I'm all for keeping in as a day GF but RV rules the game and no doubt they want to try a twilight soon.
So just do it. Start around 430ish finish 7ish fireworks, post game show instead of pre everyone can go to bed and get over a loss quicker

Yes the actual football is better during the day

The only good answer is whatever time allows the most people to watch.
No other argument holds any weight.

Just my opinion dazzler. Not saying anyone is going to lose sleep over it. I live in a proper city with heaps of shit to do other than footy.
With a game of that low of a contest I doubt it would have broken records.

Sorry dude, I couldn't help myself with the smart arse comment.
Maybe peak, but not average across the broadcast. A lot in Sydney would have dropped off before half time.
Very disappointing.
In saying that, we watched until the end but I imagine the casual drop off would've been significant.

Ive been to 3 AFL GFs and 2 NRL Gfs and well the night time schedule is much better. You dont know how much better it is til you go to 1 I think.

In contrast, yesterday's game was terrible on tv. The bright screen, red ball, fireworks in the day time, it's just so much poorer of a tv experience right in the middle of the day. You may say who cares, but there are 100k at the stadium, over 4 million watching on tv.

Most of those at ground have paid well for the privilige
Day time is so perfect. I’d add the following - daytime also means;
- There is half a chance the crowd does not show up to the game completely shitfaced.
- The players have plenty of time to celebrate after at the ground
- And then celebrate at their official function
- And then continue to celebrate where ever they next end up (Chapel St last night)
- And there is a good chance they can fit all of this in without the sun coming up.
- And everyone can be a part of this.

I'd keep it at the afternoon for a few reasons.
Football is ultimately about including everyone and the afternoon Grand Final does this the best. Leave it there.
- Football is much better to watch and play during the day.
- Older folks are more likely to go sleep earlier so they can watch it - this is especially big if their team hasn't made/won it in ages.
- Players that win get more time to celebrate during the day.
- Afternoon time zone is much easier to watch for folks that are abroad.
- Great time for families so they can enjoy the day, then still have enough time to go home and do everything they gotta do.
- Lowers the chance of people showing up drunk.
