Fox should make a half an hour break between live games so the post and pre game shows get higher ratings

Wtf a news ltd story being positive about the dolphins

 

[The Penguin #6.]

Pretty solid numbers and great to see the jump on last year.
If they can up the prize money on the pre-season competition and give it a bit more time to develop it could be another money-spinner in its` own right.

Better than many actual afl games get and way ahead of a league

 

[Perth Red]

Thats not far off many NRL games. I still prefer pre season nines though.

 

[The Penguin #6.]

Having quarters doesn`t seem to be affecting viewership and the ref`s certainly haven`t let up on their real and imagined knock-on and forward pass obsessions. Cut that crap out and have twenty minutes of frenetic play followed by quarter, half and a three-quarter breaks could be the way of the future.

Interesting thought. You could always test it I guess in some early season rounds and analyse the reaction.

Quarters are crap

I don’t particularly like them per se but extra advertising probably will help the broadcaster revenue.

Nah I’d rather take less if that’s the case

I know where you`re coming from mate, but we`re old school and what we want doesn`t really matter. Interesting too that the issue of breaks hasn`t been mentioned once from what I`ve seen over the weekend.
Up to a point maximising revenue coming into the game is the number one priority for me, and if that means a five minute quarter and three quarter break I could probably live with it. Especially if the action and tempo was upped during the time in play.
It makes an interesting comparison with the union though, the stop start nature of that sport would make quarters all but unbearable.
Having said all that, Christ from what I saw on the Super-Bowl today, if your fans are hooked they`ll put up with any amount of stoppages.

Yeh I’m just an old angry man shouting at clouds lmao (I was thinking what you said when I posted mine)

arlc was thinking about 4 x 25 minute quarters which is actually better as it’s a bit more fatigue back in the game which quarters reduces

fox didn’t go to adds during the quarter breaks though

 

[Canard]

Has no-one here watched pre-season footy before? It's always been in quarters!

This is nothing new.

Can someone also point out where adding two short breaks in 80min game suddenly mean Millions in extra TV money?

Quarters take away the dominant teams momentum and lets weaker teams off the hook. Hate them.
