Play Nice 2020 Non AFL Admin, Crowds, Ratings, Participation etc thread

[Kwality]

Will add a bit more to my post.
I just think that with female at 47% participation already and future prospects up there looking good. The QLD male rate at 53% currently is low by any other State I think, but dont have any other states male figures presently so with an NRL push into schools primarily targeting boys is it maybe likely that the QLD male figure will continue to drop over time relative to the females.
Lots of speculation I know but have to have these discussions.
Late notes -Some Stats --
2019 -WA - 38% Female participation -62% male - female will increase slowly from that figure, which makes QLD figure outstanding.
2018 - VIC -26% " 74% male -Big female growth since 2018 so rate will be up considerably.
2020 a disaster for our game but it survived with the main AFL comp being held.
Can anybody find the Vic 2019 figures for above female info.

IF participation is a measure of anything else (crowds/TV ratings at the higher level) is unproven.

Why's that? The man is a carnival barker, a glorified PR agent.

A big mistake to think that.

Those that know of him only from NRL are naive.

Indeed. He's go getter and generally gets what he wants, and very rarely if at all fails.
Only the inerudites would under estimate him.

 

[magic_johnson!]

Under estimate Peter V'landys at your peril.
AFL house don't that's for sure.

I don’t underestimate him, nor for that matter do I underestimate Trump. Just find the language that both of them use to be quite...odd, and potentially risky.

Unlike Trump he's got the media on his side

Fear? You're mistaken, I don't fear him at all. Can you please explain why it's a big mistake to think that way?

Except he has left the NRL with hundreds of millions worse off for most of the next decade

Only delusional rugby league folk can't see this

 

[Bjo187]

Exactly the media love him because he signed a longterm deal when the market was at its lowest with them

 

[jatz14]

Huh ? You quoted 62% for WA males. I'd say 9% difference is commendable.



With the Lions resurgence where's this loss you allude to ?

Its 9% lower, of a lower total. Overall participation rate is much higher in WA, so that 9% difference would be much larger, if you were to state it as a % of the population for instance, rather than a percentage of participants. After all, if there are 2 participants, and 1 is male, thats 50%.

I note the asinine comments from some unlettered and ineducable posters.
Fear and jealously is a terrible thing and eats you up inside and gives you ulcers.

Yes, I've noticed that from you.

Unless you can provide the link with the original context - percentage is a straight comparison.

I note your refusal to explain beyond "don't underestimate him". Why?

Actually, like Trump, he has certain segments of the media cheerleading him.
Also, one could argue there is a good reason why certain segments of the media are cheerleading him: he gave them long term broadcast deals at discounted prices!
Looked at another way, he's their patsy!

Lol fear and jealousy over what? Much lower attendances, tv viewers, tv rights money, sponsorship, revenue, national footprint, participation numbers. Actually those have gone backwards under v'landy's, the only thing that has gone up is media praise and we all know why that is because they are loving the deals he has signed with them . The longer this bloke is in power the better in my opinion.

To the point where you start troll accounts on the forums dedicated to the code that induced the fear and jealousy in the first place!

Ouch!

Remember when soccer fans used to say the AFL popped the champers everytime the socceroos failed to make it to the World Cup, well, I reckon each week v'landys stays in the job represents another round of clinking flutes.

I dunno, I haven't seen anything to suggest he's incompetent, although negotiating his way to a huge drop in TV rights then promising clubs they won't get less money comes close.

What I question is the media fawning over a guy who doesn't seem to have much of a list of achievements.

What he did with Sydney racing was fairly impressive, particularly the Everest.

I've heard that, but the Everest doesn't create a ripple over here, and I suspect thats the same everywhere outside Sydney.
For the world's richest turf race if anything it's a bit disappointing.

Remember when soccer fans used to say the AFL popped the champers every time the socceroos failed to make it to the World Cup,

Yes, silly soccer fans.
