So many people swallowing this.
1.8m is the average of the 2 hours between 12.30pm and 2.30pm. The actual Kylie performance was likely significant higher.
The comparison below is not like for like data. Its 2 hours v 9 minutes.
Kylie 1.8m avg viewers on AFL grand final pre game
Amy Shark 2.25m avg viewers on NRL grand final pre game
AFL GF 230,000 more viewers that NRL
NRL4.29 million viewers - second highest ever. 2025 top rating GF.

It's weird that this story is published with the expectation that fans who spent hundreds of dollars on tickets through the Finals and GF, and then had the entertainment debacle, would be happy about it.

Nathan Cleary has been named the Weekender's Player of the Year, taking home the Luke Priddis Medal. It's the fourth time Cleary has won the honour, and his first back-to-back win. The final Player of the Year points table will be published in Thursday's edition of Extra Time. #NRL #pantherpride #nathancleary
Idea: Craig Gower accepts the Dally M on Nathan Cleary's behalf on Wednesday night and collects his 2003 medal while he's there. Two birds, one stone. #NRL
Couldn't be prouder of the @PenrithPanthers. What they've given us over the last seven years is incredible. Today is one of the tougher ones. But others would have begged to even have the chance. A roller-coaster ride with plenty of highs. We go again.
There seems to be a lot of #NRL 'experts' that don't know we have extra time in Finals, not golden point - at least not initially.
Just an interesting note: Folks at both Fox and Nine were flabbergasted fans didn't attend the Finals in droves last week. Neither broadcaster called today's game from the ground, preferring their Sydney studios. Going to the game is expensive for everyone I guess. #NRL

🎙 Finals tickets, Panthers memberships, Preliminary Finals, Nathan Cleary's foot.... all that and more on the latest edition of our Tension's Running High podcast! Search Western Weekender wherever you listen to podcasts, or go here: bit.ly/TRH-E93.
It's baffling watching the top league journos scratching their heads trying to figure out the poor #NRL crowds from the weekend. Why won't any of them do a decent dive into ticket prices or issues with the experience? The narrative seems to be this is all fans' fault.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we say goodbye to a true country music icon, Opry member Dolly Parton.
There is no doubt Dolly’s mark on the world, and on us here at the Grand Ole Opry, will be deeply felt for generations to come. She taught us to always lead with kindness, generosity, and compassion. May her legacy live on through her songs, the lives she touched, and the countless artists she inspired. There will never, ever be another one like her.
We will always love you, Dolly. 🤍
