The AFL don't broadcast for profit to any nation in the world its called aussie rules for a reason Xman, you know the Australian game that no other nation plays professionally.
So when the AFL have a team in NZ or another country sure you can add pay tv ratings for that country but until then suck it up princes. :D
And on that note cant wait to get a team in PNG in the NRL, that's over 7 million population in that country and the national game is rugby league. More ratings to rub in your face Xman :D

Nice try at moving the posts Xman, so you admit that it is more then fair for us to add NZ ratings due to us having a NZ team in the comp and broadcast all our games to NZ?
And soon to be PNG team in the next 10-15 years.

NZ ratings are irrelevant when comparing codes for the Australian markets.

Xman why do you think sports administrators harp on about ratings so much? Because it brings in the tv deals.
Nrl have a Tv right's deal with NZ for all NRL games, thus the ratings in NZ are relevant for NRL but not relevant for AFL.
End of story.

The ARL Commission is currently locked in negotiations with host broadcasters Channel Nine and other interested parties for a new 10-year TV rights deal tipped to bring a $1 billion revenue windfall to the game.

Prove theres a typo.

Even if it's 2 mil that's still an ordinary deal really.

speculation on the ABC online today is for 1 billion over 10 years. I wonder if thats an additonal billion on top of the curretn 500 million or not.
