So an easy victory for the first comparison game so the AFL is 1-0 up.

No doubt all the excuses will now come pouring out of the tosser fans:

"but but It was your opening game".....well it beat the NRL's opening game as well, despite the NRL having no AFL opposition in the first 3 rounds

"but but you only play your best teams on Friday".......except the NRL's game was the GF replay, so last year's 1st v 2nd. While the AFL's game was last year's 1st v 16th, an expected blowout

In fact to dispel this lame excuse I'm going to produce a 'ladder factor' for each game which averages the ladder positions of each game's participants. Last night the NRL's ladder factor was 1.5 ((1+2)/2)because the game was between last year's 1st v 2nd. While the AFL's ladder factor was 8.5 ((1+16)/2). I'll average this over the year so we can see which comp, on average, had games with the better teams. For the first 11 rounds it will be for last year's ladder since this year is only starting, and for the remaining rounds it will be for this year's ladder

He's falling back on the same old argument
One narrow comparison because that's all his sport has ( lol AFLW is irelevent when it comes to ratings)

We are multi layered
We aren't a one trick pony.
& because that's all Aflol is ..then that's all he looks at .

There's still a couple of gold fish bowl dwellers left on this site I see. For the sensible posters here is the objective analysis: the AFL rated just over 1.1M, the NRL rated just under 1.1M. The numbers were close. I actually expected the fumbling 'blockbuster' to rate more.

RL is once again rating very well and will win the ratings battle for the year.

Now cue the fumbling revisionists diving straight into the bowl for a few more laps lolololololololol.

Another easy victory to the AFL making it 2-0 after 2 games.

Ladder factor for the afl was 4 ((1+7)/2), and their ongoing factor is 6.25 ((8.5+4)/2)
Ladder factor for the NRL was 8.5 ((3+14)/2), and their ongoing factor is 5 ((8.5+1.5)/2)

LOL I think you going off a bit early. According to those figures you presented there is just 11k the difference. About the number the NRL will/would get for its Gem regionals.
