Decent fair post there fred me boy!

Jolly well done.

We can only wait and see if the afl has made a decent decision. But given the current trajectory and the poor decisions I’ve outlined earlier, I don’t think this website will see a gws side that gets off the bottom two sides in the afl in terms of home crowds and members. I think if beaussie could pass this website down through perhaps 15 generations of his kin, then, perhaps, there’ll be an outside chance that gws will begin holding its own as an afl club.

Many more $$$ to come!

Perhaps they could have a name change. Gws leeches has a nice relevant ring to it dont ya think?

At least there were people at the game, 65k, and nearly 1mil watching on TV

The NRL had 12k at their brand new stadium to watch a 28-0 drubbing, and barely 700k watching on TV

Has your lot one any PTV game a PTV game this Year?

have we one any? What does that mean?

Oh, have we 'won' any? Yes, we've had higher ratings on PTV for some games, but clearly the NRL are outrating the AFL on fox on average. It's interesting the AFL can lose the PTV ratings easily yet rate over 250k more nation-wide. AFL fans have left foxtel in droves it seems, including me. Kayo is just far better value.

This raises another factor for cumulative ratings comparisons. If the NRL states have far higher subscription rates yet rate lower nationally when all ratings are included a comparison of 200 games on fox is basically meaningless and only really reflects differences in subscription rates.

Surely your not trying to make out this isn't happening in the NRL? Our Streaming numbers are higher. Stop making excuses for your pathetic game.Far higher interest levels? But, But But.

The AFL are creaming the nrl on FTA yet the nrl are leading foxtel. Thats a clear sign subscriptions are far higher in nrl states. Therefore all 200 games on fox cannot reasonably be compared when subscription rates makes the difference

They paid what the AFL wanted in the hope the subscriptions would rise once they had access to every game live. However, with perth, adelaide, sydney and Brisbane all seeing their clubs on fta for free the carrot for afl fans to take out foxtel isnt huge. Now that kayo provides the same product for 1/3rd the cost its even less.

But the evidence is there. The afl has dominated this years total ratings, scoring the highest rating game every round despite often rating far lower on fox for the same game. The subscription rates must therefore be vastly different. Last night the total afl ratings only had 20% from fox while the nrl had around 30%. Add that trend to every ptv game for the year and the nrl have about 120 games where they have 50% greater availability to their audience. Another reason why you cant simply add all the ratings up for an equitable comparison.

Yes the NRL appears to be king of foxtel on current figures. But as far as the king of TV the AFL own that with far stronger fta ratings

Fox may well have paid overs in an attempt to lure afl subs, just like a free agent is lured by clubs offering more money than their value to secure a big signing. But from what ive heard the AFLs fta ratings are up 17% on last year which more than accounts for the drop in fox. Come next time fox may offer less but ch7 probably more given all networks will want a piece of the afls dominant figures

Yes and Fox is losing out big time to streaming. WatchAFL is so much cheaper and convenient.

Yes, Fox has made very clear they are getting rid of all non essential sports. But Not the sports that make them money. So bye bye AFL

And how exactly is AFL cheaper? Fox are in the position they are in because they overspent on AFL.

And hows that working out? It seems to me there going backwards.


You need to stop listening to those voices in your head.Your FTA ratings maybe up on this time last year but not 17% Gill. The only reason there up is because you had more FTA matches, You haven't had to deal with a royal wedding or a Commonwealth Games. In reality your ratings are as bad as ever , probably worse.

C7 paid big for the cricket . They wont have money to waste on a dieing sport.
