So, How Many Teams Are We Talking About?
Here's the drumroll please answer: Melbourne boasts a whopping nine AFL teams! That's right, folks, enough footy grounds to rival the number of pasty pies you scoff down at the MCG on a grand final day.

Now, Melbourne might be the champion, but let's not forget that Victoria, as a whole state, nabs a total of ten teams. That's right, there's one other Victorian city (we see you, Geelong!) holding its own in the AFL arena. But hey, Melbourne gets the bragging rights for now.

Melbourne's love for AFL runs deep, with some of the league's most historic and celebrated teams hailing from the city. We're talking titans like:
