THE ABC enjoyed a ratings bonanza on Saturday afternoon with more than 90,000 Melbourne viewers tuning in to watch Gold Coast debutant Karmichael Hunt face the Coburg Tigers at Craigieburn's Highgate Recreation Reserve.
The rugby league convert drew the biggest audience for a VFL game this year, with the figures nearly two-and-a-half times larger than the season average.
LEADERS BOARD
After 9 rounds old Moorabbin supporter Rick Dennis has retained his lead with 6 winners to take his tally to 49 winners for the season. Rick leads Williamstown diehard Don 'Cgull' Quayle and old Coburg Lions supporter Daniel Bourne by 2 tips who are both on 47 winners. Sitting in equal fourth spot are 'Ashtray Dave', Bananaman, Port diehard Bobby Borough, Paul Amy and Oakleigh devil fan from the old days Peter 'Willo' Williamson. Willo use to watch the likes of Keith Battersby, Ian Todd and Wes Hillard when he was cheering for the Oaks.
