That article does plenty of bragging about the AFL but know where in that article did I hear them mention that the AFL had to borrow $60m and still ran at a big loss and are expecting to for the next 4 or 5 years.
Australia is borrowing billions to get through COVID. Hardly a surprise the AFL need to offset the loss of their significant attendance income.

Furthermore, how the fuck is that relevant?
I'm not aware of any other sporting events in Australia that borrowed heavily last year though, I may be wrong there. I'm certainly not aware of any that will post heavy loses for the next 5 years. Then try to make out that there the no1 sport in the country. Even though fewer people watch there matches etc. etc…

:(/ :(/ :(/
“ Then try to make out that there the no1 sport in the country.”
It’s they’re not there.

“Even though fewer people watch there matches etc. etc…”
It’s their not there.
Don’t complain about anyone else’s spelling again, which you seem to take great delight in. Hypocrite.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.

As it stands at the moment RL has the 2 most watched programs on Australian TV this year. Making it not only the No.1 football code but also the No.1 broadcast phenomenon on TV thus far.

Great job!!!!!

What is Australia’s Premier Sporting Event?

https://sport.yougov.com/what-is-austra ... ing-event/

With 3 in 4 Australians having some level of interest in sport and facing an abundance of events to choose from, only one can claim the right to being the most popular sporting event in the country.

Over the last few months YouGov Sport went and asked (n=3,161) Australians aged 18+ what their favourite Australian sporting event was. In total 72% said they had one (14 million) while 28% did not (5.4 million).

It probably comes as no surprise to many, but the AFL was rated as the premier event on the Australian sporting calendar with 17% of the votes. Rounding out the top 5 included: The Australian Open (13%), NRL State of Origin Series (6%), NRL Grand Final (6%) and Boxing Day Test Cricket (4%).

WA oddly not included so Australian Rules would be even more popular nationwide.



Cheers to Wookie for sharing the breakdowns for each state via his twitter. AFL HQ and clubs would love seeing this. :D:
