The facts are there, even when you had live alf.vfl last year on FNF, RL still won.

Come on, what excuse are you going to use now?

again, many factors. Live games in VIC were not necessarily live in SA, and almost certainly in WA. The NRL can show a game that is relevant to both its primary states. The AFL cannot because it has teams in 5 cities. The AFL is still going after 10pm, meaning a drop off in audience if the game isnt close. The NRL is finished before 9.30pm.

Really, just check the AFL GF if you want a decent idea of TV following. The conditions are about as close and comparable as you can get.

Blah blah blah blah blah, I knew you could find another.

I bet if you try real hard you can post 1 more excuse?

But but but but but but but but?

Why else does you 9.30 game rate so badly? Do Sydney/Brisbane people turn in to pumpkins at 9.30pm?

you know TV audiences are averaged out don't you ... in 15min increments i believe
I'd say the 3rd hour of most FN flogball games wouldn't rate that much better then the 1st hour of the 2nd NRL FNF game

I'd say its pretty poor too ...

Yeah funny that! When the AFL is on at 8.30pm it doesnt start the thrid quarter until nearly 10pm. Do you think that effects the ratings especially when they're averaged? Of course it does! Especially for people playing sport or working early the next day. This is one of the main reasons the 7.30pm games rate better.

yep .... so why then when our finals go head to head
live

do we bust one out all ova yuz .... ?

why would that be ?

You asked for reasons. I didnt say you'd like them.

Tell me. Why does the AFL GF win almost every GF comparison if the NRL is more popular on TV?

For similar reasons. Your heartland is essentially in 2 states and in the same time zone. Ours is in 3 states across 3 time zones. My understanding is that WA do not get live AFL finals. They are our second biggest market. We also have bigger following in Sydney and Brisbane than NRL has outside NSW/QLD. The AFL cannot capture the entire market in one final. The NRL almost can.

it doesn't as I pointed out

Bahahaha, you won last year because we had a team from another country involved along with a team every body hates.

Btw, what about those SOO ratings that flogged the little vfl?

There are massive numbers of kiwis in australia. We won most of the years before that too.

How about 2009 and a few other years where the vfl were beat and a few weeks later mysteriously found another 50k viewers to win?

Edwahu or whoever actually showed on LU that the initial figures are always estimates and are then superseded by official ones later. These are Independant of the codes.

Try again.
