    The annual finals system debate thread

    Injuries happen in all types of games. The 1v4 winner advantage is that they get a week off which is a huge thing at the end of a season.

    The annual finals system debate thread

    I think the point that is getting missed here is that people are looking at the final's in isolation and not at the season itself. Over a long 26 week season under the McIntyre system, Team 3 may and usually does have far more wins than Team 6 but essentially has the same chance as Team 6...

    Nine dumps Wimbledon to chase AFL

    But that's the point. The one thing you would all agree is that big business loves making money and they don't care how they make it, who they make it from and in what form it comes. Conversely they hate losing money as it effects executive salaries and bonuses, stock options and everything else...

    Nine dumps Wimbledon to chase AFL

    Why does it make no sense at all? As an extreme example, if Apple sells 10,000 or even 9,000 iPhones and McDonalds sells 10,000 or even 11,000 burgers, who makes more profit from the sales? The value of the product is paramount to the dollars made, not just the raw numbers. Thus if the viewing...

    Nine dumps Wimbledon to chase AFL

    The other thing to realize, leaving aside who has better ratings is the demographics of the audience. 18-49 is the most valuable demographic for all advertisers and within that females are more valuable than men. Certainly the fact that the AFL have close to a 50% female viewing audience as...

    NRL v AFL Business Side

    It is not just Soccer, it is other forms of entertainment. The world is changing fast as are people preferences. In 1970, Australia was 80-85% Anglo Saxan and in 2040, it will 40+% Asian. These type of shifts transcend any one sport but effect the way society functions from the government to...

    NRL v AFL Business Side

    Drew-Sta you certainly get where I am coming from and in the end a true business person has to take the emotion out of situation and has to take rational decisions with a long term view for whatever code they represent. Clearly the FFA are doing it, the AFL are doing it, Cricket Australia do...

    NRL v AFL Business Side

    To those criticizing AFL as a sport, talking about Hunt and Folau being good/irrelevant and who has better ratings now are missing the point. The AFL has realized their battle is both against Soccer and other forms of entertainment. They are also fighting to be relevant as well and thus trying...

    NRL v AFL Business Side

    So if you read all the forum replies and indeed on the AFL forums following the expected Folau signing for GWS in the AFL, most people are completely missing the point on the business side and the wider implications across all sports. The chest beating on both sides misses exactly what is going...
