2016 - AFL - Crowds and TV Ratings

[leeroy*NRL*]

The AFL schedule 2 at the same time because they have multiple teams from different states
Which can air in to the state.
Therfore maxmising the figures for the home team.
If they show a non home team a figure goes from as high
150k to 170k to below the 90k mark very often


Its an advantage but a disadvantage
You cannot have both x man

Mate, you have what is called a theory or opinion as to why the AFL lags behind the NRL in aggregate and average TV ratings. It is not a fact, it is not a certainty. And like all theories until it is tested it is just that, a theory.

So I would suggest you lobby the AFL and broadcasters to change the game scheduling to test your theory. Until that happens the raw numbers, the facts remain the same.

so, again, you just ignore the points I raise.

Read over the points Ive made in my posts. Others on this forum seem capable of at least discussing them. Some even accept there is truth to them. Youre just a coward

its an advantage that maximises the audience in home states. However, it means none of these games are shown nationally so as individual games they rate less than isolated games. You understand this of course. Any chance you could explain it to dumbo Darren?

With the bye has that meant the game are not overlapping this and next week ? If so would be good to see the ratings.

I do see your point though as last week i would have watched two games in full but as they overlapped could only watch each game partially

When Adelaide/ Perth are not watching there home side match they dont get much more than 70k.. When they do get to watch there home team they get 40 or 50% more. Melbourne to a lesser extent also. So showing matches into there own state has far more upside then downside.

Only 30% of AFL can watch more than 4 matches. Only about 10% of the 30 % would watch 6. there would only be a very very very small number would watch more than that.

All Melbourne AFL viewers can watch 88 matches in a season.
All Adelaide AFL Viewers can watch 92 matches
All Perth AFL Viewers can watch 93 matches

While All Rugby league viewers (Sydney/Brisbane)can watch just 76.


SO YOUR POINT IS POINTLESS!

bull shit

Example. Last night we had a single game shown nationally. It rated Sat STV #AFL #FoxFooty #AFLDogsCats 249k, Sat TV #AFL Night Seven 376k (Mel 299k Ade 77k) 7mate 139k (Syd 28k Bri 20k Per 91k)

Total including regional is 935k.

This was a game involving Melbourne teams only. Our average Saturday night ratings this year for two concurrent games is around 1.1m. Compare this average of 550k per game to last nights 935k for one game!!!

This clearly shows that having games shown concurrently is a MASSIVE disadvantage when looking at averages compared to showing a game in isolation, even accounting for multiple teams into multiple cities

Fair dinkum Xman what is your problem? I'v e read over your points, discussed them, dissected them and dismissed them as nothing more than opinion and theory. How much more discussion do you want?? I've even told you the answer to your problem, lobby the AFL to change their scheduling system.

And for this you call me a coward!!!!!!! lolololol, how the hell does that make me a coward??????? Where did that come from??? I'm not cowering behind the lounge because the big bad Xman is coming to get me, lolololololol!!!!!!! Laughable stuff mate!!!

You're a desperate man. I could call you silly names that having nothing to do with this conversation but I choose not to lower myself to your level of cognitive function.

Now back to the facts: The NRL has higher aggregate and average TV ratings this year than the AFL. These facts cannot be argued. What can be argued is why the AFL is behind. Your opinion/theory is that it's because of the AFL's scheduling. You're entitled to that opinion, but it doesn't change the facts. Simple really.

[Xman]

dear oh dear, you dont discuss shit, you merely dismiss and deflect

My point about last nights ratings. How about you have a go at explaining why a single game rates nearly 950k while two games shown concurrently rate 550k each. Doesnt that show the averages mean nothing??

Go on, give it a go

No mate. That shows if your opinion/theory is right the AFL must change their scheduling system. Until they do, your theory won't be tested, and we won't know.

Answer me this Xman. On Wookies last posted figures both comps have played 108 games H & A. The NRL is in front in aggregate and average. Is this correct? And it's a one word answer mate. And no name calling please lolololololol.

It isnt a theory, it's proven every single Friday night, and it was proven last night. In fact your own code's change in Friday night scheduling from last year proved it. You had concurrent games last year on Friday night and they rated around 1-1.2m for 2 games, or an average of 550k. this year your single Friday night game averages around 1m. They prove exactly the same thing, showing games concurrently results in a split audience that lowers your average ratings

Hahahahahahaha, what about the question Xman? After 108 H & A games for both codes who is in front on aggregate and average TV ratings??? Please answer.

[Xman]

Yep, youre a coward, cant even address the original topic which your own code's figures confirm

At least I'll address your point, unlike you. Wookie's figures show the NRL are ahead on average and aggregate but fail to account for the NRL showing every game in isolation while the AFL have only about 1 in 9 shown in isolation. Taking these factors into account the AFL are well ahead per telecasted game

[Darren]

Hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Victory to the NRL!!!!!!! But hang on, so the NRL are in fact in front on the actual/real/absolute figures as you concede but then you say, yes you, no one else mind you, you say the AFL is well ahead per telecasted game???????

What the hell!!!!!! Madness thy name is Xman hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! How can both statements be true? Tip. They can't!!!!! Poor silly Xman.

The only thing isolated is you mate. Alone, sad, deflated and defeated. Put the arrows back in the quiver mate, you're firing blanks.

the NRL are ahead in absolute figures although theyve also had 3 more rounds so far this year and have 2 more 'watchable' games per round. When taking these factors into consideration the AFL are well ahead.

How about these facts:
- the AFL have had 4 home and away games with ratings over 1.3m. The NRL have had none, nor did they have any last year or probably any year. I'd be interested in how you can explain this away. They show the true indication of which code dominates TV ratings

[Darren]

Mate, mate, mate, the AFL are not well ahead. How the hell can you say that????? They're well behind, thats the numbers, thats the facts. And the number of rounds is irrelevant. I compared 108 games to 108 games for both codes as per Wookies numbers. At the end of the season the NRL is going to smash the AFL in ratings figures.

And this cherry picking of your 1.3 mill threshold is just a joke. Some Fridays the AFL get bigger ratings and some Fridays the NRL gets bigger ratings. At the end of the day the difference is negligible, they both rate very well. And of course you laughably disregard SOO and international RL.

You, my friend, are struggling. Why don't you go back to crowds, you might have a win there, it's the real strong point for the AFLer's.

At the end of the numbers game the NRL is in front in aggregate and average. Suck it up pal!!!!!
