Sunday FTA ratings:

NRL: 510k Sea Eagles V sharks. 1 game.
AFL: 432k Lions/Power. Roos/Saints. 2 games.

Another massacre handed to the fumbling game on Sunday FTA. Note: it seems the AFL are increasingly doubling up broadcasts. They did it on Friday and again on Sunday. Are they trying to artificially inflate their numbers? Reeks of desperation.

NRL did it for years on Fridays in QLD and NSW and no one on this site or any other site gave a shit. Now the AFL does its "desperation" fucking hypocritical nonsense. The AFL has had double up on Sundays since - oh - around 2017, so i mean credit for being 10 years behind the curve. Its a consequence of games having broadcast commitments into non victorian markets for local teams.
