Collingwood Magpies(451)
Essendon Bombers(384)
West Coast Eagles(321)
Hawthorn Hawks(302)
Carlton Blues(291)
Sydney Swans(288)
Richmond Tigers(280)
Brisbane Lions(279)
St Kilda Saints(258)
Kangaroos(242)
Adelaide Crows(228)
Western Bulldogs(227)
Geelong Cats(218)
Port Adelaide Power(188)
Melbourne Demons(181)
Fremantle Dockers(153)
You can look at the crowd numbers, the TV ratings, the membership sales and here is another way to see how popular the AFL teams are. The numbers correspond to the auctions on ebay for sports memorabilia. While it should be pointed out that some of the newer teams would have produced less memorabilia, the list above is probably close to the real thing for the popularity of the teams.
The Kangaroos are a bit high, the Crows should be a lot higher and Melbourne is probably in the right spot. Collingwood like to claim that they are the biggest club, and this list seems to agree.

Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and Carlton were the top 4 in crowds. The big 4 will always be the big 4.
Adelaide has 50,000 members and a waiting list.
