Don’t Richmond play Carlton first round of every afl season?! Nothing fixed or rigged about that 

probably won’t affect crowd numbers much cos there was hardly anyone at City game Tuesday night with no other codes playing same time

the AFL is completely rigged. 

they doctor the draw and choose who plays each other twice based on revenue 

they also have match fixing, but they call it 'tanking'

No doubt but it IS popular with the crowds.

nearly 90 thousand at the MCG last night versus what about 2 thousand at AAMI?  

Also Aleague shouldnt be complaining about doctored draws based on revenue.... :P

There is no doubt that AFL is the biggest game in the world in Melbourne, it's outside Melb, Adel & Perth where they struggle.

1st game of the season, there has been no live AFL anywhere in the world since last Sept, every AFL must've been gagging for a game.
Giants even promoted the come & hate Collingwood game & enticed all Melb people living in Sydney to game.

The Sydney Derby, playing in the pathetic A-League (i used to attend with 20-30 friends now less than 5) with no marketing, with all the issues re APL's governing body got more fans than the Giants.

Come to Sydney next time either Giants or Swans in GF & see how big support is outside of the Eastern surburbs.

You believe too much in the Melb media. The TV numbers are so small.

The A-League struggles in Sydney, hardly any talk in pubs, cafes & work places. The Pubs even those near the stadium don't show the A-League.
But stop listening to the Melbourne media, the pubs have the AFL on, hardly anyone watching, go to pubs, cafes or work places & you hardly hear anyone talking AFL.

Come back & tell how many in Sydney watched these games.

Listen I live here I know the feeling. Swans were in GF 2 years ago, you would hardly know it.

No houses with swans flags, no cars, hardly anyone wearing swans merch, pubs weren't packed.

Are there many houses with Macarthur or Sydney City flags mate? Are the pubs packed to watch the Aleague .... I believe you about AFL not being a big thing in Sydney but the crowds in the stands tell another story.

Jesus mate, thats just not true. 

https://www.mediaweek.com.au/tv-ratings-march-7-2024-afl-2024-season-opener-reaches-2-3-million-on-seven/

Whats the comeback, that less people in Sydney own a televison so the 2.3 million are all in Collingwood and Richmond?

The new ratings method shows national figures only.  They are not split into the different markets now.  From historical figures maybe 10% would live in Sydney.
