You will do better than your Rd 3 Friday night match. While you match last week wasbt much better.

[pussycat]

Try 1 usually 2 extra Fox games - 6 occasionaly 7 .Capable of being seen by just 30% of the audience. Only about 10% of that 30% would watch more than 6 games and only about 5% would watch more.

Put it another way, You've got wall to wall coverage of your matches from 1.30 till ten at night on Saturday . While Sunday 1.30-6.30. More AFL on TV but less Rating!!!!

But But But But But

thats the point, our games go for longer. If I watch from 1.30pm to 10.30pm today I am counted as watching only 3 games. RL fans could watch 1 less hour yet be counted as watching 1 more game

ratings figures alone just dont tell the entire story

X man your making up new excuses and changing the old ones as you go along. Firstly you need to make it clear your only talking about 30% of the audience because all AFL fans can watch all 90 FTA games.


Rating figures are what this argument Is all about. Just because the NRL is handing your balls to you on a platter, stop trying to move the goal posts

There are only 30% of NRL fans that can watch any football today . and there maximum is 300minutes.

See what happens when you don't schedule your best games on Friday nights fumblers.

Rubbish ratings.

Tigers and Rabbits both out of the 8 and still manages to beat the fumbler game with the current champions on show.

But every time the NRL schedule teams low on the table that don't rate fumblers go into meltdown and say NRL is dead...

LOL

youve lost almost every FN so excuses are hilarious. Our best games have consistently beaten your best games,

As for winning last night I wouldnt count on it. The AFL are around 150k ahead after metros and fox so it will be close.

The eels dont have banned players making them uncompetitive. Yes, most of Melbourne are sick of Hawthorn yet the game still rated near 1m nationwide for a smashing

There are only 30% of NRL fans that can watch any football today . and there maximum is 300minutes.

All AFL fans can watch 90 games, and 30% can then watch another 4 halves, or 2 games, of games on STV. Ive already gone through the figures a few pages ago which shows the scheduling disadvantages the AFL when the same sized audience is compared.

Yes, you make the argument about ratings only, ignoring crowds, memberships, sponsorships, revenue etc. But ratings doesnt account for length of time watching the game. As an example is an AFL fan with STV watches 12 hours of AFL over the weekend they are counted as watching 4 games. An NRL fan would be counted as watching 6 games. In reality though they both watched the same amount of sport

Thats the point Ive raised for ages, they watch SOO because its an event. They certainly dont seem to think much of the NRL though

The normal thing for a viewer is to watch matches not a certain number of hours.

All AFL / NRL can watch FTA matches in isolation. The viewier is able to watch 90 if your an AFL fan or 77 if your an NRL Fan.

A NRL viewer can watch 8 PTV matches , a AFL fan 6, at times 7. Were talking about just 30% of viewers. I don't see this as much of a point, matter of fact I don't see it as a point at all given that 3 or 4 PTV matches equal the ratings of 1 FTA match. An AFL Fan has a choice in what matches he watches. If his match is a blow out he has the option of watching another match and he can watch whatever part of 9 matches he wants. Realistically how many of that 30% are going to watch more than 6 or even 7 games?

Yes , I make the argument about ratings because this is a ratings thread!

Read the thread title FFS!

So you concede the NRL fan can watch 8 games and the AFL fan 6, and usually 7. Good

It's not only about how many people can watch more than 6 games. It's about how much time people commit to watching sport over the weekend. Most, like me, probably watch FN, maybe some on Saturday arvo or night, and some on Sunday. I dont schedule my weekend around games I want to see, other than maybe my own club. I usually have social or sporting plans and watch football around that. In the time I have free to watch AFL I would watch maybe 4 AFL games over 12 hours. Any more than that and Im probably ignoring my family, friends or own sporting/social life. You could watch 6 games over that same amount of time. Yet the reality is we have watched exactly the same amount of time and provided the same value to the broadcasters. As I've said, the raw ratings figures are misleading.

Totally ignoring the fact that Tv's and Foxtell can stay on all day while your out with family and friends.

That dense excuse don't fly around here mate...

what are you on about? You think ratings are counted when people aren't home?

[Fred]

I believe you have to press a button every so often on rating boxes remotes to show you are watching

[leeroy*NRL*]

Yeh it is funny when more Victorians watch SOO
than NSW watch the swans

Thats the point Ive raised for ages, they watch SOO because its an event. They certainly dont seem to think much of the NRL though

You state they watch SOO because its an event..

But beat number of viewers with sydney watching the swans...
Are the swans a no event..

Dude.. that just makes the swans figures look even more pathetic..

The derby with 2 sydney teams
Put as the biggest game in sydney..
Just rated 55k on FTA

I will take the 500k figure for SOO lol
