Most popular Australian clubs and teams on Twitter

This entry was posted by Laura on Thursday, 29 July, 2010 at

I haven’t done an update in a month or so… but this is my list of Australian clubs, leagues and athletes on Twitter.  It is sorted by followers.  The list is rather comprehensive but not all comprehensive.  A few accounts have been deleted since the last time I did this.  Those accounts aren’t noted this time around. And unlike the last time around, I haven’t htmled the Twitter accounts.  If you see any people or clubs or fansites that I’m missing, let me know in the comments.

One of the comments included links to several Australian athletes on Twitter that I had missed. Some of these athletes aren’t active in Australian leagues so they don’t necessarily really fit well with most of the people and leagues on the list… but included below for interest. Any more names of people, leagues and clubs I’m missing, let me know. :)

  • Added them on as a separate table on the end. Will include them on any future updates of this list. :)
  • Thinking of Bogut (who isn't active in an Australian league right now).

    There are these 2 Indigenous Australian basketballers who might be in the NBA one day.

    Nathan Jawai and Patrick Mills.

    Watch out for these two.

    (Thanks to Sport and Style for the tip).
  • Thank you.

    The person behind OzzieSport is always interested to see what you think.

    It would be great to see where they fit in the table.

    Yes: Bogut IS popular. And Whincup too.

    Thank you for the ex-Essendon players, too.

    Warne's is probably the one Twitterer of the people you mention I've actually looked at.
