2023 TV/Fox/Streaming Ratings

[The_Wookie]

Any update on the ratings?

NRL consolidated tomorrow.

Australia should stop stockpiling Pacific Islanders to start - tualagi, nene, tino, Holmes, Fifita, ….. hammer, goes on and on. they should be playing for the Pacific teams….

Every one of the players you mentioned was born and lived their entire lives in Australia. The majority haven't even stepped foot in their 'home' country.

What are you even on about?

If i said the sky was blue you wouldnt be convinced. Fortunately you arent the only person on this forum and most have at least some sense.

If anyone else made that post you did they would be ridiculed as pro fumbler nonsense

afl has zero chance to expand outside of Australia. The times they’ve tried it’s been an abject failure

the giants and the suns have been around for ages and are an abject failure. The Brisbane lions aren’t much better

afl peaked in nsw and qld around 20 years ago and it’s on a downward spiral

meanwhile the nrl will add teams which massively increase its footprint

afl had a good 25 years as number one now it’s rugby leagues turn

Might still be yet too.

They havent tried. Clubs going around with AFL approval is not the same as the AFL putting in any effort. It simply has not happened.

the giants and the suns have been around for ages and are an abject failure. The Brisbane lions aren’t much better

Fortunately the AFL has a little more patience than you. Clubs arent built in a day.

afl peaked in nsw and qld around 20 years ago and it’s on a downward spiral

Not according to stuff like data.

meanwhile the nrl will add teams which massively increase its footprint

mybe it will.

afl had a good 25 years as number one now it’s rugby leagues turn

Maybe that too. Maybe not. The AFL hasnt got to where it is by just watching everyone else move.

Yeh even though the attempts in China and Wellington failed this can be ignored because the afl wasn’t behind it

it will be a different game when the afl get behind it more exciting

which data? Google trends has been posted on here. Another article showed on the brisbane times website clicks on afl ranked last out of all sports

the failure of the giants and suns is what it’s like trying to expand into nsw and qld without the leg up of a super league war

ignore it all you want there’s a major issue with the situation of afl in nsw and qld

You’re an absolute nut job, there is something seriously wrong with you.

At the risk of repeating myself, yes.

The AFL has no desire to go intenational.

single year data neither indictes declines or advances.

And you havent got a clue what you are talking about. Despite your hyperbolic bullshit the costs of operating these teams is covered by the AFLs tv rights and commercial activities. When that changes then we might have issues.

No one went into this believing it was a short term success, everyone expected it to be generational except people like you.

I took the short cut with this bloke quite a while ago and just wrote ‘potato’. Immature I know but it’s not worth it.

Plus 30 million a year extra on those lemons rising all the time

poor west coast receiving ten million whilst the giants and suns get 25 to 28 million pa. That’s a travesty

whilst the nrl added a team worth 100 million

afls surplus is being spent on those duds compared to the nrl where all clubs stand up on their own merits and receive the same funding

why doesn’t the afl want to go international ?

that sounds awfully insular especially when your major competitor will soon have teams in 3 nations

also if the afl doesn’t want to go international why have the farce of the afl World Cup ? Why pick an all Australian team ?

why play Ireland in a pseudo afl game ?

Once again I admire your patience. I also admire the info you provide on a RL website. You continually prove that you have no bias. You just posting facts proves that.
You'd be best served to just ignore him and that other clown Harry. RL dickheads of the highest order and an embarrassment to our sport.
I'm no AFL lover at all, (before I get accused of that), but I sincerely hope you continue to provide the info you do.
It is much appreciated.

100% agree and support all you’ve written.

Just when you thought he couldn’t be any dumber he raises the bar!

That is more than covered by broadcast and sponsorship.

Thats the AFLs method of equalisation.
Other than Collingwood few clubs are arcing up about it or ever do.

poor west coast are the richest club in the league.

whilst the nrl added a team worth 100 million

And good for you. Still arent getting the media rights money to the same level. Still arent anywhere NEAR the AFLs revenue.

afls surplus is being spent on those duds compared to the nrl where all clubs stand up on their own merits and receive the same funding

The NRL doesnt have the revenue to do more than that anyway.

why doesn’t the afl want to go international ?

Its not neccesary for them,

that sounds awfully insular especially when your major competitor will soon have teams in 3 nations

Game was made here, and is professionally played here. They arent overly concerned what their major competitior is doing overseas.

also if the afl doesn’t want to go international why have the farce of the afl World Cup ?

Intellectual property. Basically stops Brian Clarke from running his own thing.

Why pick an all Australian team ?

Same reason the Americans do it, represents the best of the best. They dont really have to play anyone.

why play Ireland in a pseudo afl game ?

They havent done that since before COVID and theres no sign of it coming back. It was a half assed approach. Dude they dont even do Origin any more. Rep games arent a thing for the league.

It has probably cost the AFL hundreds of millions to establish the east coast expansion clubs, gaining a foothold in RL territory hasn’t come cheap, are the NRL willing to spend that kind of money to gain a real following in the southern states? Do they have the money?

We don't need Perth and Adelaide anywhere near as much as they need SEQ & Sydney. It is not even close. The first and third biggest states in Australia are essential for the AFL. The wastelands are a nice to have for us.

This long-game thing that AFL types go on about is horse-shit. Lions and Swans didn't 'have a break-through' after persisting with 'the long-game'. They got lucky, RL shot itself in the foot with the SL war which opened the door slightly for them. As you correctly point out, they peaked from the mid-nineties through to the early 2000's and the NRL has slowly been getting it's shit back together. GWS and the Suns will get no such favours, in fact by the time the 'long-game' plays out for the Suns, the NRL will have one more team in SEQ and they and the Lions will be drowned out. Ditto in Sydney.
