I am curious what color would a 4th or 5th place medal be if they were to start handing out 4th-5th place medals at the Olympic games?

Just the honour of competing. They try hard. =D>

@MediaweekAUS: Sat TV ratings #AFLGF national (metro+reg) Seven 3,631,000 (national FTA share 80% Perth share 91%)

900k regionals. Oh but Dave says theyre 200k! >


80% of Saturday afternoon viewers watched the AFL GF! Imagine that in prime time!

In the five capital city ratings, the AFL averaged 2.69 million compared to the NRL’s 2.09 million. Much of the difference was made up in the AFL’s expansion states of NSW and QLD where the GF averaged 405,000 viewers in Sydney and 375,000 in Brisbane.

This is in stark contrast to the NRL which only managed 221,000 in Melbourne, 33,000 in Adelaide and 75,000 in Perth.

3.31m with regionals

Here's the ratings for 2010, the last time the NRL and AFL had GFs that didnt involve the swans or storm. I wonder how next Sunday will pan out?

Hers the last 9 AFL GF ratings which show this years results were pretty decent in comparison to other GFs without Sydney involved.

So a few people said it was a poor game....

Who cares. For a non swans game it rated more than most recent GFs, and ALL recent NRL GFs non involving the storm

Hmmm, what does that tell you? Prime time, increased ratings. Thanks for confirming my point

Top sports broadcasts 2013 including all markets involved in each sport

1. SOO 3 4.232 million + NZ 112,270 = 4.344m
2. SOO 1 3.973 million + NZ 120,470 = 4.093m not including WA,Tas regionals
3. SOO 2 3.762 million+ NZ 110,270 = 3872m effected by election tussle between Ruddy and Gillard.

???. AFL GF 3,631,000
???. NRL GF ............

6. Socceroos
7. Yawnion.....

Now in 5 days we find out weather the AFL gets a Brown medal for 5th spot.....................

I'm fine with that. A comparison of similar conditions would be interesting, but we know that won't happen because the AFL value the tradition of grand final day over ratings. But 3.6m for a Saturday arvo is amazing. I mean 80% share of viewers says it all. Normal Saturday TV ratings would be less than 1m for all programs combined probably.

So Eels, Whats your prediction for the NRL? How many all up next week?

hey look here now eels

if we're going to add the NZ ratings to our big games its only fair we do the same for the VFL

so it was 3,631,000 in Australia &
631 ....... in NZ

:_<> :_<> :_<>

didn't help em much eh :_<> :_<> :_<>

the Holden Cup u20's GF on Sunday prior to the main game featuring the NZ warriors will rate higher then all 8 VFL finals.. & the VFL GF.. in NZ combined :_<> :_<>
is VFL the most irrelevant sport on the planet ?
