The AFL Brownlow Medal will draw a big win to Channel Seven.
Brownlow Medal - 558k (Melb, Ade) + 145k (7mate - SYD, BNE and Per).
The count - 1 million (Melbourne, Adelaide And perth) + 84000 (7mate Sydney and BNE)
The Block - 1.04m
Australian Survivor - 622k
HYBPA - 705k
I donât understand why the Brownlow Medal draws such huge crowds, the count is boring as all get out. Like of course Iâll tune-in parts and always try to see the winner and yes when itâs close, remaining rounds (30min or more) can be like a game, edge of your seat. But itâs like Seven get a default audience glued annually. I mean how many watch Dally M on Fox?

Could tonight be the last time we see both AFL and NRL Footy Shows? Regardless I think both Grand Final shows will do well. Having lost to The Front Bar in Melbourne on almost every week they went head to head, the AFL Footy Show (with a one hour head start) will win tonight and Nine should win the night overall as well. In Melbourne, Footy Show will get 330,000 and The Front Bar 290,000.

Last year, the AFL Grand Final had an average five-city audience of 2.68 million (1.277 million in Melbourne) with Richmond playing. This year another team with a large following, Collingwood, will be playing, but I think the Melbourne will struggle to reach 1 million as there is little excitement for todayâs decider. The Perth audience however will be huge.
Seven will dominate day and night with the womenâs Twenty20 cricket pulling a decent audience.

With the presence of 9Now live streaming to take a few viewers away from Nineâs terrestrial broadcasts (& Pay TV retransmissions of said services) of the match, no Queensland team and no âunderdogâ team the casual viewer can really get behind (even last year the Cowboys couldâve be seen as one), Iâd be willing to predict that tomorrow nightâs audience figures for the 2018 NRL Grand Final is going to be considerably down on previous years. Iâd even go as far as saying that the Sydney figures might only be around the 850k-ish mark which of course wouldnât be bad for this day and age by any means, but nowhere near the 1 million+ ratings weâve seen for recent Grand Finals like 2014 and 2016.
Roosters v StormâŚarguably this is going to be seen as âelitistâ and a Grand Final thatâs ânot for the true fan of the gameâ given that the teams playing are based in two regions (inner-city Sydney and Melbourne) which probably couldnât care less about rugby league and seem to be despised outside of their respective fan bases, while quite a significant chunk of those who do follow the game of rugby league live in more âworking classâ locations such as Western Sydney & Brisbane + regional NSW/Queensland.
Strewth! Imagine if Storm werenât playing to then, boosting Melbourneâs audience!

Based on the comments by SydneyCityTV and Chuck in the NRL thread, this could be the lowest rating NRL Grand Final since OzTAM ratings began in 2001. While Nine will still win the night comfortably, the metro audience may struggle to hit 2 million.

Channel Nine will storm home with a win thanks to NRLGF.
Sunday NRL Footy Show - 0.22m
WOmenâs NRLGF - 456k (including on 9gem)
Intrust Super Championship - 534k (incluiding on 9Gem)

My prediction for the metropolitan ratings of the 2018 NRL Grand Final? 1.94 million (Sydney 830k, Melbourne 450k, Brisbane 500k, Adelaide 70k, Perth 90k)
Even though the Storm are playing and many locals (especially Collingwood fans 
) will likely want something to take their minds off losing the AFL Grand Final to Perth yesterday, I just canât see half a million viewers in Melbourne watching the NRL Grand Final this year. Speaking of Perth, Iâd imagine the ratings in that market for the NRL Grand Final will also likely be down on last year as the city naturally gets swept into the excitement of âEagle Feverâ.
This will be the first time for many years that daylight saving time hasnât been in effect for the NRL GF which may have an effect especially in Queensland where the coverage starts one hour later and is fully in prime time.

Iâll be surprised if it doesnât at least hit 2m, probably 2.1m or so Iâll say. Melbourne will be well down, Sydney should be up a bit.
