Aren't we supposed to be comparing ratings for the elite levels of the games?The_Wookie wrote: Thu Jul 20, 2017 2:48 pmthere'll be at least two broadcast games for the AFL during the bye round - the legends game and the AFLW Origin game
You have already added millions of ratings for preseason games and women's rubbish and now you want more rubbish. If you're gonna play that game you had better start adding ratings for all Holden Cup, Qld cup, Super League, World Club Challenge, Intrust Super cup and anything other RL games that are broadcast in Australia. That might go somewhere to bridging the 49 game advantage you fumblers already have.
And yes add your fumbling state games that are broadcast and anything else just to make more work for Wookie.
This is becoming farcial.
The RL folk here have always argued around RL being most watched - focusing on the code on TV not the NRL - therefore including Origin and internationals and AllStar games.
AFLW is Origin for Women - happy for that to be included.
I do see Terry's point re: the Legends game - but also if we are just talking about code and not competition it is an aussie rules game being shown on TV.
I think putting state leagues in is a good idea too - I know the SANFL and VFL rate okay in their states. Not sure re: WAFL or TAFL? Then you have the NEAFL shown on SBS I think (indigenous channel). The thing is you have to draw the lines - either compare competitions or compare codes. You can't pick and choose which game is okay and which is not if your argument is most watched code on TV just to suite your agenda.
