So in reality it was bucketing down rain for the AFL game and Sunny for the NRL game



Definetely not bickering down for suns game - in fact it rained only in the morning . On Sunday - where I’m at - it rained later evening - in fact went for a nice walk and coffee that morning around ...

So over 13000 - on a cold and sometimes rainy day (I was freezing - did have a jumper but should havce put a t-shirt underneath) - although a touch of sun came out later in day - which funnily enough Gerald Wheatley commented on in the broadcast on SEN - was late in the game as was directly ...

so a local derby the Queensland Cowboys vs Gold Cost titans drew 13,382k

the Suns vs Melbourne who are not a big club 13,062K

bit by bit by bit the AFL grows!

deep down your this and shit scared from that!


Was a good crowd I thought for the suns. It was a crap day - rained in morning ...

At the Suns game - told they’re expecting 12000. Looks about at least that - but I can have my usual standing spot without any issue so tells me not a big crowd.

SUNDAY FTA FOOTY

NRL 476k
AFL 306k

Split scheduling and overlapping games really needs to be fixed by the AFL on Sundays.

Every man to his dog compain about this - there's an easy fix - so must be a reason the AFL persist?

The Pies V Suns game - cost me $125.00 dollars for a concession ticket for my son. Cheapest seat available. I get mine for free as a member - even though it is ticketed only.

Looking forward to the Expansion Cup this weekend with Greater Western Sydney having never lost a game against the Gold Coast at home.

Hence I said bi weekly ….

Freddy, there will never ever be a team in Darwin or Newcastle. And the only chance Canberra has is if the Big Dill moves GWS there lock stock and barrel. And they'd still be solely reliant on fumblehouse for their existence.

The AFL is maxxed out pal. No further fulltime 'expansion' will ...

I think it is the bi-weekly regular games that will be of interest. You'd expect when they start it should be decent enough - and a sold out first game you'd think. But from there - with just locals ?? That will be the test - but even if not large or decent crowds in first few years, the idea is to ...

Whilst I’m not a big fan of Eddie, he does have a strategic mind and some interesting ideas about growing our great game.

How about the always financially struggling North Melbourne relocated, to become the Northern Kangaroos, playing in the Northern Territory and North Queensland?

TV rights discussed towards the end of this podcast with V’Landys needing one of the big streamers to bid against DAZN, to boost the cash component. Amazon and Stan mentioned. Channel 7 also not interested in weekly NRL, apparently due to AFL ...

we have no recent data on this, i think it has been years since anything of this kind has been released in detail.

also Australia is a small market on world scale >>>
there is only so much an advertising slot of 30 seconds can reach and they are willing to pay.
