Talking Footy

Boo who , why did the AFL let them into there comp in the first place,

??????????????7 mate,why is this a problem???????????????????? The people of Perth know how to use a remote. They've been changing channels for years.

advantages and disadvantages of having a Perth team in a national competition .
i see alot more positive than negative though..

the NRL will have the same issues when a Perth team is admitted to the league.

A never ending list of excuses .

I sincerely hope that one day WA catches up to the rest of civilised society & remotes are sold with TV sets .

As for the Perth excuse
Lol

We could use the NZ excuse ...they play here at 7.30... then that is a 9.30 start on tv over there .
Which affects ratings .

Then again we don't need the Warriors ratings from NZ .....we thrash the AFL without them .


Also the AFL games from Perth are still counted in the AFL ratings .
So stop your fucking bitching .

Well Perth and Adelaide are the two heartland cities which get additional FTA games. Melbourne get 2 less games of AFL on FTA than the NRL in Sydney and Brisbane.

You bang on about the AFL's FTA advantage yet looking at Perth's FTA schedule they are well disadvantaged overall.
- They get 2/3rds of their games on 7mate which rates an average of only 70k for Thursday and Friday games.
- They only get 2 games after 6pm for the entire year where their local teams play
- 3 games for the local club are on significant delay.
- A number of their games for their local clubs start at a TV unfriendly 11am
- All Friday and Thursday games start during peak hour and run at the same time as the 6pm news

Yeah, on balance they are considerably disadvantaged on FTA. Combine that with Melbourne less games on FTA, with a few being on 7 mate and it's the NRL who seem to have the FTA advantage.

Oh dear .

Perth are our second biggest market and have 2 clubs. NZ ratings would be miles behind

Yes, we are obviously better off having Perth's two sides, but having them 2-3hours different from the east is bad for ratings. The NRL has a big advantage having all teams bar 1 in the same time zone

That additional FTA makes a hell of lot of difference . When either Freemantle or West Coast are shown the Perth ratings are 2 or 3 times higher, and that's on either 7mate or the main channel.

So Fuck your scheduling and all the other delusional crap you get on with .... them are the facts.

I've checked the ratings and that is blatantly untrue. Fremantle and the Eagles rate around 120-170 on FTA where as other games rate around 80.

Compare that to Brisbane who rate around 150 average and in the high 200's for Broncos. The difference is because prime time in Melbourne is 5.30pm in Perth, and 4.30pm in daylight savings. If Brisbane got FTA games at 5.30pm on gem they'd rate around 100k or less every time (excluding Broncos games). Add to that Fre and WC are only on in prime time a few times per year in Perth where as the Broncos are shown in prime time on FTA probably 50% of the time. Furthermore, imagine if the broncos were shown in Brisbane at 11am. The earliest NRL game is around 2-3pm.

That's the truth

NZ Ratings are on SKY SPORTS (pay tv)

New Zealand games going on past years 3-4 years ago rated pretty well over 100k every game.
and Australian club teams ratings in NZ for SKY SPORTS were around 30k mark
which for the time zone with Thursday Friday games kicking off at 10pm is pretty good.

NRL reported N.Z ratings had lifted by 20% this year
so it actually a large figure over the course of a season.

I come up with evidence, all you have is idiotic opinions.

Since you cant come up with a single reference to cumulative ratings anywhere else in the world of TV, how about finding a similar program which rates higher on a secondary channel.

Or is asking for evidence too much to ask of you dickheads?
