AFL for 7 games ( 446K)

How good would a dolphins v broncos grand final be! had an all QLD GF in the NRL already , 2015 Broncos V Cowboys was a classic won by Nth Qld a Phins V Broncs GF won't happen in 2024 , both teams just a bit off the pace being set by Penrith , the Sharks .. Melbourne & the Roosters but it will ...

Decimated by injuries looking like they were about to enter a phase of struggling as a result with a flat uninspired performance against Newcastle last week at home & no one expecting them to get near the Cowboys ( who btw flogged them in rnd 1) in Townsville last night well don't ever write off...
