2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

Show me the money!

23k ratings ?

Your AFL better keep pumping in those hundreds of millions into Western Sydney chasing those TV viewers….

 

[BuffaloRules]

No they arent, thats average AFL ratings, not Swans ratings, or even Giants ratings. These are all matches shown in Sydney. Swans rate an average about double this,

Lol… it’s not 23k.. it’s 46k…. That’s much better ..

The Swans average 46k viewers ? That's like M.A.S.H re-run numbers.

Why are we worried about AFL ?

Didn't Bledisloe games pull well over a million back in the day ?

They did

Nrl seems to be the only sport whose fta ratings have held up

Hey mate don`t forget this is a 100 year plan.

Hey mate don`t forget this is a 100 year plan.

That 60 yr old AFL commentator who predicted that AFL will be the biggest sport in NSW in his lifetime better start hoping for some major medical advancements in the near future …

You can't leave out Origin numbers just because AFL doesn't have any form of rep football.

I left Origin off on the NRL board because I thought it was obvious to all on this board. This wasnt a comparison post with the AFL.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

It's largely an expat game. AFL is nothing outside of Melbourne and the wasteland states

Yep. I went through the 45 man squads and both Swans and Lions have about 10 players from their respective home states. 17%. Rest are mostly Mexican with a few SA, WA and Irish players.

I've often wondered but makes sense, the TV ratings are not good and the participation rates are overstated as we know. AFL house propaganda makes it sound way more popular than it is.

NRL is really doing expansion the right way. No billion dollar sink holes, financially stable bids that not only are cost neutral for the NRL but actually add to the value of the comp and, most importantly, we go where there is an appetite for the game.

Is it? it’s taken 30 years longer, our only expansion club is nowhere near the size of the swans or lions, we dont produce first graders anything like the numbers that come out of afl expansion areas and we will still only have two non rl area expansion clubs by the time we’ve gone to 20 clubs. And let’s not get started about South Australia!
Hardly a great sign of expansion ambitions is it?

Apart from how much invested we fall short in just about every metric in comparison to afl expansion.

I'm talking about the St Peter Vlandy's administration, those that came before him were all muppets.

Love to see a dollar value spent by the AFL per NSW player produced v spent by the NRL for Victorian players produced. Their spend would be rediculous for the mid results. We get amazing value for money
