If AFL was the most watched sport
it would have the most watched programs year after year>>
to determine its dominance.

Which it does not>>

that's a silly conclusion. 3 high rating matches does not make a season

Fuck me dead
The most watched sport is Rl
It's been explained over & over
It's admitted by Wookie
You have something seriously wrong in your head .

AFL match today at Tio Stadium NT , Melbourne v Crows : Crowd 6,989

NRL most recent match at TIO Stadium, Crowds 7,722

The average subscription TV audience (Foxtel) for the NRL is 244,853 in 2018, compared to 180,387 for the AFL.

The average free-to-air Audience for the NRL is 612,689 in 2018, compared to 317,003 for the AFL. The AFL will say that it has cross-over timeslots and doesn’t go free to air with the same games nationally, but the raw numbers show that NRL is dominant.

The cumulative live audience for NRL games in Australia has been 43.0 million for the first 11 Rounds, compared to 43.3m last year. The AFL’s cumulative live audience is 36.9m for its first 9 rounds, compared to 42.9m last year.

I wonder what the AFL's average is for games shown in isolation, given that's what every NRL game is?

Compared to 2017, AFL TV ratings are falling even faster ... down 13.9 percent to the end of round 9, while the NRL season, which began two weeks earlier, has recorded a drop of only 0.6 percent to the end of round 11.

Pussycat, I commend you on your objective analyses here, thank you, it’s some tidy work you’re doing, tidy work indeed

Roy Master's opinion of the ratings is clearly objective. Why hasnt he come out with a similar article in recent years?

He gets his information from OzTam . So how exactly is opinion in question???????????????? when you say 'in question' do you mean just from you bubble dwellers ?????

firstly, his article about this year's 'victory' seems to suggest he believes the AFL have been ahead in previous years.

Secondly, again, raw cumulative figures mean basically nothing when the schedules are so drastically different. Yes NRL have a massive lead in fox ratings EXCEPT when the scheduling conditions are the same. In this case the AFL are either ahead, or at least comparable.

This is the point of my argument last week, show me where cumulative ratings are acknowledged, or even discussed by anyone other than Roy Masters or other parties with vested interests
