Matty Johns and Paul Vautin.
What role models they were.

Life isn't about being a role model it's about being yourself. Each to their own. Politically correct people are normally quite boring . |

I stopped watching when they sacked Blocker - nobody did drag better!
The game is fcuked on so many levels now. The TV ratings were interesting for the GF's, both featuring many people's "most hated, and 2nd most hated" teams! It was reflected, with BOTH codes returning their lowest viewing audiences since 2008 ... not quite interest level zero - but getting there! 3.38 million watched the AFL featuring a Melbourne and a Perth team - little interest in the biggest market, Sydney, up against G1 Spring Racing on a glorious Saturday afternoon. 3.03 million watched the NRL with teams from the 2 biggest viewing markets, Sydney and Melbourne, up against nothing on a Sunday evening. I was surprised to note that the AFL's record was 4.45 million in 2005 for Sydney v West Coast! The same year 4.1 million viewed the classic West Tigers (NSW) v Cowboys (QLD) encounter. Like SOO (the only thing keeping the NRL alive) they are entrenched "events" on the calendar, regardless of who is involved, but it must be a concern to those who negotiated the TV deals, when these unpopular teams are up there - both audiences more than 1 million below their peaks. |

I went off the Footy Show as well ages ago. However I don't think Foxs stuff is all that much better. That Professors Whatever lt is show is as weak as water. The Matty Johns one is better - however the reliance on all the Fox Footy Shows re Hindmarsh, Fletcher & Finch to get a laugh is just over the top. Got to mix it up a bit more. Re Blocker Roach Dr E - I actually think he is good on a panel making comments. However as a commentator during a game he is my pet hate (in fact its the only time I switch to nine). I refer to him as Captain Bloody Obvious. Alexander, Gasnier & Ennis are good analysts - Meninga not so. I think Yvonne Sampson & Shirvington are pretty good anchors. Also good to see Graeme Hughes back on TV with the old Controversy Corner revamp - & the odd call as well. Anyway - would seem Fox pretty well have it too themselves now. Just hope they don't see that as a reason to think they have their program formats perfected - because they are far from it.

Dr, you may want that to be the case but it will hurt you to know your wrong. You’re basing that on one game (GF) The regular NRL season has been fantastic and was good news for both the tv networks and the game itself. It is AFL who is in trouble At the end of the regular season The average free-to-air audience for the NRL was a flat 600,181 in 2018 compared to 2017. Double what the AFL got AFL for 2018 was 307,793 (down 13 per cent on 2017), The average subscription TV audience (Foxtel) for the NRL was 240,879 in 2018 (up 3 per cent on 2017), compared to.184,821 for the AFL (down 7 per cent on 2017). NRL’s cumulative audience this season was 94.3 million, compared to the AFL’s live audience of 89.2m. Not including SOO The NRL’s growing share of total TV in Sydney and Brisbane points to the code continuing to be attractive to the bidding networks. |

Shrunk I think to be fair you need to take the international audience into the AFL figures. The actual figure would then go from 89,200,000 to 89,200,010

Cumulative season audience figures for the two codes highlight the NRL’s dominance. The NRL’s cumulative audience this season was 94.3 million, compared to the AFL’s live audience of 89.2m. This excludes State of Origin figures. If the data for those three games are added, rugby league’s audience for the 2018 season was more than 105m.
Add the GF audience figures that The good doctor provided above and it looks like this for the season NRL 108. 3 million viewers AFL 92.3 million viewers |

You do realise Shrunk that you have just started WW3. Suggesting that NRL is a more popular (better ?) game is asking for trouble. Got ready for game attendance , population comparison's & number of states involved. And rainfall figures

I won't be wasting my time guys, other than to say, it's a bit hard to watch the game "live" on TV, when you are at the ground, actually watching the game "live". Finals week 2 NRL Friday Night Panthers v Sharks (two Sydney teams in Sydney) - Crowd 19,211 AFL Friday Night Hawks v Melbourne (two Melb teams in Melb) - Crowd 90,152 Season Attendances NRL - 3,174,547 AFL - 7,595,165 Again, without SOO, Rugby League would be dead and buried years ago. People who do sit at home and put up with the contrived joke of a spectacle that is thrown up to them, game in game out, are in the main dribbling morons anyway ... particularly the Rooters and Melbourne Fraud fans - try to argue that! Anyway, that was the first Rugby League GF that I have not watched in over 50 years. |

So there are > 200 million people watching NRL and AFL in Australia? I don't think the advertisers are buying that one!
I think we can safely say that the same people are viewing multiple games, so the actual numbers of viewers is harder to determine - yes? But we can extrapolate the total viewing time! That's right, placement opportunities - more time to place ads, more revenue for the network! The average NRL game lasts 90 minutes x 111.5 million = 10,035,000,000 minutes of viewing time. The average AFL game lasts 120 minutes x 98.9 million = 11,868,000,000 minutes of viewing time. So in ENGLISH, that means that AFL was viewed MORE than NRL in 2018. We didn't even consider that the stay at home NRL fan can watch 3 games, in the time it takes the AFL fan to travel to, attend and travel home from a game ... but you can have a crack at that one! Would you like to also do some numbers on potential Advertising revenues ... considering the time that the networks can charge for, when the AFL has 1 minute after every goal, say 20-25 minutes per live match, plus THREE playing breaks. The NRL has to break into live action at times to get a 30 second ad in, and has only one game break. I would prefer to be selling advertising on AFL! I really don't know where we can take this from here? ... VFL, SANFL, WAFL, NEAFL v State Cups? ... Women's footy? |

The strangest thing I saw during the grand final was one of the ads they ran for a movie. Some teenage girl superhero- girl power- forget the name- started with A. Anyway the ad ran then it said opening on Boxing Day. Boxing Day- that must be planting the seed advertising. Wouldn't work on me obviously because I've already forgotten everything about it except the opening day.

Surely the fact the AFL games overlap each other whereas the NRL only ever has 1 game being played at a time also has some effect on TV audiences?

aaaaahhhhh, of course!
Sydney Roosters Administrators Immediately Begin Shredding DocumentsFollowing the Sydney Rooster’s 21-6 win over the Melbourne Storm, executive staffmembers ordered to watch the fort at the Roosters’ HQ have immediately begun destroying any form of a paper trail. This includes third-party contracts, players contracts and of course any minutes of any meeting with Eastern Suburbs business owners that may or may not have resulted in a couple boys getting a house built for them down on the beach. “Go! go! go!” shouts one executive from the top floor, named Bronte. “Quick. kissen move. The integrity unit will be coming in here with a door ram any minute. Destroy it all” Speaking to local club members who have volunteered to help in the post-Grand Final bell clean up, the Betoota Advocate was informed that it’s great to see the boys get a win. “It’s an amazing feeling” said one local club volunteer, Artie Rubin, as he began pouring kerosene into a steel garbage can of highly confidential documents. “Oi, you got a match? Gotta get down to the clubhouse for the homecoming” “Quick, hurry up cup cake. Move it” At time of press, there were six garbage cans roaring in the executive floor of the Roosters offices. https://www.betootaadvocate.com/sports/sydney-roosters-administrators-immediately-begin-shredding-documents/?goal=0_ac916ebeb2-e0c1324e48-215844141&mc_cid=e0c1324e48&mc_eid=1b8d058525 |

They are smart, put the league's former compliance officer Ian Schubert on the payroll.
How funny was it after the grand final with Shoey up on the dais and all those Melbourne Storm players he stripped of premierships having to shake his hand.

Would have almost been worth watching for that alone! Not really, the image you describe is just as good - in 36 years time it will be like I was there!
