Nothing succeeds like success... 
"If you win them, they will come."...even in the rain.
I remember sitting at Swans games in the wet back in the 1990s when there was only one or two of us there.....and I'm not sure the other bloke was human.
It was a far cry from the Edelstein years.
The Swans were a basket case
Yet only a few short years later they were top of the ladder and played in a Grand Final.
Back came the crowds...and they haven't really left again.
Culture and History doesn't come overnight.
It's particulary difficult to find in a compromised competition, that is still not settled, with a talent pool that is very thinly spread, and a competition that is well short of truly professional
Don't compare it to the men's game.
That's approaching two hundred years of history with support of the game handed down through generations.
