18th club, whose next?

[Canard]

Regular season games don't draw in Melbourne

How many cones did you pull to come up with that doozy?

 

[Pippen94]

You didnt answer the question.

What question?!

Go look at ratings on tvtonight.com, Larry Bird

 

[Perth Red]

What question?!

What's making you so afraid of the game growing beyond its traditional boundaries?

AFL in Brisbane draws 20-35k fta TV audiences. That should be a realistic target for NRL in Perth. Or are you suggesting AFL is a more watchable game than NRL?

Not. Don't need money pit in Perth to do that. EPL grows worldwide without having teams outside of england

Your comparing NRL to EPL now? Cleary NRL isnt getting much traction on FTA in Perth at moment, by your own admission.
I added a second bit re AFL audiences in Brisbane. Dont you think NRL in Perth could match that? Wouldnt you like to see our game grow in AFL territory? Hmmm.

Storm do less than that will population of 6 million. Engage Perth with double header & origin. Save money by bringing in tigers who will support themselves

Perth and Melbourne are not the same. And there is strong argument that the NRL's lack of investment in Victoria shows that an NRL team alone wont get the cut through. How else would you explain AFL's performance in Sydney and Brisbane in comparison?

Again with your fear of seeing the game grow and wanting to restrict it to two states.

Swans did 21k last week in Sydney. State of origin & grand final for both codes only true national events. No need for perth

AFL in Brisbane FTA did 29k, 30k, 16k, 24k last weekend. We get Perth to that, or better, and we add over 1.3million extra audience to NRL annual stats.

Great, that's shit ratings. Proves my point

An extra 1.3million new viewers for season audience is sht? Hmmm.
Not sure you understand how growth works lol

Sure they're all individual viewers too lol

duck, weave. 1.3milion total audience extra in anew market. Got to be worth something?

Different 25k watching every week..um no

 

[Perth Red]

Different 25k watching every week..um no

no one said they where. I said if we can grow the current 7k-10k Perth NRL FTA viewers to the same level as AFL is getting in Brisbane it will add over 1.3million to the NRLs total season audience, and in a new market. Strange you dont see this as being valuable? But we waste interweb space. Ch9 wont be deciding where club18 goes.

 

[Steel Saints]

It will be a privately owned consortium same as Storm, Souths, Warriors, Titans in all likelihood.

But Perth needs to learn alot from the Storm consortium because they are in AFL heartland. Perhaps when it comes to the bidding process, get a few officials from Melbourne in a consultant way to help Perth out.

Moving to Melbourne as melbourne2 would help

There is a lot they can learn I'm sure, especially in the amazing way Storm seem to really embrace the players and their families and create a very close knit community within the club. Mind you there's a lot of clubs that could benefit from learning that I suspect! Getting some seasoned administrators running the club will be important. I know Shane Richardson isnt everyone's cup of tea but he's been there and done it. Peter Parr is another one with a an old reds link Id be trying to snag.
Dolphins have stated the Perth bid team have met with them a number of times already to learn about what made their bid succesful.

This pelican fight is very tiresome.
