By last Thursday Nine network was leading the week in Total People, but on Friday an AFL match between Adelaide & Geelong hooked 1.06m viewers -giving Seven a whopping 41.7% network share.
On Saturday another 1.1m watched Richmond won against Greater Western Sydney. They were enough for Seven to claim the week in network share.
But Nine held firm in both Primary channels and Demos.
Despite interest in The Bachelorette, TEN’s overall week was not an improvement on the preceding one.

Amazing performance by 9’s main channel in a week when 7 would be expected to totally dominate due to them having the AFL finals.
That’s a ridiculous comment, considering the AFL Finals were on two nights.
Nine were dominating with The Block, but then Seven overtook.
Fair and square win to Seven, Sunny.
Chill. Readers are allowed to take a view other than devotion to Seven / AFL.
Far from a ridiculous comment but a factual one. Nine’s main channel on 22.0 and Seven 20.7. A fair and square win to Nine, Sully. The comment stands.
Don’t forget that 9 actually had 2 full finals in prime-time, whereas 7 only had 1.5 with the Richmond vs GWS game beginning at 4:45pm.
