Bit of a story in the herald today to say that we were runing last in the ratings for a while on Friday night, but kicked in with a peak of 390,000 once the league finished (only 20,000 less than league had).

I find it odd that we can get such great crowds, quite often more than all the Sydney league games combined, and even back in the late 90's more than all league games, yet it doesnt translate into TV ratings.

Going to Friday for the first time, would be a hard ask especially as its a league tradition. I think we need to make Saturday night an AFL tradition. Every sat night televised, and all our finals on Saturday night.

But saying that, our 150K average for Saturday nights is only marginally behind the NRL footy show average.
