For all the talk of the NRL’s TV ‘dominance’, the AFL is still leading the prime time head to head battle YTD

Hawks got served the biggest piece of humble pie I've seen last night.
The arrogance at half time was as high as I've seen.
One of the biggest bed shittings I've seen in a while and I have watched every Carlton game this year.

[Hugeo Edickete FPL @analysis_dept]

Watson talking shit and telling the bulldogs to "walk the walk" at half time and proceeding to completely shit the bed in the second half is incredibly therapeutic

Nick Watson at half-time to Ben Dixon: “I don’t care if he talks (Sellwood) I’d like to see him walk the walk.”

Nick Watson - 2 disposals and goalless in the second half.

NRLW Origin is Nine exclusive. The ratings were excellent. Be happy with that, my friends.

Re some of the current commentary: It is worth noting that the FTA ratings for NRLW Origin, will not have eclipsed the FTA/Fox/Kayo ratings for the AFL last night.

Your reminder that Geelong, which has played in 14 of the last 19 preliminary finals, is into third position on the ladder. It has only Tyson Stengle out of its best side. And has 10 of its last 13 games in Victoria. Six of them at GMHBA Stadium, where it has won the last eight games. And has Carlton, Essendon, Richmond in that run.

That Anthony Albanese address to the nation felt extremely unnecessary. I was expecting something far more serious than bland platitudes of ‘Aussie-ness’ and ‘hey, we’ve cut the excise and maybe try taking the train’. What a waste of everyone’s time.

@analyticflying @shriramkenny Hallelujah

[Dean @deanalep]

@shriramkenny @analyticflying Lack of recent investment into MEL by QF will be the reason it fails, and they’ll scale back frequency accordingly from potentially a stronger starting point

Mind you they’ll cut QF9/10 too when this does happen - if it is coming back 😂

[Dean @deanalep]

@shriramkenny @analyticflying X5 weekly LHR and x3 weekly JFK at absolute best is my tip…

[Dean @deanalep]

@analyticflying @shriramkenny Especially given over a decade ago MEL had up to x2 daily 747s (and 380s) with full cabin service to each LHR/ LAX

[Dean @deanalep]

@analyticflying @shriramkenny Absolute minimum standards hopefully returning. Insanity that a city with the size/ status like MEL doesn’t have a direct service from the flag carrier - yes I know the (poor) transfer options exist but it’s beyond the point

[Dean @deanalep]

@analyticflying Now no A380 service (therefore no F) from MEL is insanity. Now no direct F option to Europe/ US with the “flag carrier”. How can they not find a way to upgrade at least 1 of the 2 SIN A330 services to an A380 which would at least allow F&W pax to transfer to QF1/2? Air Syd again

[Dean @deanalep]

@shriramkenny @analyticflying I don’t think this is confirmed?
