I know Sydney only has one team. So most Sydney people will say they support the Swans. But come on, how many of them actually really follow AFL and go to there games and buy memberships.
Collingwood gets the biggest crowds and most members.  So I would always put them higher then every other team. As much as I dislike them.

We are top 4 again in crowds and top 5 in memberships yet we're supposedly bottom 6 in supporters ... yeah right!  ::)

Come back in 5 years when we should be regular finalists and this poll will miraculously say our fanbase has doubled  ::). Outside the two expansion clubs the AFL sees us as its greatest chance of further expansion  :thumbsup. Benny Gale said earlier this year we have around 100k former members out there.

Wouldn't it be great if they all signed up again. Would have to cap it so we can fit in the MCG. No more Etihad home games because we won't fit etc etc.
