Are you making more sense of this new system than you appear to be? ...Ride the Lion to Zion..
WTF ..
It's a reasonable question from a non-expert to the expert.

This new system purported to be more accurate and comprehensive. Reach is now the principal figure in ratings tables. Often not labelled, let alone explained. There's no 5-city breakdown, nor metro/regional split. Add to that the disappearance of Fox STB data. No small matter since that's where NRL heavily out-rates AFL.

I would say the average person is now less informed. Mostly in ways helpful to Fumble propaganda.

There is a remote chance you might be right but either way it’s shite
For example, if someone was watching flog ball for only a minute, apparently this gets counted. Not because they were fans of the game, they just wanted to see something for 60 seconds, but the 61st second they switched off, coz they thought this game is crap.
In the mean time Coates try has over 100 million views around the world. WHAT A FKN TRY THAT WAS 👏

I understand how it works believe me. Simple fact is that football is only one component of tv offerings so I’m not going to assume the new ratings system was introduced to help the floggers. I think it’s just a stupid system based on a false premise.

The quotes below are from a Twitter exchange following Fumble opening round in NSW/QLD,

sportsindustry - "Dillon to ABC - AFL was the number one program on Seven three nights in a row"

Reply from (likely) NRL fan - "Not in Brisbane and Sydney it wasn't. From the few capital city ratings that were published they weren't anything to write home about"

sportsindustry - "Good thing these networks are national then"

Expect plenty more in similar vein. Hugely inflated Reach figures, with no 5-city breakdown, used to give an impression the whole country is watching AFL.

My boy went to an afl game with his GF last year. He sat in the box stuffing his face watching Manly Penrith on the box. After he said dad I never watched a minute of that crap, he said he doesn't understand why people love this shit, it really is shit
