The idea of the game being played at stadiums aside from the G is a no from me, but am open to a night GF.

FWIW - Think they will go with twilight GF myself. So that the last half is under lights, and they can go with the fireworks as the finale in the dark.

So long as the game is at the G..... it does not worry me at all.

It practically is, isn't it?

Went to the Hawthorn vs Port prelim a few years ago, it was perfect timing, I left home at around 4am, drove to the hotel, went to the pub for a couple and then the game, was early enough to not have a billion drunk idiots around but dark enough for fireworks, it was a real buzz around the place as we walked back to the hotel.

GF starts at 2.30pm EST.

A 3.45pm start (or thereabouts) would achieve darkness for fireworks as the winning do the lap etc....

As I'm not a moth I'm not excited by fireworks.

Day GF is perfect... No reason to move it...

Massive NO from me

I am only saying what I think the AFL will do. I couldn't care less about Fireworks.

Perhaps Lightning is smashed by the time the match starts, and has lost all track of reality and time....???

I thought I asked this question a couple of weeks ago on here and was told it was earlier this year after a bit of a debate?

No chance of that, I'll probably open up the account around 1ish, got a spit happening that should be ready around 2:30ish.

I usually start kicking with the breeze in the last.

I don't really care if they play it at night but twilight sport sucks IMO. Start the game either before 3.00 or after 7.00 thanks.
