The NRL show the Broncos 7 times in the first 20 weeks, so clearly they target Friday as their main game. Why wouldnt they? You think they want their best rating game to have less viewers?
The AFL target Friday, just like the NRL, but to suggest it's best game every week is asburd. This Friday we have two middle of the pack Melbourne clubs playing. Rnd 4 we had bulldogs v Nth, both who are struggling this year. Sydney are in plenty of Friday nights and they had their worst start to a season in their history.
As for you overlapping theory, full credit to you for spinning our longer game as a winner for ratings! Well done on that doozy!
The Broncos and Melbourne are the only Metro clubs outside Sydney. Brisbane are shown just as often on Thursday and often on a Saturday.
The AFL have played the Western Bulldogs 7 times in the first 17 weeks. The Swans 5 times, and will appear in the next 2 Friday night matches?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Meanwhile Lions - freemantle - Suns will make 0, zero , nil, zip Friday night appearances.
The bulldogs are one of our smallest clubs.
The AFL attempt to get interesting matches on Friday night, they make no secret of this, and the NRL do the same by showing the Broncos and other larger NRL clubs. However, this can come seriously unstuck if these clubs perform poorly. This has been the case in the AFL where these clubs have been regulars: North Melbourne are in the bottom 2, StKilda were expected to improve but are middle of the pack, Essendon the same, Melbourne the same, Swans were horrible for the first 7 rounds, and hawthorn were bottom 4 for the first half of the year.
As for the lions etc, the NRL may show their bottom clubs once for the year on Friday night. Dont tell me theres a big difference because there isnt. Both codes show their better teams so the comparison is fair, and you're losing 15 v 4. I dare say if you were winning you wouldnt have a single complaint
