I never said anything about them making money from it. I said they could boost their profile from it overseas, much as league did doing the same dodgy ancestry eligibility. WTF does the gaelic world cup have to do with the AFL anyway.

Theres zealots in every code of sport. Would it be nice to be able to get people to shut up about the international side of things? maybe. Personally I can live without the hassles other codes have with players deserting to go overseas. Its slightly protectionist, but if the US went for a full...

The AFL as it is, was a simple name change of an existing competition that has been run since 1897. Make no mistake, its in the leagues official history. There is no difference between the competitions other than the number and location of teams. The code did no such thing. it was already...

ANY sport would like those ratings - the AFL simply doesnt care about spreading the sport internationally, it commits almost no funding to it - all of its funding overseas is aimed at bringing the athletes here - not forging competition over there. The AFL also has had 150 years to put some...

Weirdly TV Tonight is giving two different live figures - 54,000 and 82,000 for Aus v Fiji. I wonder why.

Kurt Heatherly at Hawthorn is a former rugby player and the nephew of former all black Geoff Hines. He's apparently close to getting a senior game after a couple of years as a scholarship player, and international rookie...

Dont forget the AFL generates another $300 million a year in non broadcast revenues, from total 2014 revenues of $522 million. 2017 will likely be the first time that their broadcast revenue overtakes their non broadcast revnue.

What panic exactly? 2.5 billion isnt exactly chump change and its not like they havent been in negotiations since last September...

Fox want simulcasting like they do with the AFL, and the deal penalises the NRL if they take this option by reducing the overall FTA payment. It will have to end up revenue neutral at the vey least for Fox to get simulcast deals. Streaming is an interesting one. The SMH says Telstra arent...

its also going to be reduced if they simulcast those FTA games I believe.

The Bledisloe Cup Crowds and Ratings 2008-2015 (including last nights FTA, but not Fox yet)

Dont underestimate the effect that mobile and tablet apps are having too. Its thought that this is why theres some of the drop in AFL/NRL ratings. Theres a fair few people that have apparently dropped off the ratings radar.

Couldnt find 2013? Someone is using my data hahaha.

Here you go

I think part of the problem is that youve got a fledgling NRC competition, 1/3rd of a multinational competition with all the countries good players - that are only in Australia for 1/3rd of their matches, and the test schedule/international sevens. Ive often wondered what would happen if the...

Last year they only generated a profit because they sold Wanderers for 10 million. They havent sold Newcastle and the Asian Cup generates nothing for them, and they make nothing from the interational friendlies.

Fox figures are typically missing almost entirely for matches played in South Africa without aussie teams but also matches that either mediaweel/tvtonight didnt report. When I calculate an average its done on the reported ratiings and games, with no assumptions. Ive started putting the...

Hi lads, Im the guy that does footyindustry,com. Ive just uploaded the Australian Super Rugby ratings for 2010-2012 if it helps. Ive uploaded a spreadsheet with 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015 in it. Im going to attempt to rebuild 2013 from scratch since I didnt do rugby ratings at the time...
