Another big win for the AFL over the NRL. I don’t think the AFL and Channel 7 has been beaten on any Thursday night this season.
Massive gap between the codes in reach and average tv ratings yet again.
Rank Description Network Reach Average BVOD
1 SEVEN’S AFL: THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Seven 1,909,000 644,000 47,000
6 THURSDAY NIGHT NRL LIVE Nine 1,240,000 561,000 78,000
On a quiet night ahead of a long weekend, AFL Thursday featuring a one-side win for Collingwood over Brisbane was the night’s top sporting event averaging 644k, down 65k from the previous week.
The NRL delivered a close fought game with The Dragons holding on for a two-point win over the Sea Eagles. However, the TV audience of 561k was down +100k from the last Thursday game and was a six-week low.

Beatup, you have stated a couple of whopping lies here pal. You need to retract these statements: " I don’t think the AFL and Channel 7 has been beaten on any Thursday night this season. Massive gap between the codes in reach and average tv ratings yet again."
I have sourced the actual facts from our dear mutual friend Sportsindustry (AKA The Sookie). He states that the average FTA ratings for the fumbling game on Thursdays is 645k. The Average for Australia's most watch sport i.e. Rugby League is 655k.
Now I know you're less than hopeless with maths and the truth beatup. But I must point out that 655 is a greater number than 645. Please to speak to Mrs beatup if you can't comprehend this.
This means that RL is the most watched sport on Thursday nights this year in our great vast land. It's a close run thing beatup but the fact remains that 655 is bigger than 645. And of course we know that once Fox is added RL will smash the fumbling game.
Now if you dispute this you will have to research a couple of blokes who were good on calculations. I suggest A.Einstein and I. Newton. From them you will learn that numbers don't lie pal.
I hope you have found this educational beatup. Have a great day and keep morale high.
