Seven scores big Friday win with first AFL Final
TV ratings: Seven
The first AFL final was a very one-sided affair with Geelong unable to kick goals. Port Adelaide was far too strong and now Geelong gets a second chance next weekend. The audience turned out big time with 841,000 in metro markets – 476,000 in Melbourne, 99,000 in Perth and 177,000 in Adelaide.
The numbers were subsequently down a little for Better Homes and Gardens with 347,000.
Nine
A Current Affair had a good Friday outing with 633,000 with 259,000 of them in Melbourne.
The NRL saw Souths way too good for the Roosters with 343,000 tuning in – 221,000 in Sydney and 93,000 in Brisbane.
