Seven’s AFL Grand Final pulled the biggest audience of the year, with 3.04m watching the Western Bulldogs defeat Sydney and up to 3.12m watching the Presentation.
Of course outside of primetime, it doesn’t factor into Seven’s annual share. But Seven still won the week.

In terms of numbers, the best case scenario for the Grand Final is any Melbourne-based team (except Collingwood) against a NSW or QLD-based team, as happened this year. That puts nearly the whole country in front of the TV.
Interesting to note that Seven has two of the more high profile sports events (AFL and Melbourne Cup) and both are shown outside primetime. I suppose they still generate some sort of revenue even though not counted toward the ratings report.
Amazing how Seven still win every year, despite their biggest program (the AFL Grand Final) being in the afternoon.
Certainly gives them massive sales revenue & bragging rights though.
