It's not a popular sport here no, and the quality of the coverage does change, often from year to year. I think the fact that there are a lot of Aussies here and also the connection the AFL has with Irish Gaelic football probably warrants the coverage.
My family out there are Demons fans so I find myself one too. I watched a lot of AFL when i was there, went to a couple of games and I found myself more drawn to the Demons. I brought a jersey back and a season review on video. I really do keep meaning to follow it more than i do but i would probably need to get ESPN to do that.
