Swap every year between a day and night grand final.

Have both bring back the night series

So aflw grand final is new. Why isn’t That a night game?

The world doesn't revolve around television executives and Eddie.

The rhythm of the day as it stands can't be beat.

Hmm.

Angry Anderson at AFL park

Meatloaf at the MCG

Septuagenerian Kizz at the MCG

To be fair the day could probably try something a little bit different, if only to improve the music.

I think we all need to be prepared for a switch to 5:15pm in a couple of years.

They’re already softening us up for it. Guys like Barrett are AFL mouthpieces. It’s going in to public domain now so get people used to the idea.

The grand final is such a part of the fabric of the Australian sporting landscape that people make plans around it. It's not just a game. I understand that some people need to work on a Saturday arvo, but the same can be said for any time of any day.

So yeah, may as well move it to a twilight slot then.

230 start time is the right time.
It let's the cafes get the early rush. Restaurants afterwards.
Pubs get good business.

Later start time gives idiots more time to get drunk and cause issues

Nsw pubs saw a dramatic downturn when the nrl grandfather moved times
The only reason to have it later is you get more unique viewers on TV- ad revenue/ads pace gets a price rise (pretty sure I've posted that before)

It should be the latest they can do it with a red footy

The latest they can do with a red footy is 3pm

Meatloaf at night is still Meatloaf.

Its a losing battle.. it will eventually go to a twilight time slot of 5:15pm. 2:30pm is perfect. just wish they would keep at least one tradtion in the game
