2014 ABC TV VFL ratings..

Submitted by NorthPort on

Could someone post, or tell me where to find the TV ratings for this final series?

I was hoping to compare to some of the posted ratings of the past 2-3 years.

Saturdays Preliminary Final would have rated pretty well I thought.

Thanks Comeng.. Bloody good numbers!

Doesnt surprise me - has been a fair bit of chatter about the games at my work, so clearly some neutral interest. Fortunately both were cracking games and a great advertisment for the comp.

Great ratings and great Preliminary Finals crowds both days too.

Maybe after 20 years or so in the doldrums this competition is on the verge of getting the crowds and interest that it deserves?

Mustang I would love to agree with you but the fans only come out during September when the weather is better and the finals are on. Their have been some ordinary crowds in the home and away and even some finals crowds have not been great. Without advertising and media attention crowd numbers will be pretty much the same year in year out. Its a good product and deserves better crowds - you can have the best product in the world but if people don;t know about it then they won't purchase it.

Keep in mind those numbers don't include regional areas or anyone who recorded the game and watched it, which has become a lot more common recently.

Yep most likely closer to 100,000 with the regionals and southern NSW

The crowds at the televised finals & the ratings are hopefully attractive to a potential commercial broadcaster, if the ABC is not going to continue the broadcasts into 2015.

Let's be honest, there was no AFL on TV either afternoon. Plenty of people I know who would normally sit at home and watch the AFL put the VFL coverage on instead.
