Not for me it never. I would say it did work overall as most Swans games are pretty much sell outs these days.

Lets see how the swans go if they running 2nd last. Imagine how good Perth would go if the best players in world turned up at your ground every other week like the Swans do.
The Giants are doing well.

Unfortunately, the way its spun out the Wanderers and Giants have gone in exactly opposite directions, and not in the way it looked at the start. The Wanderers are one of Australian football's great Missed Opportunities.

As far as Wanderers goes, you aint got no argument from me. The A-league had the golden egg in the Wanderers, throw in MV, SFC & lesser extent BR, AU & PG, you had a basis of a good strong league, but they threw all away.

As for Giants, sorry, I live in Sydney, outside of the media just don't hear from them from the public point of view.

That is the fault of all the thugs that thought they had an outlet to cause mayhem wherever they went. The normal scarffers , as we call them , are ok.

You can say that about pretty much anything these days. The devices and algorithms dictate what we see nowadays. It's not like it was when you'd see a range of stuff flipping through a newspaper or channel surfing. Now, if you're not interested in AFL, you won't see anything about it. I live in Melbourne and have no idea about what's going on in the AFL. The only time I might catch something is when the GF is on or if there is some sort of scandal, but even then it's a bit of a maybe.

You still get a feel of things from places like the office, cafes, pubs, your kids & their friends, junior sports etc, definitely no A-League talk, talk of Matildas & Socceroos during World cup time, lots of talk of O/S football, Rugby league, Cricket, MMA, but very little on AFL in Sydney.

Sutho big cameos your Cove and the MV ultras whatever you call them.
Big Blues always had mischief walking to and departing the SFS.
The 3 combined added to the declines.

Sure, I know when the footy is on, but I couldn't tell you which team is doing well, or who's playing who on the weekend and I'd probably even struggle to name a current player. I will admit, I'm probably a bit of a fringe case. Nobody at work follows the AFL. I have some friends/family that follow it a little bit, but they don't really talk about it (not around me anyway). I haven't been to a game in over 30 years and haven't watched a GF on the TV for at least a decade. It's just not part of my life. Always hated it growing up and have probably trained myself to tune out anything and everything AFL related. I have two toddlers at home. I barely have enough time and energy for things I am interested, let alone the things that I'm not.
