The last daytime Grand Final in 2019 between Richmond and the GWS Giants (2.94m nationally).It was 4 million viewers for the day GF in 2019. They also don't seem to take into account the loss of TV viewership to online streaming.
Yeah Daytime is so much better for all involved. Ratings would be higher the last 2 years when VIC was in lockdown because of the fact no one could go out and watch it.Would prefer it to stay at 2.30pm, sad to think I might've gone to the last daytime GF. Much prefer twilight to nighttime. Would be a shame to give up the red sherrin on the last saturday in september...
One thing that hasn't been mentioned are all the festivities during the day. A 5:30pm finish avoids everyone going home around the same time too.It's reality.
We have a pisshead culture and we have a Melbourne city that's not that pretty at night with all the trash that wander about.
Families and Elderly don't want to deal with that.
People feel safer in the day and it's easier to deal with large crowds during the day.
It's Twilight Time or Night Time, we have seen the last Daytime Grand Final.
I can't believe people still pushing the afternoon grand final, the twilight is so much better on so many levels in my opinion.
How do you figure this?Think it’s definitely better for families
11am start imo.Can we go the other way and request a 2pm start? Just to really annoy the night game lovers.
How do you figure this?
I have a three year old and a three month old. A twilight game finishes about 7:30pm - meaning we likely miss a fair chunk of the end of the game with dinner time, getting the kids ready for sleep and then putting them down for the night.
A night game runs into similar problems to an extent but is actually probably better than twilight overall for this.
Afternoon game avoids all that. Easily the best option if you have children my age and are watching on TV.
We won't have the final say, the TV networks whose deal just saw $4.5 billion go into the game will make that decision. Daytime Grand Finals are now over.It's daytime. We will never see another twilight or night time grand final.

Perth’s twilight AFL grand final just over a year ago with halftime show just after sunset.
Yep twilight at metricon is the bestSaturday twilight is the best time to attend/watch football, GF or not.
Felt this way since the Hawks v Crows PF in 2012 which was unreal.
