Re: Soccer would be massive if Australian teams joined an English League..

Rugby League have around 100 players playing in English and French leagues from super league to Div 3 Yeah, not meaning you have no international presence. Just meant it obviously helps Australian domestic leagues if they can pay as much or more than leagues elsewhere in the world. If English SL go...

Re: Soccer would be massive if Australian teams joined an English League..

There seems little doubt that there would be much more interest in soccer here if it was feasible for Australia to have a team or two in the EPL. The AFL and NRL and Australia's domestic sporting industry all benefit from: 1. AF and RL having no leagues elsewhere in the world paying much higher sala...

Re: AFL’s TV rights deal makes NRL CEO Dave Smith’s Channel Nine agreement look like an ‘own goal’

Yep & not one of them is capable of answering the question I keep asking . They continually talk about Fox not paying much as they will have NO competition in bidding(that remains to be seen) ....but let's say there is no one...only fox . The theory is the NRL won't get too much as there is no ...

Re: Make the call: How much will the NRL and AFL will get from the next TV rights deal

True, lot of assumptions. :) I think there probably was more competitive tension for the AFL by doing them all at once. If one party wanted something, it would affect the others and possibly provide impetus to respond with a compromise or counteroffer, etc, NRL will need to get the competitive tensi...

Re: Make the call: How much will the NRL and AFL will get from the next TV rights deal

I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations, assuming Foxtel is able to negotiate away the dirty feed issue (making simulcasting worthwhile) and taking eelofwest's SOO figure of 150m over five years. The uninformed guess is for just FTA + Foxtel, before including remaining streaming, international ...

Re: Make the call: How much will the NRL and AFL will get from the next TV rights deal

It's hard to predict a price in a non-competitive situation. Without sufficient competitive pressures at play, theoretically the pay TV price could fall absolutely anywhere between the NRL's minimum acceptable and News Corp's maximum acceptable, assuming the latter is greater than the former. No dea...

Re: one city , one state , one country

It’s true that the AFL is still heavily weighted towards Victoria, but in terms of crowds it is doing well across the country. Even so, I find the topic of the OP an interesting one and worth discussing. Consider the following comparisons in relation to season 2013 so far (at time of posting there i...
