A minor comp lol you wish.. Do you think multiple sponsorship and tv coverage is coverage is minor?? Not to mention teams which have beaten premiership nrl clubs. You are a funny guy, you do realise there are 5 English Rugby League players playing in this weeks nrl grand final? Tell me what afl has...

why cant swans get anyone watching on tv? 500k, that's pretty pathetic.

for comparison, the storm pulled 803k (melbourne only) in 2012 nrl gf. while the swans only got 740k in sydney in 2012.

leave aside the fact that sydney has an extra 0.5 million people than melbourne.

I said 65-75k for the souths vs roosters and between 45 and 55k for the panthers vs bulldogs. I haven't seen anyone saying both will hit 80k. And I seem to remember a few of you saying all these teams are the biggest in Sydney yet it looks like the record will not be beaten. with $20 tickets $50 fa...

it just says a lot about your product that expansion overseas has continually failed. meanwhile, international RL expansion has gone decently from post super league. NZ is doing great, Fiji is doing amazingly, UK is doing well after the RLWC last year especially. 2 African countries just became part...

AFL can generate as much money as it likes, does'nt change the fact that AFL has been a massive failure in every country it has been shown to outside Australia lol How is that NZ AFL team going???? LOL HAHAHAHA!!!! who cares? Its Australias game. next youll claim NFL is a failure for failing to exp...

couldn't find geographic distribution,

but as for 'people talking about it' they are dead even on 99k, but the AFLs GF was 2 days ago, while the NRLs is yet to happen so it should shoot far ahead of the afls peak. i saw a similar result last year from memory.

More entertaining than what was being played on the pitch :lol: yep, thats why 100k brought tickets paying several hundreds of dollars up wards for just basic tickets. as opposite to the NRl finals where the crowds have been pathetic & tickets selling for $20 a ticket :thumbleft: maybe the NRL ...

the way a sport demonstrates its popularity is through ratings and crowds, correct? and this will acomplish both, meanwhile afl will twiddle its thumbs till march next year with nothing but a crappy draft to occupy them. in that time, we'll pull in a few hundred thousand more people in attendance an...

I thought it would be interesting to compare the AFL and NRL facebook likes. Why does the NRL tend to get so many more likes than the AFL? AFL: Collingwood: 310,517 Essendon: 299,364 Hawthorn: 251,666 Carlton: 216,992 West Coast: 209,407 Sydney: 204,332 Richmond: 168,414 Adelaide: 164,446 Fremantle...

wow that's actually really good! 2 mil for both

lets see if that continues next week with the GF. it should do with the 43 years, and great run of the dogs. But it'll be hard since theyre both sydney teams. Broncos + Souths probably would have pushed 4 million.

to answer the original question, the AFL appears to be better able to convert the average fan into attending games while NRL fans tend to watch at home. That's for a number of reasons, i think the product of RL is better enjoyed on TV while the aerial aspect of AFL lends itself more to a real world ...

Found the post: "AFL 550k Collingwood 244k Essendon 242k St. Kilda 93k Hawthorn 128k West Coast 144k Carlton 150k Sydney Swans 125k Richmond 122k Adelaide 109k Freemantle 98k Geelong 64k Port Adelaide 58k North Melbourne 54k Western Bulldogs 57k Brisbane Lions 63k Suns 63k Melbourne 35k Giants ...

oh fuck off with that..given the season hasnt even ended yet for the NRL. ffs hmmm.... a coherent AFL supporter? this is weird. but yeah, pretty stupid to compare either codes against the a league. Dogs membership literally went live today. and i doubt auto renewals (usually many thousands) have ki...

im pretty sure i totalled up all the clubs likes last year or so with similar results, but it's nice to get an update!

NRL to crack 1 million well before the AFL does

edit: ill go back and find that post actually. see if the gap has widened or closed
