Eagles are 10 times bigger than Richmond: Brayshaw
« on: May 13, 2020, 07:09:32 PM »
West Coast is "by that far" the biggest team in the AFL: Brayshaw

“Everyone talks about Richmond and Collingwood being the biggest clubs in the competition, they’ve got no idea,” Former North Melbourne president James Brayshaw told Sportsday WA.

“West Coast are by that far the biggest team in our competition it doesn’t matter. They’ve got more money times 10 than any other club.

“They don’t need the AFL’s money. They’ve got enough of it.

They are in a two team town. We are in a town with like of coll, carl, ess, haw, st k, melb, norf, geel etc they all gets a market share of sponsor dollars. Do West Coast have 100,000 members? We are good in comparison. Brayshaw has a right to his opinion but i think we comfortably hold our own.

We're a real club - they're a soulless, manufactured franchise with a theme song to match.... :shh

Nobody says 'we're bigger than West Coast'.

They only measure their little wieners against the two big boys - tiges and pies
