Well there must be far more expats in Brisbane than nrl fans in Melbourne. Ratings for the nrl are regularly in the single thousands this year Yes the ratings are dropping, as are crowds. Hardly a surprise given how poor the lions are and the fact its been over nearly a decade. Thier crowds are.drop...

Revenue from their memberships can be seen in their annual report. Essendon earns near 60m a year, more than any nrl club by some margin

So still not in prime time, plus on delay by 2 hours...no surprise it didnt rate

Plus foxtel....

Anyway, you honestly think the lions or suns would rate ok on current form? The non lions games are rating better in Brisbane

But but but Media spy and Tv tonight have made the same mistake

The game was played in Perth at 2.30pm. How is that a night game?

Lol, stone cold last, 12 players banned for the year, a team filled with temporary players who are filling in for 12 months. Yet they atill have over 50k members and average far more crowds than every nrl club

Nice one dickbrain

I disagree. The freo game was in the afternoon Melbourne time, not the evening. The evening game was dogs v cats only How than were there ratings for Perth In the Arvo game and in the night game? http://www.afl.com.au/broadcastguide Well media week must be calling a 2pm game a night game. Therefore...

Tasteless joke? A death threat is hardly a tasteless joke!

Death threath...

A game representing every fan is certainly not comparable to a game involving a struggling expansion club

Maybe read your own post to see why i labelled you a homophobe

Lol The funny thing is most AFL players are just gangly. Is a well known fact NRL players have more muscle mass the AFL players. Way more weight training is done in Rugby League than AFL too. its known hunt and folau had to drop several KGS to try and play AFL and they were still to slow :thumbleft...

you seem obsessed with international validation. Maybe its because its one of the only things RL has going for it when comparing to the AFL.

Insignificant international growth certainly doesnt seem to bother the NFL. They know theyre one of the worlds most popular sports without it

comparing SOO to home and away games, for two struggling teams especially, is pretty stupid
