Yeah, who "owns" Australia?

I'd say thats clearly Rugby League

our 4 Biggest games .... a whopping 16 Million veiwers in Australia ... alone
Vicky kicky ... & their 4 ... just 10 Million

put ointment on that burn marcus

The SOO is a tournament of its own. It rates well, but less than the AFL GF

Other than that the AFL dominated the NRl on payTv and FTA

Keep your cream Dave, you need it more than me.

SATURDAY'S AFL grand final television ratings were the highest since West Coast's win over Sydney in 2006.

The national audience of 4.05 million pushed the four-week finals series to a record of almost 18.1 million viewers.

The game was the highest-rating television program in Melbourne for the year and rated well in Sydney, where it had an average audience of 610,000.

AFL chief operating officer Gillon McLachlan described the Sydney figures as "a huge number" that equated to a prime-time rating. "Our ratings and attendance figures for the finals series have been spectacular, up 20 per cent in each category from last year," McLachlan said.

That follows a home-and-away increase in ratings of 12 per cent. "I think it's a tribute to our broadcasters for their quality of coverage, particularly in the first year of games being telecast live against the gate," McLachlan said.


The grand final drew 2.95 million metropolitan viewers nationally and a regional audience of 1.1 million.

It was the third most watched metropolitan television program for the year.

This year's figure bettered last year's grand final by 450,000, and was just behind the most watched best recent final _ 4.2 million in 2006 _ the Swans' previous grand final appearance.

In Melbourne, the match attracted 1.33 million and 1.4 million watched the post-game presentations. The coverage received a further 73,000 viewers on pay-TV for its 6.30pm replay.

The first week of the AFL finals series drew 5.949 million viewers across four games featuring clubs from four states, which was up almost one million on the corresponding four games in the first weekend of NRL finals, which involved clubs from three states.

The two AFL semi-finals attracted a national audience of 3.799 million, compared with the NRL's 2.92 million. In the second week of the AFL finals, Collingwood-West Coast drew 1.98 million viewers and Adelaide-Fremantle drew 1.8 million.

The national figure for the AFL's preliminary finals was 4.23 million, compared with the NRL's total of 3.3 million.

The Sydney-Collingwood preliminary final drew 2.23 million national viewers and the Hawthorn-Adelaide preliminary final attracted 2.06 million. The Swans' preliminary final win over the Magpies was the highest-rating match of the season at that stage, higher than every match of the 2011 season, except the grand final.

On the same weekend in the NRL, the Storm-Sea Eagles preliminary final pulled 1.78 million viewers, and 1.5 million watched the Bulldogs-Rabbitohs clash.

Prior to last night's NRL grand final, the first eight NRL finals drew a combined national audience of 11.21 million.
