Saturday’s AFL Grand Final dominated the Saturday TV ratings, pulling in 2.601m metro viewers for the West Coast vs Collingwood match and 2.632m for the post match presentations. Across the entire country, the match pulled in 3.378m viewers.

Of that audience, 1.247m came from Melbourne, compared to just 345,000 in Sydney, and 247,000 in Adelaide. Unsurprisingly, Perth pulled in the second biggest audience for the match, with 471,000 metro viewers.

The Grand Final also helped Seven to a weekly win, with its main channel pulling in 20.7% of the audience for the week.
