+x+x+xLook, the Final was a train wreck. People can talk up the attendance all they like, but it was horrible. The ratings were clearly an embarrassment. I'm sick of the bullshit. This was a game involving one club that is only in the competition because of the a deception that should see it expelled and another that ahs never managed to build any commercially sustainable support base. We're at NSL level attendances and most of football has been of a depressingly low standard. The APL had better have some mammoth sized rabbits to pull out of their hats next season to save this show. Let's hope that next season the APL stands revealed as the proactive leaders the game desperately needs. Instead of the quivering mice so far revealed. Yet both teams were the best of the lot. Embrace the Champions, chump change. You're sounding like the other bloke. FA nearly destroyed football by Postponing so many of those matches, even when teams only had 4-5 players out through covid, they asked for a postponement, ALP gave it to them Immediately, to the APL's detriment. Club saw this, then took advantage and wanted matches postponed regularly because it suited them to play next time, when a team can field all their best players at a later date, by having postponements, even if it meant no content on t.v. for viewers to watch any matches.This Selfish attitude by Team Owners meant that quickly the Ratings plunged further and further, viewers lost track of matches. The Semis and Grand Final Never really stood a chance for any ratings. Ameteurs running football had to learn on the run how to Not Destroy the professional football code in Australia. There was that one occasion though, late in the season where Newcastle Jets wanted a match postponed against Sydney fc but finally, the Apl grew a set and notified them if that happens again, the match will just be abandoned and no points to be earned for the premiership table. No more Postponing for covid bullshit. Guess what Suddenly happened,,,,, the match was played shock horror! Therefore, suck shit Jets. You won the match anyway, with Goodwin scoring twice. Learn to trust your depth alittle more Papas. I don’t think Covid was ‘bullshit’ as you so eloquently put it, in fact it is still very real and still making many people sick. No, Covid was not Bullshit but the APL using that reason to Postpone to an Epidemic fashion was, as I eloquently put it,' Bullshit!' Clubs pretending to have almost all their players infected when all the while 2-4 players might have been. Unless there are legitimate doctors certificates posted on a website, I will never believe the clubs in a pink fit. These are the the entities that the FA have Entrusted to make decisions with, such as to accept the NSD to run alongside with their APL. All the best to JJ in dealing with GREEDY CLUB OWNERS. Heaven forbid Pro/Rel ever gets mentioned. May not see the NSD at all in reality, or the Transfer Fees as well, if the APL are Not brought into line, so they do not continue to disrupt and agitate the process.

Channel 10 boss finally acknowledges shocking ratings for A-League after the network paid millions for exclusive free-to-air rights
Channel 10's top executive has expressed her disappointment at the ratings for the A-League after the network paid $200million for free-to-air rights a year ago. According to OzTam ratings, the Saturday night soccer game featured on Channel 10's main channel, has attracted just 86,000 viewers on average and declined throughout the season. Beverley McGarvey, the Executive Vice President of Paramount Australia, told TV Tonight she had not been 'loving Sunday mornings' after looking at Saturday's overnight viewing figures for the network.
The A-League's finals even failed to attract viewers. The clash between Western United and Wellington Phoenix in May drew fewer viewers than 10's own 10 peach and 10 bold. McGarvey said it was early days for the five-year contract with the A-League.

Its always good to see a persons statement put in its context:-
"McGarvey also maintains that A-League has a been a good driver for Paramount+ subscriptions, but on Free to Air it’s been a modest first season."
Is the plan to stay the long haul in the hope it builds?
“I think that’s absolutely true. We would prefer the ratings to be larger, but obviously the Men’s grand final was at the weekend and it’s up year on year, compared to where it was. We didn’t have it last year, but it has grown. So the reach has grown. I think we are starting to see green shoots already,” she continued.
“We have talked about it being a great success for Paramount+ class and the A-League fans are really committed. They watch a lot of it.“But it’s been one year, it’s a long deal. They’ve rescheduled 88 games, which meant that we were playing games on a Tuesday not in the venue that we wanted. So it’s been hard. And despite all of that we’ve had a solid start… great on streaming. But we’ve got growth that we need to happen in front of the paywall, and now that we’ve had the men’s final, we’ll sit down with the team now and go how do we grow it next year? You’re always in for the long haul with those sorts of things.
”And hopefully next season will see the game build from some very grim Free to Air numbers on Saturday night."
“That’s fair. Dan (Monaghan) and I haven’t been loving Sunday mornings….”

More of a warning shot aimed at the APL, who need too start performing.

Just reinforces the point that people havent forgotten where channel 10 is and that FTA isnt a dead medium If the football event is interesting enough, people can and will watch it. I suspect those ratings would have been higher as they were averaged out over the full game but most people would have watched extra time and the penalties The interest in our game has always been there, but the interest in the Australian game, particularly the week in / week out stuff has always been a different problem

Perhaps only the top 11 qualify for the next stage ?

Still reading reports about the AFL in the mix for a big 5 year deal with Paramount/Ten, worth $600 million per annum. https://tvtonight.com.au/2022/07/report-10-bids-3b-for-afl-rights.html10 has bid a record $3b for AFL rights according to a media report. The Australian reports 10 is understood to have told AFL executives it would be keen to have all the rights, including digital rights, telecasting some matches on its main free-to-air channel and the remainder on Paramount+ streaming. Incumbents Foxtel and Seven are still considered favourites to maintain their package of rights, but the AFL hopes the 10 offer, which sources say is worth $600m annually over at least five years, will ignite a bidding war. Foxtel and Seven had previously clinched a record $2.508bn deal with the AFL for six years from 2017, though the terms for Covid-affected years were later reduced when the pandemic hit.

The lack of numbers watching back that up. You just need to look back through this thread to see we were hitting 100k regularly. Now it's not even in the top 20.

There's probably a fair bit of truth in this. Fox/Kayo currently in about 30% of households. Paramount? I don't know, maybe 5% of households? Also, Ten is currently almost rock bottom as far as FTA channels go, so for them, it's clearly a make or break decision: get the AFL at all costs, or pack it in.
