Some of your best work!

Meaningless argument. You could literally do the same thing with any team in the league. There are many unexpected losses and unexpected wins every season

Very true.

Port were the outlier in 2021 I think they had 5 games decided by 10 or fewer points and won all 5.

AFL reporters will be furious they can't speculate about Ben King's contract all year

Takes him to 6 years service… first rung of FA eligibility

 

[Sanders]

Interested in the board's thoughts on my 2022 bet with a Carlton co-worker ...

• If Carlton finish more than 2 ladder positions above Adelaide - I lose $50
• If Carlton finish 2 ladder positions above Adelaide - draw, no-one pays
• If Carlton less than 2 ladder positions above Adelaide - I win $50

I might marginally prefer his side

Easy to explain .....out of Football season

Not sure, it has the cred's as Cricket station

What are footy season ratings normally?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

What are footy season ratings normally?

Still pretty small ....it has a niche audience, essentially just footy lovers

April 2021 Ratings (Vic) ...in season, so more representative

3AW - 16.9%
Gold 104.3 - 11.3%
smoothfm 91.5 - 8.4%
101.1 Fox FM - 7.2%
105.1 Triple M - 5.3%
Nova 100 - 7.1%
KIIS 101.1 FM - 5.5%
SEN - 3.0%
RSN 927 - 0.5%

The sports specialist continues to post impressive digital audience growth with breakfast hosts Garry and Tim having the most second most-downloaded breakfast podcast during March, only trailing Kyle and Jackie O. On the radio survey though they were steady with a share of just over 3%. Biggest movers at the station were morning host Gerard Whateley up 0.6 to 3.8% and drive hosts Bob and Andy up 0.5 to 3.4%. The strongest demo is 45-54 with a share of 5.3%, up 2.3 this survey.

Are the ABC exempt from ratings? Surely they should make this list!

There's another 30-odd% left!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Surprised Pies with their huge membership received more than both SA clubs.

Would a Tassie team need as much as GC every year?

 

[Thetrader15]

Other than expansion clubs, 3 got more than $18m
Melbourne
Bulldogs
Brisbane

Hmmmmm

 

[Mego Red]

I get the feeling a few Vic Clubs may have been shy of getting him given he just did an ACL.

Talk was he was about to re-sign before he did his knee.

He just sounds like he's very settled.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Takes him to 6 years service… first rung of FA eligibility

Exactly what I said above, this is no win for Gold Coast, King is using them to get his rehab done.

5 years for Dan Houston?

Wow that's the type of deal we'd do

 

[George CantStandYa]

5 years for Dan Houston?

Kane must be happy

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Kane must be happy

Unsurprisingly he’s pretty chuffed. He only has an issue when other clubs offer 5 year deals to b grade players.

Surely you are taking the piss? Has he said he’s ok with it?

 

[GROTTO]

Exactly what I said above, this is no win for Gold Coast, King is using them to get his rehab done.

Exactly, ironically I said this earlier too.

Its absolutely foolish for the Suns to think this is a win of any type.

If he didnt do his ACL, he would be in Victoria at the end of this year.

Dont be surprised if he doenst play for the Suns again either. He will delay his comeback as long as possible.

has supposedly just been vaccinated with his first dose.

Considering all of his likes on twitter and how anti vaxx he is. I don't for a second believe it's real, the club has 100% paid off a doctor here to give him a placebo

 

[FAITH]

Novavax I'm sure

 

[ams4crows]

Novavax I'm sure

I wonder how Liam Jones feels right now?

That, or choosing half a mill+ $$ per year over his vaccination beliefs.

Guess he's not as rich as Novak who's able to float along waiting for the vax rules to be changed.

[ams4crows]

A dime a dozen half back? 5 year deal? Of course Kornes is ok with it if it's port
