2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012 were all thrillers. 2001, 2008, 2011 and 2016 were captivating as well.
Not bad given four of the last five have been s**t spectacles.

Is this what the pro-dayers are down to? Outright lies?
Don't see why a twilight prelim couldn't be used as a big TV event with no soul
They haven’t since they went back to the night time slot

why is it outright lies? The nrl haven’t beaten the afl gf since they went back to the night time slot. Let me guess you in the pro twilight/night camp because the entertainment would be great and because the nfl has the super bowl at night?
Look it up

You cant read can you....
Ive never said the night NRL has out rated the AFL.
What im saying is the night GF NRL outrates day GF NRL
Just like i think the night/twilight AFL GF will outrate the day AFL GF.
Clear now?

leave it as is
It comes down to unique viewers.
The same amount are watching, but it goes from a community type event where you’ll watch at a party/barbecue/pub, to watching it at home. The league prefers the latter, as it means people are more likely to be watching the commercials, which means they can charge a premium for that space

Theres no evidence of that. The only evidence so far that can be used is taken from the NRL and that is more people watch the night/twilight than the day
Any proof of it not being a community event at 5? I watched many a rugby league GF at night with a large group after having a bbq.

Just make it a night game already. The atmosphere would be sensational. Nothing better than seeing the G lit up like a cauldron against a dark sky.
Plus, the use of lighting, being able to turn off the lights and have a spot light for the the teams run out, and the use of fireworks would make it an ocular orgasm.
Make it happen Gil.

Heaven forbid the Grand Final be about the actual game rather than the lights or halftime show or the television coverage or longer time to get pissed beforehand or any of the other nonsense reasons for moving it.

Yes, because it means you can do things earlier in the day, plus after the game

More "fans" wont watch it. A few more casual observers flicking around with the remote will watch some of it before changing over to the latest idiotic reality show.
For this couple of ratings points we should change our games greatest event to a slippery contest in the dark apparently.
Yeah just like all the other finals we play at night and nobody complains about.

Evidence says otherwise.
And fans who work during the day.
And as for casuals then why not? Brings more fans to the game.
We keep the grand final of a national comp at the MCG because Victorians keep telling us more fans can watch the game live.
Why not the same rule for tv ratings?
Or doesnt that fit the insular narrative?

I read somewhere it could accommodate a 29 minute half- time. Unfortunately that's as far into the article I got. Would be great, enough time to bring back each Australian idol winner and they could each sing their winning song, followed by a quick group rendition of Tie me kangaroo down sport!
The game doesn’t need extra stuff certainly doesn’t need entertainment. The game is the entertainment. They have a big show at the super bowl to keep the fans entertained as the game goes for more than 4 hours
This 29 minute half time for essentially what will be our version of half time entertainment. isn’t really needed
They want to copy everything the nfl does and this is why they want to move it to twilight/night. There really isn’t anything wrong with our current time slot and the way the day is run. You have a concert at the end of the day. We’ll have time outs soon
