Autopsy Today has shown a twilight GF would be great.

Having extended breaks between each quarter would solve all this nonsense.

First bounce at noon - Diehard fans will be there but most will still be getting to the game. Would ease congestion around the ground as everyone won't be trying to jam in at the same time like barbarics.

Then an extended break for beer, lunch and general chatter. Those who are hosting the day at their place will have ample time to fire up the BBQ.

2nd quarter at 2:30. Traditionalists will be kept happy as they still have something starting at the usual time.

Half time show 3 till 5.

3rd quarter at 5:15pm. The twilightists also get their way. Quarter starts in the glow of a beautiful sunset and by its end the cool evening will be upon us.

Then the dinner break. Ample time for people at the game to go down Lygon Street for a pizza or nick down to the Lobster Cave in Beaumaris for a 5 course seafood banquet.

Last quarter at 8:40pm. The nighters also get their way. Players run out to fireworks. The AFL is happy as they get their night sky specticle.

This is the only way to please everyone, and quite frankly the only way forward.

Last night we had friends over for dinner. The TV was on in the background and it barely got a look in between cooking dinner, kids baths, kids bedtime ect.

Sure if my team was playing I'd make more effort but I feel the TV ratings for this time slot are not genuine because many people just have the TV on and not watching. Purely because of being after the typical lunch or dinner time the 2:30 or 7:50 games are perfect for uninterrupted viewing.

Today's game showed why a twilight grand final would suck. Was horrible waiting around all day for the game to start.

It was absolute torture, I've no idea how I could get through it if next week started at 5pm.
