The Adelaide Crows featured in some of the most viewed AFL games of the season, including the grand final, which was seen by more people than the Australian Open men’s tennis singles final and the rugby league state of origin.

The GF was watched by 3.562 million people, out rating many of the country’s favourite shows, including The Block, Ninja Warrior and My Kitchen Rules.

Adelaide also played in two of the three highest rating home and away games — Round 22, Adelaide v Sydney (1.393 million) and Round 11, Geelong v Adelaide (1.251 million).
