This West Sydney business will not eventuate. The AFL will end up with a team in Tas instead as they should. Thats the popular view coming from Melbourne anyway.
WS is a disaster waiting happen look at the Swans and Brisbane two of the lowest supported clubs in the AFL and both have a state to themselves and have received around 50 milion dollars of AFL support.
This TV business is also a crock of crap, the AFL would be getting only marginaly less without Sydney and Brisbane teams. We certainly don`t need or want two more unwanted clubs.
As for Tassie, good luck you guys deserve a team and Melbourne people will take a Tasmanian club seriously. Unlike the West Sydney Wizards or whatever crap they come up with.
All introducing these plastic clubs does is tarnish the AFL image in the real Football states. Never forget where your bread is buttered.
Saying all of that if West Sydney or anyone else can prove to the Football community that they genuinily want a team well they should be considered. As it stands at the moment they couldnt give two shits about AFL and thats a fact.

I'm not sure whether you're in denial or just plain thick.
I'll spell it out as simply as possible for you.
2 matches with identical average audiences:
Richmond v Hawthorn:
409k viewers that watched, on average, for 56 minutes.
Raiders v Knights:
303k viewers that watched, on average, for 50 minutes.
So the AFL had more viewers that watched for longer.
That is why the AFL absolutely destroys the NRL in raising money from TV rights, and why average audiences are not a valid comparison.

It's clear you're not understanding as you're making up figures.
Kim Williams only recently stated Foxtel paid a decent amount for the AFL to try and boost subscribers. He takes Rugby League supporters for granted judging by his comments. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/nrl/story/0,27074,24042437-14823,00.html
His arrogancy will cost him.

I'm sure its available, but not freely.
All Kim Williams is doing is stating the beeding obvious -
Kim Williams knows what David Gallop knows, what all the TV execs and advertisers know, and anybody without blinkers and not in denial also know - that overall across the country, the AFL has far more followers - and hence potential or actual TV viewers than the NRL. Simple as that.
Pay Tv will not release Sydney only figures per program because the audience is too small.
They only like to release figures for "all channels combined" when releasing such figures per market.
Never mind the Tasmanian TV ratings - The Saturday night AFL ratings for Sydney was more than Adelaide or Perth! -

Sydney -127,000
Adelaide - 125,000
Perth - 121,000
This is one of the main rreasons why West Sydney will get a new club ahead of Tasmania.

But less than the movie on 7 and only just beat Mythbusters LOL
Not too bad given the game in Sydney was live on Fox and another 25,000 at the game. Pushing a total audience of 180-200k.
Trolls just can't help themselves with their paranoia.
So it wasn't #1 on Saturday night? - just like the NRL is getting crapped on by Better Home & Gardens for its showpiece games on Friday nights - in its Sydney heartland.And the AFL beating one of my favourites, Mythbusters in Sydney, is no mean feat - much moreso as the AFL has the average over 3 hours, not just 30 minutes or 2 hours like the movie and it was live on Foxtel. The AFL and ch10 would be happy with that.
But my post wasn't meant for paranoid trolls - but rather to show the value of TV rights in Sydney vis-a-vis Tasmania (which is the thread topic) by pointing out the Saturday night viewers in Sydney outnumbered the numbers in Adelaide or Perth, and would have been , many many more than Tasmania.
