We want everyone to watch as much AFL as possible but we make it absolutely impossible. Only two of the nine games had clear air from siren to siren to maximise ratings

OOH LOL you've found another nutter that agrees with you . He doesnt mention that almost all games were on FTA and Pay.

what's that got to do with overlapping games?

Perhaps it has something to do with his goal of maximising ratings?

One doesn't negate the other

Just crunched a few numbers on Fox last round (no streaming):

NRL total 1.826k at average of 228k.
AFL total 1.282k at average of 142k.

The NRL is smashing 'em!!!!! Has there ever been a bigger difference in the numbers???? And once streaming is added it will be even worse for the fumbling game.

I’m more interested in the total numbers not just fox. All I get from fox figures are that more people who like to watch Rl subscribe to fox.... which we all know anyhow. It’s a relatively small population.

I have not tallied the total numbers for FTA and Pay, but have now updated each round with all the ratings I could find in the respective codes tv ratings threads. Like you say, we cannot base popularity on Fox figures alone.

No you can't beatup!!! But you can base popularity on Fox by.................ummmmmmm..................ahhhhhhh.................oh yeah................Fox figures!!!!!

And the NRL is absolutely smashing your fave mess. And the question I posed is ;has the difference ever been bigger'. And if the gap is bigger than ever then that of course impacts on .............................ummmmmm.................oh yeah................the total number!!!

firstly, what punter of fan of AFL would actually watch all 9 games. ........................
secondly, AFL has the best coverage on FTA than any sport in Australia. (which actually lifts ratings)
thirdly, of course all numbers should be added up as a total. though you can also add
fox and FTA separately, it gives it a good run down..

no one is saying you would watch all 9 games. However, even if you can spare 6 hrs to watch sport on Saturday, that's 2 AFL games and 3 NRL games. Same viewing, 50% more ratings counted
