The source of the table on that website is "Roy Morgan Research"


These the same geniuses that produced a figure that suggested 1 million Sydneysiders support the Swans?


;)


*EDIT. Yes, yes it was :)

http://www.roymorgan.com/news/press-releases/2011/1424/index.cfm?printversion=yes

As of June 2011, Sydney Swans had the most fans of any AFL team with 1,042,000 supporters (14+).

LMFAO GTFO here with rubbish surveys from discredited sources


Try a credible source next time champ.


6.6 million people watch AFL eh? Where are they all on GF day?

The game soared to 2.6m viewers, enough to top the ratings in Week 40. Last year’s first Grand Final was 2.8m followed by 2.68m for the re-match. The 2009 Grand Final averaged 2.87m.

Geez, bit of a let down given 6.6 million people apparently "occasionally" watch the game at worst.


Particularly given two of those years feature the worlds most famous and biggest footballing organisation ;) in Collingwood

4.9mill plus 3.9mill plus 1.3mill equals 10.1mill which is more than 6.6mill plus 1.5mill (8.1mill).
Have you even looked at the table? The 'almost always' column per capita suggests a rugby league win anyway,even without taking the hard figures into account.
Your ignorance is astounding. If you are going to provide statistics, at least make them suit your argument, not defeat it.
Run along now.
You do realise there is a fair bit of 'overlap' in those numbers and you cant just add them together, Im guessing the 4.9m people who watch the NRL SOG arent totally unique to the 3.9m that watch NRL on FTA....
You dont honestly think there are 10.1 million people watching nrl??

Why not?

The delusional Essenscum fan believes there are 6.6 million people watching Aussie Rules. :D


End of the day, both sports are about as popular as each other.


No matter how much people on both sides of the fence want to get into a pissing contest.

As another poster pointed out. It's not just a simple case of adding all the figures together. I can't see how a person who watches the sport on Pay TV will just stop watching it on Free to air. Or a person who watches Free to Air Rugby League will not be watching the State of Origin. I would say that FTA figures would be the best indicator. I don't think he defeated his argument at all. However, I don't know how reliable the survey is because I don't know how it would have been conducted.

If they were going to get it reasonably accurate then they would have to have a large sample size of people and divide it up into appropriate ratios for the population for each state. Also have a clear definition of "Rugular" or "Occassional". Some people who watches it once a month would consider that regular, but others would rate that as occasional.

It still means more sets of eyes watch rugby league in this country than AFL.
Look, my first love is Aussie rules, but the notion among its fans that rugby league is unpopular is a myth that needs to be debunked. Stop being so precious about it.
The majority of the country's population lives north of the Murray. It's simple maths and physics. Even the table that Admiral Afterworld provided, at its most simple, still means people are watching more rugby league games than AFL.

We probably need more susbstantial info that what has already been provided to argue it properly.
I'll be perfectly honest, I can't be bothered doing it.
Not now anyway.
Go Tiges.

No, it doesnt.... You clearly have a very poor understanding of basic maths and statistics so im not going to bother arguing, but that table shows more people watch regular season afl than even the most popular form of nrl in s.o.o.
As someone stated, theres no telling how accurate that table is, i wouldnt take it as fact or even close to fact, but please at least get the interpretation of the numbers right!

Just checked Ticketek
Sorry, we're unable to obtain the ticket you requested. This is either due to Ticketek's allocation becoming exhausted since you got to this page as other customers may be in the process of completing their transaction on all remaining tickets, or the number of tickets you requested is greater than the maximum available adjacent seats. Please try again.

does this mean they are sold out?

This is becoming a common occurance with games being sold out.
I have contacted the AFL in the past about this and this is what they told me.
The MCG is what they refer to as a "sell on demand" ground. They sell reserved seats in sections on demand and if the demand is for all reserved seating then that is what they sell. If reserved seats are not sold then you can buy general admission tickets or use a membership ticket to get into the ground on match day and sit in the areas that have not been sold.
Etihad is sold differently. Unless the match is declared a fully ticketed match they sell reserved seats on level 1, 2 and the front rows of level 3. You can buy general admission tickets in advance too, something you cannot do for MCG games. They also hold over about one third of level 3 general admission for club members or general admission on the day.
I remember going to the round one match against you guys when Cousins played his first game, the game was also a sellout (and by the way attracted a bigger crowd than ANZAC day did that year). On the night they made announcements that even though it was a sellout club members were still able to scan their tickets and go the standing room. This may be an option for this game so you can ring the MCG to find out if this will apply for tonight.
Good luck.

It shows no such thing.

It shows that of their sample audience, they were able to extrapolate this out to a ridiculously mythical figure of 6.6 million people.

1 million people supporting the Swans. That's a hell of alot of old Sth Melbourne fans, given no more than 20% would come from Sydney :D

Explain where the missing 4 million people are on GF day...

BWAHAHAHAHA. Nope.

Let's look at FACTS lol.


Total NRL viewers = 5.2m (3.9 + 1.3)
of which 4.9m watch SOO
Total AFL viewers = 8.1m (6.6 + 1.5)

This is why:
AFL = $1.25B
NRL > $1B
FACT

You can't discount SOO. It is the pinnacle of rugby legue. The season proper is even compromised for it. To discount SOO would be like taking away the figures of the AFL finals series.
