The return of AFL to Seven has rarely been more necessary for Seven after 5 weeks of second place to Nine.
It was a strong season opener for the code at 739,000 metro viewers and pushed the network to within striking distance of snatching the week.
Ultimately Nine prevailed, with Married at First Sight locked down as the top 4 rankings of the week.
The Australian Grand Prix boosted 10’s Sunday but it again finished fourth behind ABC.

Males or females watching all this AFL?? I keep hearing that women are all the viewers simply because they like looking at “handsome young men” in uniform.
The womens AFL is going strong. I’m sure some females (and males) like looking at the men, but most just enjoy watching the game.
