I think you’re being very very generous there nlolrl. With 1 league for the whole state, a dozen clubs abouts I’m thinking 2 percent is a massive overrating

I’m surprised how Aussie rules is so dominate here in port Douglas ... going to the game here on Saturday. Seems to be the game here ... probably as so many Victorians and south Australians but even the pubs are advertising the AFL for ANZAC day. Terry would be beside himself lol.

Yeah I agree it does have a good following,Fred wrote: Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:34 pmI’d say 70 /30 but hey. But aussie rules definitely has a strong following at all levels on the GC you’d have to agree.
from where i am from originally from (Sydney) it is leaps and bounds the difference.

That seems unlikely ... Aussie rules actually has a presence at grassroots whereas Rl is negliabld in Victoria . It would be a ratio of maybe 1000 to 1

I have no idea as don’t line there. But given the number of players, leagues etc it would have to be 1000 to 1 compared to rl in Victoria on most measures.

Really… hmm you lot love to point out tv ratings as a measure of popularity right??? Well let’s look at yesterday’s tv ratings for SydneyNRL&NFLweLaughATAFL2 wrote: Sun May 09, 2021 9:52 amAFL is light years behind Soccer is Sydney. That is pretty funny.
and compare the codes.
• AFL triumphs as Super Rugby GF airs on Nine
TV Ratings
Seven easily won Saturday night thanks to a smorgasbord board of AFL games with both Sydney teams, and the Gold Coast being broadcast in their respective markets.
The ABC has continued to struggle on Saturday nights since the AFL came to town and the public broadcaster moved The Durrells into the 7.30pm timeslot.
Super Rugby made it off of Nine’s multichannel and onto the primary channel for its Grand Final match up, but didn’t put much of a dent in the AFL.
ABC
The A-League had 44,000 viewers as the Newcastle Jets tied with Syndey FC.
https://www.mediaweek.com.au/weekend-tv ... ay-8-2021/
The Newcastle Jets vs Sydney FC in the soccer rated a pitiful 44,000 on the ABC and 5,000 on Fox Sports nationwide last night. How much of that audience do you think was from Sydney?
A-League Fox Sports/ABC
Newcastle Jets vs Sydney FC ABC 44,000 and Fox Sports 5,000
Western Sydney Wanderers vs Western United Fox Sports 12,000
A paltry 12,000 viewers for the Wanderers whilst 71,000 for the Giants on Fox Sports without including the FTA audience numbers on Channel 7.
And then last night, the AFL was broadcast live and prime time on Channel 7 and Fox Sports in Sydney and out rated the Super Rugby Grand Final on Channel 9 and the live A-League on the ABC to win the time slot.
SEVEN’S AFL: SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Channel 7 559,000 77,000 240,000 27,000 151,000 63,000
Fox Footy
Melbourne Demons vs Sydney Swans 167,000
Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Essendon 71,000
Yep…. pretty funny indeed aye.

Rugby game between two non local teams almost beat swans in Sydney.

I just Google and the rugby Union game was their grand final .... are you seriously comparing that to a home away AFL game ? And it still lost and the AFL game was also shown on fox and in a city where fox subscriptions are thought to be much higher than elsewhere .... you’re really comparing the two and thinking this is close?

No, because super rugby final is no where near level of AFL grand final. Competition doesn't have a large following & media coverage is such I didn't even know it was on.NlolRL wrote: Sun May 09, 2021 8:57 pmSo comparing a final to a final when neither game involved a local team isn't fair?Pippen1994 wrote: Sun May 09, 2021 8:54 pmDon't know but if you're equating super rugby final to that of AFL grand final you've probably lost argument.Fred wrote: Sun May 09, 2021 8:34 pmOut of interest what did last years AFL grand final rate in Sydney ?
