I don't make the numbers, I just report 'em

Roy Morgan Research has just completed a comprehensive survey of AFL supporters, and found a few little gems. Compared to other AFL supporters:

  • Carlton fans are 30% more likely to agree that “I sometimes use force to get things done”;

  • Collingwood fans are 12% more likely to agree that “None of this stuff about the information super-highway makes sense to me”;

  • Essendon fans are nearly twice as likely to have consumed Red Bull in the last seven days;

  • Hawthorn fans are 13% more likely to agree that “I’m a bit of an intellectual”;

  • Swans fans are 15% more likely to agree that “I drink more premium beer now than I used to”;

  • St Kilda fans are 52% more likely to agree that “The food I eat is all, or almost all, vegetarian”;

  • Richmond fans are 70% more likely to agree that “I consider myself a homosexual”.
