Which AFL team has the largest fan base?

Question

I'd say it is one of the four big victorian teams: Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton or Richmond...

Answer 1

I'd love to say Geelong... but I'm pretty sure its Collingwood....

Answer 2

not member guys fans!!

its

COLLINGWOOD

RICHMOND

ESSENDON

in that order, and collingwood supporters arn't farels or passionate......they can not stand losing wait i think that makes them passionate lol

Answer 3

The interstate (non-Vic) teams have a lot of members except Brisbane and Sydney, which NRL is the dominant code.

The other four have a lot of members because they're footy mad in South Aus and Western Aus and don't have other teams stealing fans (eg. SA only has 2 teams where as Victora has 10)

Of the Victorian teams Collingwood  have the most members, but I think it would be close between Pies, Essendon and Carlton for most supporters, not members

Answer 4

going by the following afl website, adelaide with just under 48,000.

Answer 5

The four you mention plus geelong, out of them, you do mean most supporters i take it,  but  if you think about it, the crows would have a stack because of being a  two team state, they were first in from SA, same goes with the eagles in WA,  the only way you would ever really know is to make it a question on the next census forms, why not, that would be interesting.

easy make it any one over the age of say, 5 to qualify, they could do you have a team in the afl, if so who is it, same goes for members of the house hold over 5 years of age.

The more i think of  it, the more i think it's a good idea.  Otherwise it's too difficult to judge.

Answer 6

In terms of quantity, it would be Collingwood, Essendon, Sydney*, West Coast and Adelaide.

In terms of quality supporters, the Western Bulldogs would be lightyears ahead of every other team. They have supporters who are leaders of industry, politics, international sport, and medicine.

* According to polls that are often published in newspapers, the Sydney Swans have more "fans" than any other team. I suspect most of these people wouldn't know Paul Roos from the North Melbourne Roos.

Answer 7

Collingwood.

Eagles are second.

BUT ONLY BECAUSE OUR FOOTY GROUND ONLY HOLDS 40000.... THERE IS A FOUR YEAR WAITING LIST FOR SEATS!

WHEN WE GET A NEW STADIUM WE WILL OVERTAKE COLLINGWOOD IN A FLASH!

Answer 8

Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon for the Vic sides

Answer 9

collingwood

but 99% are feral

Answer 10

collingwood

Answer 11

Collingwood and Adelaide have the larggest numbers of members in the competition - but I would probably have to guess that the Crows would have more fans as SA are footy crazy and have less teams to divide their attention amongst.
