The league was discussed in the previous post. I just don’t want to group too many networks in one post, even if there isn’t much to say. In this case, while LiveJournal has a much larger comparative Australian audience than LiveJournal clones, the size of the community for AFL Canberra teams is still practically non-existent: Only one person list a team as an interest. This would be a Belconnen Magpies fan from Melbourne who was born in 1975. The situation on blogger isn’t much better: No one lists one of these teams as an interest.

AFL Canberra is a local Australian rules football league based in Canberra and affiliated with the AFL. The teams in the league are Ainslie Football Club, Belconnen Magpies, Eastlake Football Club, Queanbeyan Tigers, Sydney Swans Reserves, and Tuggeranong Hawks. Some of the players in this league have been called up to train with AFL teams and one team is officially affiliated with the Sydney Swans. The league’s core audience is centered around Canberra, though Wikipedia says the audience has decreased as other sports have grown in popularity.
Given the small size of the potential fanbase for the league and the small size of the communities on LiveJournal clones, the assumption is that the potential interest in the league would be tiny to non-existent. For Dreamwidth, DeadJournal, InsaneJournal, Blurty, Inksome, CrazyLife and scribbld, this is true. There are zero people who list any of these teams as an interest on those services. The single exception to this lack of interest involves a Belconnen Magpies fan on JournalFen. That individual last updated 302 weeks ago and is from the ACT. They were born in 1975.

I’m still looking at the NBL and this time, I’m looking at people interested in the teams on Facebook. Today, using the Create Ad page, I set the variables for all with the exception of the country. That I set for Australia. I got the following table:
NBL on Facebook

Adelaide 36ers |
2,200 |

Brisbane Bullets |

There aren’t any particular patterns here that can be readily explained such as higher interest in teams from non-major leagues existing outside of Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. (Melbourne’s A-League team is first, with Adelaide in second, Sydney in third, Perth in fourth and Brisbane in fifth.)
