Reckon Eddie, once he sobered up this morning, would have thrown up his coffee reading the figures. 9/PBL could only dream of those figures for a day game!

40% for 10, probably means only 20% for 7 and 20% for 9, and 20% for ABC & SBS in Sydney. I right rogering in anyones language.

What do you mean little competition?
If the NRL had any guts to ensure its Anzac game was on freetoair then the AFL would have competition.
The NRL knows it will get blown out of the water so it hides on Pay TV.
errr...ok.
Not arguing the point that the AFL did great (in Vic, SA and WA).
I'm not going to be an idiot and say the the AFL rates highly in NSW and Qld, because it doesn't.
But yesterday's game rated exceptionally well in NSW and Qld, given there was no local team involved and it was on in an afternoon timeslot. You must concede that.
If it rated 130,000 in Sydney without the Swans, what would it have rated if the Swans were involved against Essendon, Collingwood or West Coast? Double? Certainly over 200K. And then what if it was a Wednesday night game instead of middle of the arvo? Add another 50K, maybe?
No. I won't.
It was a public holiday (which would have increased the potential viewing audience) and there was little to no FTA competition.
The Brisbane ratings are stagnant - they have not increased on the year before.
The Brisbane ratings are nothing to 'crow about' IMO.
The ratings are good Le Kook. They'd be more than acceptable in prime time for a non Swans or Lions game let alone the middle of the afternoon. Hell, it's probably a higher rating than the Swans will get in prime time with the Swans involved for many of their games.
If you cant admit that, you are simply trolling. No one thinks the NSW and Q ratings are huge but they are a hell of a lot more than the figure in Melbourne would be for a live St.George vs Parramatte (the two most supported Sydney teams) match live on free-to air Australia wide.
The AFL has a presence in Qld and NSW that the NRL can only dream about in their development areas.
It was also pouring with rain, plenty would have been at home.
I agree. What were the other viewing options at the time? Dr Phil and Days of Our Lives?
Of course the footy was going to receive high shares.But the conditions for the ANZAC day match (public holiday, no FTA competition, raining in Sydney) are far more favourable to ratings success then a match held in the normal weekend 'primetime' or afternoon timeslots.
I thought you were the bloke who loved the 'like vs like' comparison?
Guess not.
A comment which would only infer that the Swans and Lions TV ratings are poor.

So the peak was lower than the average?
Have you been doing the books down at North Melbourne over the years by any chance?
Yeah lets all shut up shop and only play Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond games every week, that will please the TV audience, the attendance records.
What I am saying is rigging the draw is deterimental to the smaller clubs in the long term.
Sorry meant RIGGED. Can't you see that the rigged draw makes the big clubs richer, yes the smaller clubs get a financial hand out but the exposure gives the big clubs more marketing, more members and they grow faster. The smaller clubs cannot compete with this.
You know what, it was North Melbournes idea to have Friday nights, but it was stolen off them, through the greedy big clubs power they yield at AFL house.
Ok, fine if its just another day, lets have more games on.
Maybe ur doing them...1.689 lower than 1.192m? Maffs is tuff innit.
Well, lets compare it. NRL has been shown on Sunday afternoons in Perth all season. Only game shown on FTA in Perth all week mind you, so you'd expect it to rate reasonably well as you'd have thought all the RL supporters in Perth to be tuned in to their one and only match for the week.
The last match averaged 13,000 in Perth.
Just confirming, that's an average TV audience for a 2pm-4pm timeslot on a Sunday of thirteen thousand in a city of about 1.6 million.
Perhaps you could point out for me exactly how the "rigged" draw means Essendon play less interstate games. We play WA twice, SA twice & a trip to Sydney. Thats the top 4 from last year as well as an emerging Port all on their own dung heap. Gee we've been gifted!
The problem with you & your club is this charity mentality. Rather than innovating you prefer to sit back while others take the lead & then winge & expect it handed to you.
As has been pointed out several times North don't get to have Friday nights to themselves because they simply couldn't make it as succesful as other clubs. Do you think we'd still have the Anzac day game if only 30K turned up & bugger all watched on telly - of course not.
You call the bigger clubs greedy but overlook the fact that all they do is look out for themselves just like your club does. This is a competition not a commune. Have you ever thought about what all the "big" clubs actually have in common. Thats right, on-field success. You club has only won 1 flag & that is the main reason why you don't have many supporters not some marketing conspiracy from the AFL. If you were more succesful you would have more fans & would get more prime-time exposure meaning more advertising revenue. Its not rocket science is simple business.
