My god, how massive were the GF TV ratings. Just goes to show how important a successful Sydney is to the AFL. The figures below are expected to be even bigger as they only include the 5 capital cities recorded by OzTam.
The regional figures should see unheard of figures for the nationwide audience, particularly the figures from NSW.
