just 609K Sydneysiders could be bothered watching the Swines fumble bumble & miss their way to a win in the singletball GF
easily the lowest ever in their 4 GF appearances since moving to Sydney & down a staggering 400K on 2005
another sign of this sports huge decline in our nations largest City
meanwhile a massive 803K Melbournians..... tuned into the NRL decider yesterday
the 2nd highest of the storms 5 GF apperances ....
the NRL .. its just compulsory veiwing for everyone it seems
the Mighty Melbourne Storm .. handing the Swines their stones in a champange glass .... again

3hr afternoon telecast v 2hr prime time telecast.
Theres your diffeerence plus more.

You only have to look at the full years ratings to see the difference in support for both teams in their home states.
Having said that, well done to Melbourne for supporting our champion RL team =D> =D> =
But Dave, another drop in NRL GF ratings in Sydney, the 4th in a row.

In fact there was only 400k difference in the NRL v AFL ratings in Sydney, and the NRL was in prime time!

3hrs V 2..... how that turn out in the respective pay packets each code got in their TV deals marcus
prime time V not

.... please this garbage argument has been shot down so many times
are people mowing their lawn or doing undies shopping instead of watching your GF ... K?
FMD
the drop in Sydney's ratings was because .. unlike swooning Melbournians who don't mind the Swines ... they're benign ... un controversial .. a bit boring really
so its not against their principals to watch them as they have no state pride ... they easily accept the swines & wouldn't of minded them winning
most Sydneysiders despise the Storm .. hate them .... will not watch them , vomit at the thought in fact
they are considered cheating scum still & they are not anyones 2nd team in RL circles , ... nah ... nothing else is going on with Sydney's GF ratings other then this
the 3 SOO's & yesterday have us well over 4 Million for the 4.... game couldn't be more popular
Could not agree more with your reasoning there Dave. I in fact hate both the storm and the dogs, due to them both being cheating scum. The dogs have been running shephard plays all year to get where they got. Along with that their cheating culture, since the 80's when they believed their only chance of beating the eels was to take out Ray Price...which they couldnt do

, appears to still be there from what i heard from a mate who watched the game on sunday...apparently they tried to take out slater.
So yeah i barely saw the game, played golf and saw a bit of it at the 19th hole. I personally wanted both teams to lose. Any other matchup and i wouldve been glued to the tele...but this one, i despised...both teams have cheated parra in the past, both teams are built on scum. Wait and watch the ratings catapult next year when two teams worthy of a title play off for the prize.
AFL fans will shreek I'm unloyal to the code. Nup its a principle thing, something which seems a miss with the majority of AFL supporters on this website.
