How does a docker fan watch their side play 50 times in 13 rounds? :[]

i seem to come to the assumption..

that the AFL do this type of scheduling for a reason.
it benefits them and the Networks.

taking in sunday for example>> if the AFL wanted no overlaps in games..
it was well very easily to do so..

instead of >>>>>>> it could of been>>>>>>
GAME 1 > 2:20pm >>>>> 1:00pm
GAME 2 > 3:20pm >>>>> 3:20pm
GAME 3 > 5:20pm >>>>> 5:50pm

but they AFL do not change this..
your example schedule is the same as current......
no its not>> i have changed the times>>
AFL does not go longer than 2hrs 30mins

Oh, you've changed the starting times for the first and last game. Got it. While this would improve ratings for each game the early and late games wouldnt be appealing for fans. Who would want to go to a 5.50pm game?

5:50pm to 5:20pm is not really much of difference..
and this is played in Perth which would begin at 3:50pm instead of 3:20pm

i think if the AFL could make extra ratings in a big way they would of done it already..

Sorry, that should read a Perth FTA viewer can watch 50 matches in the first 13 rounds. just as it should read a Qld viewer can watch just 44 matches in the first 14 rounds.

Remember, the FTA ratings would remain similar, it would be fox ratings that would mainly increase. However for foxtel, subscriptions are what they want, not ratings.

but QLD catch up because their season goes for longer and they have 4 FTA games per round in the last month.

But that's not the topic you raised earlier which was targeted games to home markets

yes FTA would remain the same>>
even if FOX would increase>> i think the AFL would jump at it..

but again>> we are back to square 1 >> the AFL remain glued to this type of scheduling

also FOX ratings for sports do matter>> they have advertisements and sponsors who back the content.

I suppose for the AFL it's a balance. Do they annoy fans with early and lat afternoon game times for a bit more TV revenue?

I agree with balance in a Schedule for sport.

though if the figures are to be that big of difference 30mins change up here and there.
is not really going to affect scheduling for fans especially with 2 Perth teams and 2 Adelaide teams
30mins could easily be manageable..

I would say.. the figures will be very minimal and the AFL are generally happy with everything

otherwise you would be hearing about it.

I think the AFL and the networks concede there is no easy way to fit 21 hours of AFL onto into 1.5 days. I dont think they give two hoots about cumulative ratings

For states outside Melbourne I agree. Melbourne and Sydney are basically the same. In fact if you love watching games involving clubs other than your own the NRL in all states is better than AFL in Melbourne.

I think the scheduling and length of the games negatively effects the AFLs cumulative ratings

If Overlap wasnt an issue how many games would people watch on a weekend ? I would say most people only watch 3 or 4 not 8 and not 9, And if some one did watch more than what the chance it was at a Pub/club or some other type of nightspot. Premises that Sydney has thousand more of . Remembering that only ratings from house holds are counted.

There are clearly a lot of people home in the evenings. When both AFL matches are on at the same timethose people are only counted watching a single game. If the games were shorter and shown one after another they could easily watch both and therefore be counted twice
