If there was some other reason to keep that tradition that would be fine but I can’t think of one. So I don’t really feel strongly about a timeslot. If it’s a twilight or night grand final it will still be the same game


**** that. Sitting around all day waiting for the game to start would suck balls.

Grand final day is one of the few days where it’s acceptable to get on it before midday. Would this change? If so I change my opinion from above :)

4.40pm is the norm but I think the AFL are eventually wanting a start after 5.00pm.

They would like a half time show after the sun has gone down.

The later the better. Things always get a bit boring after the final siren so the longer they can delay that the better.
