What's a pie game?

Perth Red likes to watch videos of skinny, white, male teens doing cream pies.

 

[Penrith fan]

It’s a game played in Melbourne in front of thousands of racist slime balls.

What crap.

It's the Collingwood game.

Collingwood are called the magpies.

Shortened it is Pies.

Its the Collingwood v Essendon game on Anzac Day at the MCG.

Are you typing Bombres on purpose?

Is this some sort of Aussie Rules joke that we don't know about?

And by logic, a joke that 99.9% of the world doesn't know about.

 

[Perth Red]

Can you explain what you mean there? You are (correctly) stating that Aussie Rules is shown on 7Mate (a secondary channel), but then go on to say they wouldn't let there games be shown on secondary channels?

It needs some clarification.

As for the AFL ratings for ANZAC Day, that game is quite literally there biggest game of the year bar finals, so thats basically there Origin done for the year.

Ch7 usually has a sydney team and a qlnd team on their main channel in those states. Other games not featuring those clubs are on 7 mate.

Tell us more about afl on television. It’s really interesting

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

That's one humdinger of a Reach/Average ratio.

Care to remind us which essential verities Reach is helping to address?

Subliminal lingering influence of the Norman Conquest.

 

[The_Wookie]

That's one humdinger of a Reach/Average ratio.

In this particular case, it will have dragged over viewers from the News. Even the average is probably inflated because of this.

Which is nothing new.

Thus Reach doesn't address anything significant. Just additional detail, of passing interest only.

 

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

Reach is patently more prone to distortion from the halo effect than Average. Clearly absurd to place Giants/Lions higher than Magpies/Bombers in the ratings.

The best counterargument seems to be "doesn't matter, everyone knows it's rubbish". Begs the question, why are ratings agencies publishing rubbish? And why are other sites and Twitter pages regurgitating rubbish?

Even the AFL CEO wouldn't have the gall to cite the 2 million Giants rating as proof Fumble is taking over Western Sydney, but how do we know these phoney numbers won't find their way into end-of-year totals?

Reach will be published every week, and make its way into Tweets and end of season totals, you may have to come to accept that.

Love it when the fumbler masks slips off for certain people

Reach tells us the number of unique viewers that watched for at least a minute of the broadcast. Thats it. That information is going to mean different things to different people.

Reach will be published every week, and make its way into Tweets and end of season totals, you may have to come to accept that.

Unfortunately yes. Reach is the new proposed standard - Nine apparently held out for a while - but this is what the Commercial networks that own Oztam have all agreed on. Its not going anywhere.

 

[Wb1234]

So once the news finished 75 percent of viewers switched off
