Talking Footy

Ok. I'll 'dumb' it down for you Wookie. Seen as though you're so keen on talking only about FTA games, we'll just use them. Let me know if you want to use Foxtel statistics too? You'll only be embarrassed more but.

Alright. Here goes:

Round 1. 3 FTA games. With 1,370,000 veiwers for the 3 games. 1,370,000 ÷ 3 = 456,000 AVERAGE veiwers per game.

Round 2. 1 FTA game. 346,000 veiwers for that game. 346,000 ÷ 1 = 346,000 AVERAGE veiwers per (one game on FTA) game. From round 1 to round 2, the FTA veiwer AVERAGE dropped by 110,000 veiwers.

It gets better but;

Round 3. 1 FTA game. 214,000 veiwers for that match. 214,000 ÷ 1 = 214,000 AVERAGE veiwers per (one game onFTA) game. Another drop of 132,000 AVERAGE veiwers.

I can't make that anymore simple than i have mate. Basic math.

I don't think you can get an average from 1 thing? I may be wrong but thought an average was a measure of central tendency? Mean median and mode being the three of which you have used the mean method but where one figure is used mode or medium would give same result ,,, but I always thought an average was used for more than 1 sample. Happy to stand corrected though. Gosh I may even google this as am curious now.

Yes, would seem I am right.

It's a pretty basic concept Fred. You are thinking waaaay to far into it.

Say, you play cricket. You bat once, score 32 runs, then get out, and never bat again. So from one complete innings, you scored 32 runs. Therefore, your average is 32...

good one them. I'm all for women's sport getting the recognition it deserves. The English rugby union has announced a new professional woman's comp. hopefully oz and other countries follow suit. If they can afford it that is.

no lets do it this way

lets ignore that in week 1 we had regional figures we didnt get in week 2 but which you've elected to include in week 1's average anyway skewing that data way off base.

one week I have two FTA games that rate a certain amount, and i derive an average from the two game metro average, the next week I have only 1 FTA metro rating game that carries an audience almost the equivelant of the previous weeks 2 game average. Thats exactly what happened here.

Fair enough, i can understand not using the regional numbers, i can understand that.

But Wookie! Mate! People are smarter than you think! Using your system, there's a drop in average veiwers of 127,500 from week 1 to 2. Your calling that "almost the equivalent"...

I'm going to have a wild guess here, and suggest you're not an accountant for your day job...

"Recognition they deserve"... Can please elaborate on why they "deserve" this recognition?

Please elaborate on why they "deserve" this recognition? Or are you too embarrassed because you've been called out on something?

called out on what? lol

I have worked closely with women’s teams within rugby, both at club and rep level. The amount of work these young ladies do and the commitment they show to train to get to those rep levels is amazing.

Then the additional work they put in once they get to the rep level, having to train 3 or 4 times a week, even double ups with gym in the morning and training at night but then trying to balance that with a full time job isn’t easy.

It’s great that these women are now being recognised for their hard work and dedication by getting paid.

I am sure that rugby isn’t the only sport where women show that level of commitment so I’m happy they are getting more recognition for their hard work.

Its about far more than the womens competition, which is the public face of a far larger compaign for womens football development that is already paying off in many ways.

The league doesnt have to be profitable in the short term, because the league isnt planning short term. But league folks around here dont seem to understand long term planning - and its kind of understandable since the NRL doesnt understand it either.

Wookie the article that Beau just showed us claimed the women.s game was worth $1m a game - So who kidding who?
