A Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey taken on Sunday showed 8.4 million Australians aged 18+ (44.5%) watched the AFL Grand Final much higher than suggested by the official Channel 7 ‘5 City Metro’ ratings of 2.7 million.

A further Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey taken on Monday showed 6.5 million Australians aged 18+ (34.5%) watched the NRL Grand Final again much higher than suggested by the official Channel 9 ‘5 City Metro’ ratings of 2.3 million.

“The different time slots for the games also skewed the method used to watch the games. The Saturday afternoon ‘timeslot’ of the AFL Grand Final drew bigger audiences at pubs and hotels and watching at friend’s houses compared to the NRL Grand Final held in the evening.

“Streaming the Saturday afternoon AFL Grand Final via an app or website was more likely for Metro area viewers (81,000) than those in the rest of Australia (18,000). The situation was reversed for the night-time NRL decider with more rural and regional viewers (57,000) of the NRL Grand Final streaming via an app or website compared to their ‘5 City Metro’ area counterparts (37,000).

“Interestingly, despite the larger audience of the AFL Grand Final than the NRL Grand Final – this difference was entirely a result of larger audiences in Australia’s five largest ‘Capital Cities’. There was little difference in the total viewers in the rest of Australia between the two matches with Roy Morgan showing the NRL Grand Final had a higher number of TV viewers outside the ‘5 City Metro’ area than the AFL Grand Final.”

A snap SMS survey Lololololololololololololo. Roy Morgan have been caught out so many times with these pointless surveys they're irrelevant. I'm sure you fumbling zealots will hang your collective dunces hats on it though Lololololololololol.

Lol so out of 20 plus million people
They surveyed how many people
Oh my
The fumblers cling to anything they can .

Surveys are easy to skew
How many from each state .
How many per state ..
Say 250 from each state..
Does that reflect the population
Does 250 from tas representing about half a mill equal 250 from NSW representing about 16 times that number ..

Great figures shown here

if you can see clear flaws in their methodoly please show us.

Anyway, I'm sure if it showed the opposite result youd be more than happy to claim a victory

No I wouldn't
I've always laughed at Morgan polls .

Go look at some of their results
Laughable doesn't begin to describe it
Here's an oldie but a goodie

In 2001 they claimed 786,000 Vics supported the Storm .

Lol
Just lol

It's all about the question asked. If they ask Victorians "which NRL team do you follow" it's obvious they would choose the storm over other teams.

Their poll question was perfectly appropriate. "Did you watch the ...... grand final. If so, where and on what media"?

Here's a good one:

If you scroll down the article you will see a certain friend of ours who had this say:

"The_Wookie said | March 28th 2017 @ 8:32am | ! Report
I think the best measure is registered club players, and the ARU will release that data themselves. Everyone else – the ABS, the ASC (Ausplay), Morgan and others are surveys – the ARU should be giving flat data."

Yep. They're just surveys - can't argue with that. I'll go with the companies that actually collect and collate the ratings data over a spurious 'snap SMS survey".

And for your info - If Roy Morgan came out and gave RL a massive margin ahead of the AFL I would say the same thing.

Lol
Polls are so accurate .

There's way too many variables

Keep grasping at those straws fumblers .

it all depends on the question they ask. As for you saying the same thing if the NRL came out in front, BS

yet RM polls all consistently show the AFL is more popular.

You realise the TV ratings are basically a form of poll right?

It's not just the question my friend. It also depends on who commissions the poll - there could be an agenda involved. And most importantly in this case who and how many people did they "snap SMS". They claim they got answers from around 1,600 ppl but how many did they actually SMS? 10,000, 20,000, 30,000? I mean who actually replies to a 'snap SMS survey'?

Too many variables my friend to take seriously.
