they'll be bad times at some stage yes ... but to date they are a club that just oozes on field success & haven't had to deal with this yet.borgidiom wrote:I wonder how popular NRL will be in Melbourne when Melbourne has a team that was not built on cheating. If they get an average 11k (made that figure up not sure what the real number is) to a game to watch what is arguably the greatest spine (1,7,9) in history, how many people are going to turn up and watch them play during the bad times? Not very many is my guess.

Of interest is the fact that the AFL easily won its timeslots in every market it was broadcast in. The NRL was smashed in many of the markets it was broadcast in.. Anyone see the Adelaide or Perth figures for the NRL. Why does Channel 9 even bother?
its not night ... nor prime timeBeaussie wrote:5pm - 7pm is in prime time stupid. You lot got smahed in the tv ratings in every market outside of Sydney and Brisbane for your grand final. Oh and the ratings in Brisbane were also well down on last season.
The AFL on the other hand won every timeslot in every market of Australia.
I agree with you Beaussie, AFL should have done much better then they did. With the AFL GF was on Saturdays at 2pm, with nothing else on to compete for viewers, compared to NRL GF on Sunday at 5pm which was in competition with one of the most watch daily TV programs (the News) at 5pm and 6pm on most channel. You still only just managed to roll us in AustraliaBeaussie wrote:Comparing apples with oranges.

My god, how stupid are you. Prime time runs from 6pm onwards and the lead in from 5pm is considered very important to TV networks hence the battles we've seen with Deal or No Deal against Eddie's Who Wants to be a Millionaire etc, etc. You've clearly got no idea what you're talking about.

prime time is post 7pm , after the news services
Yeah, yeah.. Fact remains, the AFL won it's timeslot in every market it was broadcast in... The NRL did not achieve the same result. In fact, the NRL was smashed outside Sydney and Brisbane.Raiderdave wrote:& seriously what the hell would the AFL be up against at 2pm on a saturday to claim it beat anything .... ?
thats right
nothing
Elvis Presley movies .... & brady bunch repeats
no wonder it won every market
if it were on at 5pm ... it would not have beaten anything in NSW & QLD
not a thing.
Oh sorry I forgot again, only the facts that support AFL are allowed in Beaussie world. :_<> So as AFL is not played in NZ to a level that can be shown on tv those figures are out. As NRL regional figures consistantly kick AFL arse there out.Beaussie wrote:Only just eh? What planet are you on? You got smashed.Dogs wrote:You still only just managed to roll us in Australia
