Fight Club - Football TV Ratings (AFL vs NRL)

[Terry]

I wonder what pussycat's excuses for last night will be. Obviously we didn't play the suns or the lions, so it wasn't fair.

And all those NRL supporters who switched over to watch the last 15 minutes of the AFL bumped us up a couple of hundred thousand.

I refuse to compare Friday night games between codes. They are played under completely different conditions, times and geographic locations. They simply cannot be compared.

I will only compare games where RL outrates fumbleball. That is the only fair & equitable way to do it. To say anything else is outrageous manipulation by witless sycophants. I might even compare only FTA or Fox or even regional ratings as I see fit in my infinite comparison wisdom.

In this fair and reasonable system RL will win on each and every comparison!!!!!! Woohoo and woop de doo!!!!!!!!! How good is that???????? Wow!!! I wish I had of thought of this earlier. Dead set genius I am!!!!!! Yeeeee Haaaaa!!!!!!!!!

It's the war that counts Terry.
And we all know how that turns out.
Tiny skirmishes and a few battles don't mean shit if you lose the war.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol sports crap on .
Another in the insular world .

It's AFL v RL in here
You lot don't like losing so you try to narrow things down
Bad luck ......

A few little battles lost doesn't phase me at all.
It's the war that we win that provides the greatest satisfaction.
It's the war that matters crap.

You've been misinformed or jut refuse to accept reality .
The war is won by RL year after year .
Looks like you've been lost in lols jungle for awhile

[AFLcrap1]

& we do it with less games ..less teams
& one teams home ratings not counted .

Chin up son .

another NRL fan who simply cannot acknowledge the AFL wins almost every 1 match v 1 match comparison. He doesnt even try to explain it. 1 v 2 outrated easily by 1 v 8 yet not even attempting to explain why.

No no no no no Pal!!!!! That's not how you compare things you silly duffer. I will only compare comparisons where RL wins. Cpmprehende'????????

Chin up son .

you have far far more available games on TV to your full audience, so dont even try that BS.

Look at last night. NRL shown on 9's main channel to 13mil people in our 3 largest cities, plus the majority of the nations regional population. AFL shown on 7's main channel to only 6mil people in our 2nd and 5th biggest cities. The rest of the metro audeince watching on 7 mate.

Yet you got flogged despite having a better matchup.

Ouch

do what you want. I compare games under similar conditions like last night. Same time of day, same competing sports on TV etc etc.

But they're not the same conditions pal. Different times, different locations, different teams. I simply refuse to compare any game where RL doesn't win. You know it's right.

[NlolRL]

They're the most comparable conditions we get Terry. Just because you rarely win them doesnt mean they're not meaningful

[AFLcrap1]

We win the fight
You win a few rounds
We win the fight .

You celebrate those rounds ..it's all you have

[pussycat]

It's your fantasy - you do whatever it is that you like. However, in the real world they all count, Some rate lower than you had hoped and some higher. But they all count. And at the end of the day rugby league matches accumulate more ratings than any other and rugby league provide the most viewed programs/sporting events in the country'.

a few rounds......like your best home and away games vs ours? Or your finals vs ours?

That isnt a few rounds, that's THE fight

real world......what real world. Other than Roy Masters, who compares cumulative ratings? That isnt the real world at all. The real world is Network 7 easily won the ratings last night, as they do for most times when the AFL is on.

No they're not. Very, very different. We have a game on right before the Friday night 8pm game. We have a massive supporter base in NZ that isn't counted.The games start at different times on different channels and go into different markets.

They simply can't be compared......unless RL wins ......and then I will compare the hell out of it!!!!!!!!

That's the way it works around here. I will be repeating this endlessly ……..because I'm right!!!!!!! Yayyyyyyy me!!!!!!!

You're so wrong.
We have much, much more.
The annual battle means diddly squat if you then lose the war.
The broadcast deal is the ratings war.
Converting those viewers into sheets.
Until the next cycle the AFL are 50mil per season ahead in the war.
