Well this first round was a smashing start to the AFL's 2012 season.
Firstly the crowd total was 367,671, an average of 40,852. Not only was it the most attended first round ever it was the second most attended round in AFL history, falling short of the record by only a few hundred. It was an increase of 15.7% on last years first round attendance total.
Secondly the TV ratings were an amazing TOTAL of 5.298 million!! Last years round 1 total was 3.167M. Thats an increase of 2,085k or 66%!!!
What a start! =D> =D> =D>

I just finished tallying the ratings up myself. Nearly fell off the chair when I got the total of nearly 5.3 million viewers.
Add the increase in crowds and the AFL is booming.
Boom times for the jewel of Australian sport. =D> =D> =D>

LMAO
Poor pussycat wont even discuss the tv ratings for Round 1 now. Instead he tries to discredit Roy Morgan. Terrible week for throwball fans. The one and only thing they thought they had over the AFL was tv ratings and they've been well and truly smashed up and battered all over the place this week.

Round 2 Crowds
Brisbane v Carlton (GABBA) 25,920
Essendon v Port (Docklands) 34,118
Sydney v Fremantle (SCG) 22,242
West Coast v Melbourne (Subiaco) 35,674
Collingwood v Richmond (MCG) 57,268
Adelaide v Westerb Bulldogs (Football park) 34,021
North v GWS (Bellerive) 11,127
St Kilda v Gold Coast (Docklands) 21,032
Geelong v Hawthorn (MCG) 69,231
Total Round 2 Crowd: 311,033
Average: 34,599
2011 Total: 270,493
2011 Average: 33,812
Just 6,000 short of 2010 (317,895) which is the current record. Still up on last years aggregate for round 2 in a round which featured a north v gws match in tasmania - the average crowd for the round is HIGHER than the same round last season. Remarkable.

Massive crowd at the g tonight. So, will the single AFL game crowd get more than double the two NRL games put together? Remember, one of the nrl games includes their largest NRL team. :D
Damn, only 85k . Almost!

nrl crowds and ratings down.
Interestingly RU crowd averages are down 50% in less than 10 years.
