For those interested…
For anyone with any common sense it is not remarkable.
I wonder what their definition of "supporter" is .

Seems reliable….
The survey seems consistent but I wonder what their definition of "supporter" is .
IMO a supporter, is a person that (actively) supports a team.
A supporter would be from top down be a member, attendee, a subscription or watcher.
IMO these "supporters" seem more like followers.
A follower from top down would be occasional attendee, TV watcher, media watcher.
It all depends on the question asked.
"Do you support the death penalty ?" translates to "are you for or against the death penalty"
"Do you support the Boomers, Wallabies, Opals, Socceroos etc ?" translates to "Do you like Australian national teams winning ?".
For 1 million people to say "I support the Sydney Swans" the question would have to be along the lines of
"What AFL team would you like to see win?"
The Sydney Swans.
I was there from day one when South Melbourne played in the VFL.
Because I lived in the Eastern Suburbs but also supported East Sydney AFC an original member of NSWFL in 1903
Back then there was not insignificant amount of crossover support with the Roosters flag wavers attending Bulldogs games
as the Roosters have the same colours as the Bulldogs as did most original NSWRL clubs copy their NSFL equivalents.

Also with a base of 65k it depends on how many people were asked to respond that live in Sydney compared to Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and even what part of town and then how those numbers were then extrapolated. Fair to say I don't hold much confidence in these figures.

These sorts of surveys have been delivering these sorts of results for over 20 years now.
IN fact, at one point, even the Lions may have been number one.
I think in the NRL, the Storm takes 2nd spot or something.
