Re: 2nd year AFLW: Will the hype continue?

Figures look accurate to me, maybe a bit low, my guess 5800.
Standing room estimates always lower than actual figures.

Re: 2nd year AFLW: Will the hype continue?

NRL are the experts in crowd fudging, years of experience.
With healthy crowd numbers the AFL has no need to post phoney figures, they have never done it so would not know how to.

Re: Matilda's to do something the AFLW can't

Soccer is for European and South American country's that are too lazy to invent their own code of football.

Re: 2nd year AFLW: Will the hype continue?

The standard of play has improved slightly in AFLW this year. The TV ratings are down a bit from the massive verified figures of last season. Interest, hype and TV figures are down to a level that reflects more reasonable realistic expectations Woman's RL will never generate much interest or hype du...

Re: Can Jarryd Hayne be the newest ambassador for the AFL?

Gil maclachlan welcomed back an employee who was involved in a consenting sexual scandal involving a younger staff member.
This scandalous act was wrong but there is no comparison to a criminal act of sexual abuse. These allegations involving hayne are criminal.

Re: Titans V Thuns

A strong competitive Suns team will always blitz the coke titans in crowd figures. The Suns need to stop other clubs from poaching their potential future stars. Pull your finger out AFL and show some leadership, ensure that new clubs can keep hold of required players for as long as needed. I'm a Sun...

Re: Womens R.L to rival AFL

The rules of AFLW may need to be modified as the season progresses in order to appease the armchair viewer. Woman's football needs to rate well to ensure future support and growth, it cannot afford viewing numbers to taper off so to fine tune and adjust a few small points is acceptable. Woman's RL i...

Re: The AFL Leaders in treating women...

The Nrl fans are losing again! on this topic. The catholic church analogy is a foul low blow, a misguided desperate attempt that only the loser of an argument would put forward. I too can comb through countless old newspaper articles and post links as evidence to support the fact that the NRL are th...

Re: Womens R.L to rival AFL

Massive increase in TV viewers predicted next year for AFLW as standard improves, unfortunatly there has to be a loser.
What sport could literally trail in the dust ? lol.
You know what my answer would be.

Re: Womens R.L to rival AFL

Yes but admit that some AFLW games are worth a look too and the standard can only improve.

Re: Womens R.L to rival AFL

Woman RL players lack speed, skill, flair and agility when compared to AFLW players who have years of athletic experience behind them. Some of the better RL woman players will be enticed over to Rugby Union if they want the international representation experience. I have stated the following before....

Re: AFLW sparks NSW interest

If you bothered to read the business insider article via your posted link, you would have seen the massive afl participant numbers, 635627 as per asc survey. Soccer number 1, golf number 2, so no need to accuse others of lying, the thread is about the growth of aflw. Rubbery figures, false claims an...

Re: International rules riding on the cotails of the RLWC

RLWC is not a true international world cup, most teams are non competitive, most teams look like the have never played the game before. It has been nothing but an exhibition in what I would brand RL fumbleball The kangaroos will smash through the amateur novice greenhorns to reach the final but may ...

Re: International rules a bit of a joke and a laugh

I agree RLWC is quite a joke, most of the teams are not competitive and appear to have never played the game before, enthralling television viewing blowout after blowout, its not comedy but the joke is on the viewers.

Re: Don Burke, Channel Nine and ... The afl

Abuse, sexual harassment, despicable mysoginistic acts and domestic violence is many times more prevelant in the NRL. The players are never punished enough by the clubs or administration in case the NRL brand is further tarnished. The fans need to stop making excuses for these hooligans, these are r...
