Wookie's summary of TV ratings for rd 12 and for the season to date:

The AFL rated 4.17 million for Round 12, with 2.767 million on Free to air (4 games nationally) and 1.410 million on Foxfooty (7 games).   All 7 games for the round were broadcast in at least one free to air market.

The highest rating AFL game on free to air television this round was the Queens Birthday clash between Collingwood and Melbourne which rated 704,000 - 557,000 in Metro markets and 147,000 in the regions. Thursday, Friday and Saturday night coverage all rated over 600,000.

Over on Fox, Foxfooty was rated the number 2 channel by ASTRA, falling behind Foxleague for the first time in 9 weeks and for the third time this season. The highest rating AFL game on Foxfooty was also the Queens Birthday clash with 264,000 viewers nationally, closely followed by the Blues v GWS match at 254,000.

For the season, the AFL ratings have topped 54 million (33 million FTA) with increases in all metro markets except Sydney and Perth. Sydney is perhaps reflecting the inconsistent performance of the Swans where the average is down -13% to 28,000 per match. Melbourne is up 6% to 297,000 per match, being a beneficiary of dropping low rating Saturday afternoon coverage. Brisbane is in something of a renaissance, up 26% to 27,000 per game. Adelaides ratings are up with their teams, increasing 20% to 117,000 per game, while in Perth the trials of Fremantle are proving detrimental to audiences, down -4% to 94,000 per match. Overall the metro audiences are up 14% to 294,000 per game on the same time in 2016.

Regional audiences are harder to quantify due to inconsistent data reporting prior to this year, however we believe that AFL regional ratings are up around 8% based on estimates used for 2016.

Over on Pay TV, the average audience is up 1% to 196,000. Sydney audiences rating an average of 16,000, Melbourne 86,000, Brisbane 13,000, Adelaide 21,000 and Perth 28,000. Metro Audiences rate an average of 164,000, while regionals average 43,000.

End of R12 of AFL 2017, Average crowds up 3.47% to 35,143. Aggregate down -4.19% to 3.514m (8 games less than 2016)

What's going on in Brisbane?
I know the AFL has some off season reshuffling in the board to try and assist the club and turn the wheel so to speak.
Isn't the club bleeding $5m+ per season?
I don't know what their average crowd is this season but if it's down 13% it must be a huge concern. I was shocked at how poor their attendances were last year.
Getting 11,500 on Saturday must be a real concern for those at AFLHQ.
