Ben Fordham looking for attention claims there are nearly 80,000 AFL members however he fails to mention the GWS have members in Canberra and the Swans have members in Victoria included in their totals.

Looking at the numbers I could find GWS in 2017 had 4100 of 13,500 members in ACT or 30%

The Swans had 12,000 of 56,000 members in 2016 in Victoria or 21%

So going on these percentages would it be safe to assume in 2018 that in Sydney:

GWS have14,100 members

and Swans 45,800 members

so 59,900 in total a long way off nearly 80,000 members in Sydney this attention seeker claimed.

The paid for comment puff pieces need to be countered with the some other facts if the term , in Sydney is going to be used.
The Swines have about 25% of their members residing outside of Sydney & the Midgets a staggering 50% leaving them with a figure that has them in last place for members for professional football teams in Sydney

Most Sydney NRL clubs would have single digit percentages of their members living elsewhere.

Its well known among aFL fans that the aFL fudge crowd numbers for certain clubs and certainly fudge junior playing numbers everywhere. Plus lets not forget the amount of freebies given out for midgets, thuns and kittens home games

Buy our NRL teams have 10,000 - 20,000 max?! I hate code wars, sports in general are all all pretty good.
