PORT ADELAIDE supporters love footy.

And now there’s undisputable evidence to prove it: market research.

Roy Morgan Research has just released a new report showing Port Adelaide supporters are the most engaged in the AFL.

That probably doesn’t come as a surprise, but hey, everyone loves seeing stats that say how good they are, so here’s how it breaks down, according to Roy:

Watching AFL on TV: the league’s five most—and five least—engaged supporters by team

Attending AFL matches: the league’s five most—and five least—engaged supporters by team

Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director for Roy Morgan Research said Port supporters are the benchmark for football support.

"Port Adelaide and North Melbourne fans set a high standard: not only are they more likely than other teams’ supporters to watch AFL broadcasts, but they are also in the top five for match attendance," he says.

“Naturally, AFL supporters outstrip the population average for watching and attending matches, but even then, levels of engagement vary dramatically.

"For example, three of the five teams with the highest proportion of supporters who attend matches are Victorian, which makes sense, considering that far more matches are held in Victoria than any other state. Conversely, three of the five teams whose supporters are most likely to tune in to TV broadcasts are from states other than Victoria."

So, basically, Port supporters love footy more than anyone else.

High praise indeed!
