Union is as popular as ghandi was with the British, especially since the Wallabies went to shit. You can't bump into someone without them trying to convert you to their AFL team if you dont have one. Soccer is picking up mostly because of large middle eastern migrants, Lebanese, africans and just a gentler sport in general to get your kids into it. Cricket is everymans sport and still the national game but doesn't have that tribalism that AFL does. Basketball is also growing mainly because of the popularity of the NBA and its revamped national NBL comp being steady. Basketball has a huge casual player and fan base in Aus but not sure if that translates to viewership. Think most people just follow the NBA and then unterest peaks for Olympics etc. Aus bbl team is getting strong. Tennis is also huge. Melbourne open etc, elitist love it and it translates nicely into watercooler talk in offices during major tournaments. Ash Barty is a national star and massive name over here right now. Tennis has a massive participation boom because of aging millennial taking it up for fun. Golf goes alright and almost everyone I know, young or old is keen to go a few rounds.
