Whatever they do will be half baked to at least some people, right? Do you want them spending big money on international stars or do you want them investing in grass roots?
They spend upwards of 10million on that less cringey 15mins of entertainment. Gee wonder why it's a better product.

It’s simple , no need for a show. It is a token effort which would not be missed.
Invest in grass roots footy.

I would be fine with no entertainment.
Just have a decent national anthem rendition and get on with it.

I was prepping Grammys as the SB guys were loading trucks to Miami. The AFL just does not have a clue of the $$ spent on that show. NOT A CLUE.
The Lighting left LA nearly 4 weeks before the gig - whihc means its on rent for 5 weeks for a 7 min performance.
The catering budget for the SB ( and by catering I mean Coffee and Donouts ( not meals lol) is more than the AFL spend on the entire GF week.
Dont try and compete unless they want to pump the same amount of money they've pumped into the GCS into the GF halftime show.
Just dont.

It's estimated at a bit over 10 million, so they have a clue they just have no way of getting close.

on hold for another year...
No point doing it now for no extra money (as rights already sold for whatever $ they sold for).
Why not make other finals during the day when they can? Bring back the Sunday Elimination Final and the Saturday Afternoon Semi and Prelim?
If the GF is going to stay in the arvo, just make a statement that it will never change from 230pm and be done with it... this topic is never going away otherwise, requiring the AFL to make an announcement every year.

The AFL making a statement it will never change, will not make the topic go away, and if they change their mind 5 years later, the statement will be used to beat them around the head.

For what it's worth, a few Grand Finals in the old days (I think in the '70s) started at 2:45 pm, so 2:30 pm isn't as carved in stone as some traditionalists would have us think

I look at the Superbowl and cringe at how extra their efforts are.
I can tell you the half time entertainment but can't tell you who played in the actual game. That is a problem right there. That sport requires it and the AFL doesn't.
The Killers smashing it and performing with a winning premiership player on stage afterwards is as good as it ever needs to be for the AFL. That's the blueprint of perfection and it doesn't need changing.

Finally someone who agrees with US sports and the fact the GF should be rotated between states each year. Well done to yuo.
Oh my gord, the bollocks of "tradition" gets better. 
The so-called traditional start times are nowhere near as traditional as many traditionalists would have us believe!!!
Every grand final between 1898 and 1966 started at 2:50 pm!! Between 1897 and 1920, most home and away games started at 3pm, and between 1920 and 1947, home and away games started at 2:45; after that it was changed to 2:15. Were games shorter in the old days? Shorter breaks?

Tradition = daytime RED SHERRIN footyball
Non-tradition = yellow ball night time rubbish.
This is going to sound stupid, but I never associated the different colors with day/night. Why do they change them? Surely you can see a red ball under lights? Plenty of teams wear red uniforms.
should just be white balls in every game
