Wouldn't mind a 4.45 start. What an atmosphere tonight. Next year's Grand Final will be on Oct 3 which mean the AFL can trial a twilight decider.
Also have a poll to see what BF readers say.

I like it, but I can't see the AFL ever deviating away from the traditional format
* no. Apart from anything else, I forgot it was on at such a dumb time and missed the first half.
And they said the crowd was around 74000. Normally Prelims are a full house.
Unless Collingwood is playing, I will not watch a night or twilight Grand Final on principle.

I think that says more about you than it does about the time slot.

I would prefer a twilight GF to a night GF.

i thought it was weird. proper nighttime or preferably during the day. the look of the grand final being played in the bright sun is so much better than under the lights

Personally hate this time slot
The half light/half dark look is shithouse, you get no sun on the ground and no atmosphere of a night game
Either day or night, going in between is like ******* your sister

Same I think we have to admit the Grand Final timeslot will be trialed at some stage so might as well ease into with a twilight slot. The night grand final wouldn't seem right finishing up with speeches/cup on podium happening at 10 30pm too late

Just take a bite
No thankyou, we get enough TV dictated 'innovation' in the fixture already.

It would make the day too long for MCC members.
Lets make it a 9am start. All over by lunchtime, and the festivities can commence post game so bbq s and drinks etc dont get in the way of watching the game.
Plus the kids can watch it!

I knew, but I forgot and was sorta cruising along assuming I'd watch it at 7.30 like a normal big game.

perfect for all of the time zones
Would be good for WA viewers.
Would not be against a twilight or night GF. Will happen one day, it's inevitable.
A night GF at 6:10pm would work.

I like the fact you can make a whole day out of Grand Final day.

I'm in the No, definitely not camp. The Rugby League went to an evening Grand Final and it's bogus. Traditional 2pm grand final is worth a lot.
Sunday Night is a little different to Saturday Night.
Even a lot of NFL fans in the States are bit over the Sunday Night Super Bowl, having to juggle it with work commitments the next day, and want it moved to Saturday Night.
