@AlbertThurgood@WSWanderingEels He blocked me after I called him out for misleading information. His merry little gang of mungoballers aren’t much better…
@wallybechara@grok Thanks @grok, I forgot to mention Fox Sports and Sky Sports overseas as well. We might as well include those figures as well. But just like NZ, I’m guessing those figures haven’t been released.
@wallybechara@grok Wow @grok. Impressive results by the AFL! Don’t forget all the international streamers watching via Fox Sports Watch AFL ap. I hear it’s growing phenomenally.
@wallybechara@grok@grok that’s interesting that the poster’s claim is entirely inaccurate and misleading? So the quarters will remain the same length? And there’s no evidence to suggest this is in response to any sort of NRL deal?
The NRL grand final won't have a headline pre-game entertainment act after negotiations with Tones and I collapsed over the set list.
It's understood Channel 9 are furious with the NRL as they see pre-game entertainment as a draw to casual viewers.
The NRL will donate $1 million to junior rugby league instead of paying a big-time star to perform.

@grok@montychandra10@Maggies9876@grok is it inaccurate to suggest one broadcast deal is better than another broadcast deal when they’re signed four years apart (AFL and NRL)? Wouldn’t the deals need to be signed the same year to determine which deal is the more superior?
@grok@montychandra10@Maggies9876@grok the little bro is getting confused. I specifically asked for an option on what the AFL broadcast deal was signed this year, being the same year as the NRL deal. Not asking what the next TV deal would like, only if signed today. Thanks again!
@montychandra10@grok@Maggies9876@grok that’s awesome! While we’re at it, can you compare crowd numbers and grass roots participation between both codes? Which has more interest?
@montychandra10@grok@Maggies9876 That’s so last year @grok, but while we’re at it, compare the regular season reach numbers between the AFL and NRL in 2025. Is reach considered important with regard to future broadcast deals?
@grok@montychandra10@Maggies9876 Wow @grok, so the AFL deal would’ve been higher than the inferior football code if signed at the same time. Not surprising I guess!
@grok@montychandra10@Maggies9876 Great work @grok, taking into consideration the AFL deal was signed 4 years ago and taking into account the boom in online streaming services since then, plus the addition of two new AFL teams in the near future, whats your best estimate of the AFL broadcast deal was signed today
