    2026 Attendances

    Not sure that AFL doing something that foreign sporting leagues don't do validates that the AFL loves to emulate foreign sporting leagues. Surely it's more evidence that the AFL appropriates ideas from foreign sporting leagues it thinks work in the AFL context as well as continuing to do a...

    Fixing the draw

    More meaningful contributions to this thread have focussed on ideas related to the "fixing" rather than semantics of the "draw"

    Fixing the draw

    One way you could make a kind of promotion and relegation work is where you enable in-season "promotion" and "relegation" If we are doing 20 teams, have the top 10 and bottom 10 play return round robins for 18 games. You then split in three groups First group is the top 5 in the first...

    Advantage of having waiting lists for season reserve seat tickets

    Fixing the draw

    Something like this could work too....main issue is the entrenchment of travel advantage and MCG GF I think you would need to have the regional ladder's have some bearing on finals / wildcard seeding

    Fixing the draw

    This isn't necessarily true. It is more likely they would want do it to keep the return showdown / derby. I don't think they need to retain return Melbourne derbies Once you hit 20 teams (presumably the next stable number that we will stay at for decades) you could just have 19 games as a...

    Fixing the draw

    You can guarantee 11 home games though if you are doing the 6-6-7 split and playing 4 or 5 more games. It is a far better system. Criticisms such as yours rely on hysteria to make a disadvantage (i.e. the fixture uncertainty in the last 5 rounds) seem far worse than it is, and glib dismissal...

    AFL overtaking NRL in QLD

    You are confusing having a big leagues club with being a sustainable club that enhances the competition. In the long run, if the arse falls out of the team and they fall back to QRL support levels, they will chew up the leagues club's asset position and will hit cause every other team to lose...

    2025 Non AFL Attendance, TV, Finance etc

    Correct. Most sports globally count not attending season ticket holders in the attendance, the AFL is actually an exception. It might be that the NRL counts everyone with a ticket even if they don't attend

    2025 Non AFL Attendance, TV, Finance etc

    Ummm, no, it is not The just played the final of a home asian cup and would have got less reach and perhaps even average than a decent friday night AFL game (i.e combining 7 and fox / kayo). Less viewers than much of the Ashes which is 6 hours a day for up to 25 days (obviously a lot less...

    2026 TV Ratings

    You are incorrect. This is from another thread. AFL still the most popular sport amongst Gen Zs nationally. It is a higher ratio at 1.5 times for gen Zs compared to rugby league than every other generation. The fact they are less likely to watch the whole game would only serve to exacerbate...

    2026 TV Ratings

    I don't think this is true. Advertisers pay for blocks of adds of several weeks or even the season. It is cumulative reach that matters far more than average - i.e. how many different eyes do you get your add in fron of. It is also very clear that reach is more meaningful when comparing a 3...
