Another fantastic game on PTV tonight.

[Xman]

Fri TV #NRL #NRLRaidersManly Nine 373k (Syd 238k Bri 135k) Gem 25k (Mel 12k Ade 7k Per 6k)

Fri STV #NRL #FoxSports #NRLRaidersManly 200k

less than 600k (metro and Fox) before regionals. But but but SOO

Regionals were 333k for the main channel, we will pick up another 10 on Gem, another 20k on Sky= 960k.

You wont do much better than that and your showing your top of the table team and were showing Canberra. A couple days after Origin got 4m Wow.

And Sundays doesn't get any better for you. 3 AFL matches out rated by 2 NRL Matches what's new.

When it rains it really pours

LOL we had Nth, a poorly supported Melbourne team, vs Richmond, a team having another shocking year. The game was played in Tasmania and was over at 1/4 time

Face it, you've lost just about every single FN comparison. You again got smashed in the fox comparison too

Not banning five teams we have performed a little bit better than you make out.

Opening game about 1.3m AFL 1104 You've won them all

R3 over 1million AFL 930k

R4 about 1170 AFL 1025

R8 Finished about the same

Rep round we wiped the floor with you. And. Origin You wont even get close.

Weve had 10 FNs and won 8. Weve paased 1,3m 4 times to your none

[Xman]

And by this method of yours, hey bingo, the AFL comes out in front. hahahahaha. Fair dinkum mate give it away. If you were working in a sales department you'd be sacked for excuses like these.

We should do what the NRL and Nine did for friday night NRL matches by combining match figures for games shown live at the same time so we can inflate our friday night ratings...and then bitch when people point it out on a per match figure.

I don't know what Nine used to do I'm only going off the figures you give Wookie. And I only point out that this bloke Xman turns them inside out and upside down to mark up the AFL.

and you go to enormous lengths to ignore every point.

Fact is the ONLY AFL game shown nationally on FTA TV per round smashed all the NRLs home and away FTA games, and often by a large margin.

The game averages are what you keep referring back to, yet anyone who knows how the AFLs games are scheduled realises 8 of the AFLs 9 FTA games per round arent even shown nationally. So averaging these games is plain pointless

Geez pal, You are the most one sided AFL man I have ever heard or seen anywhere. No one else anywhere could run your arguments and keep backing up when you are so obviously and factually false in your statements. Good luck mate.

Show me where im factually wrong

Because you claim that the AFL is in front of the the NRL in TV ratings for 2016 when factually they are not. Factually the NRL is 9 or 10 million ahead in total and way ahead in average. Consider yourself shown. I now expect you will come back with a back flip, a U-turn, a divide by 4 or 6 or whatever your calculations will equal that show an AFL advantage. Unfortunately for you the facts speak for themselves.

[Xman]

Wrong

Ive said that total and average ratings arent an accurate comparison of popularity because the NRL have many more watchable games per round and per year. Is that right or wrong?

Ive said the AFL dominate comparable games like Friday night, which is a better comparison of popularity. Is that right or wrong?

Are you serious!!! Total and average ratings aren't an accurate comparison?? What strange planet do you live on???? What metrics do you use then, the vibe??

I do agree that the NRL have many more watchable games though. The AFL has been terrible this year so many more people are watching the NRL as judged by the 25% increase in ratings.

AFL players really need to learn how to control a football, the game is a mess to watch, it takes 3 or 4 or 5 attempts to grab the damn thing before they eventually do. It doesn't really resemble a professional sport. Just a thought.

[Xman]

OK, that was consistent with your other deflection posts.

How about this: The AFL get, on avaerge, more ratings per round, which is shown by the Wookie's tables. That is more people each weekend tune in to watch AFL, and for far more hours over the weekend. Is that true or false?

Ok lets for forget averages, lets take out the Friday code vs code.

You say AFL show different games into each city etc
some games also overlap.

each AFL state gets a minimum of 4 FTA games aired each week into each state.
your AFL afternoon game into Melbourne may be delayed I don't really know
but this is still getting well over 200k viewers

that is 4 FTA games into each state also showing there home teams
this also maxes the figure.

yes there is overlapping etc etc ( I have taken that into account)

But the NRL only has 3 FTA games per week
and 5 exclusive FOX games.
with 1 less game.

but is still managing to beat the AFL.

you can say all you want about games airing into one state.
but they can simply watch it on FOX

this is what NRL viewers have to do for the 5 matches only available to 30%

[pussycat]

:_<> Are you delusional or what? People on this site are not the NRL. Every ratings report lists the Saturday arvo/night game, Sunday game. You may not list them that way , hardly means everyone associated with the AFL doesn't.

Media Spy (in this case)
SEVEN'S AFL: SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOOTBALL Seven
495,000 ( 0 , 219,000 , 0, 154,000 , 121,000 )

In the real word that's:
Collingwood v port Adelaide (shown in Melb. and Adelaide) + Bulldogs v West Coast (shown in Perth) + Crows v St Kilda) (shown in Adelaide) = 495k...But youse don't do it, right? :_<>

[pussycat]

It was no benefit to the NRL. The ratings didn't change. It was purely a Channel 9 thing. And by the way what do you mean, 'you should do it' ? your lot does it every Sunday and twice on Saturday.

Were talking about our total figure , not cherry picking over one match. And were certainly not the ones doing the bitching and moaning, making ridiculous but but excuses , we leave that to the runners up.

We do it? Horsehit. We've never combined ratings from different live matches. Your still full of it.

And no benefit to the NRL? No sir I dont see them trumpeting their top figures at all. Not at all. No way.

Are you delusional or what? People on this site are not the NRL. Every ratings report lists the Saturday arvo/night game, Sunday game. You may not list them that way , hardly means it doesn't happen.

Total for 3 AFL matches = 1131


XMan we await your re but but butle.

[pussycat]

Whose talking about how the NRL lists them? Im talking about xmans argument and your hypocritical bullshit.

Lets go back to every fuckming round for the last few seasons where you played the NRL out to be victors on the back of 2 conjoined live broadcasts.

No one here on this forum ever claimed the AFL ratings to be the same for any two matches, regardless of how mediaweek reported them/.

Argument? there's no Argument that how many of the games were listed LAST YEAR . It made no difference to our overall total.

do you mean the 3 FTA games that werent even shown nationally?

[Xman]

Ok lets for forget averages, lets take out the Friday code vs code.

but is still managing to beat the AFL.

you can say all you want about games airing into one state.
but they can simply watch it on FOX

this is what NRL viewers have to do for the 5 matches only available to 30%

OK let me try to break this down.

NRL:
Your entire audience can watch Thursday FTA live at 7.30pm
Your entire audience can watch Friday FTA at live 7.30pm
Your entire audience can watch Sunday FTA at live 4pm

30% of your audience can also watch Saturday STV at 3.30pm
30% of your audience can watch Saturday STV at 5.30pm
30% of your audience can watch Saturday STV at 7.30pm
30% of your audience can watch Sunday STV at 6pm
30% of your audience can watch Monday STV at 7.30pm

Total is 3 live FTA games for 100% of your audience, and 5 STV for 30% of your audience


AFL:
Our entire audience can watch Friday FTA at 7.30pm
Our entire audience can watch Satuday FTA at 3pm, although Melbourne get the game on delay
Our entire audience can watch Satuday FTA at 7.30pm
Our entire audience can watch Sunday FTA at 3pm

However,
those who choose to watch the 4 FTA games can only watch half of Saturday STV at 1.30pm
those who choose to watch the 4 FTA games can only watch half of Saturday STV at 4.30pm
those who choose to watch the 4 FTA games cannot watch Saturday STV at 7.30pm
those who choose to watch the 4 FTA games can only watch half of Sunday STV at 1.30pm
those who choose to watch the 4 FTA games can only watch half of Sunday STV at 1.30pm

Total is 3 live FTA games and 1 part delay FTA for 100% of our audience, and 2 STV games (4 half games) for 30% of our audience

Comparison of ratings based on same audience but different schedules:
Assuming the AFL and NRL had identical national audiences with FTA average audiences of 700k, and STV average audiences of 250k, this would result in:
- 2.1m FTA and 1.25m STV for the NRL, and
- 2.8m FTA and 500k STV for the AFL. (However, this ignores the fact that the AFL's 4th game is on delay in Melbourne and on Saturday arvo which never rates closer to 500k)

So despite a comparison of identical national audiences the NRL end up with 3.35m viewers (FTA +STV) from 8 games at an average of 410k, while the AFL end up with 3.3m viewers from 9 games at an average of 370k. Then you need to figure in the 3 extra rounds the NRL have, plus SOO, and its easy to see why the scheduling alone results in a higher total and average ratings for the NRL.

Does this make sense?
