Aren't winning???????????????????? arn't winning what? FTA = 800k PTV = 211.5k.

And I would be to embarrassed to tell people that you finished 10m in front over the regular season, I certainly wouldn't be bragging about it. 22 extra matches on FTA, 80 extra PTV matches and you could only manage 10m ratings more - Wow, how humiliating that must be for the AFL..
You're pathetically desperate! Splitting FTA and foxtel to suite your argument is laughable because the AFL show 4 games a week on both at the same time which splits their audience. Add to that most foxtel games are shown against another game on fox, lowering the average.
As for your "80 extra games" garbage, the NRL show far far more games in isolation to their entire audience than the AFL, and far more in prime time to maximise ratings. Add to that they have a flexible schedule and STiLL they got hammered!
Totals are the only fair way to gauge the winner with this sort of arrangement. Unfortunately for you it wasn't the NRL, and you're mighty pissed

Of course you sepaqrate different thing! Pay TV goes to 30% of viewers and FTA goes to all viewers . They are too different things. You treat them separately, that shouldn't be that difficult a concept. And on PTV we rate better and on FTA we rate better - so learn to live with it. And the part about the NRL showing 3 matches a week isn't a difficult concept either,
80 matches is garbage, It is infact over 100 matches, The 80 figure is for PTV matches alone.
Totals = sheer weight of numberss
100 more
. Averages the NRL wins on PTV and on FTA
The NRL shows 1 FTA game a week in Prime Time the AFL 2 - so, wrong again
Flexible schedule ???? The first20 rounds are picked in advance - and all teams are selected (even the bottom sides are eligibe).
Your hilarious excuse making is reaching epic proportions and is a clear sign your delusion about being the premier TV sport is coming crashing down.
No, you don't seperate ratings of the same telecast of the same game, just like you guys have complained for years that the regionals were seperated from the FTA total. Well Weve counted them which icovers your entire audience. It's only fair we also count the entire AFL audience which includes foxtel.
The reality is the number of games is the important factor, and both codes have around 200 per year. And when you add up all the ratings for these games from all telecasts, the AFL is streets ahead.
And its burst your little bubble
