Is it sinking in about now a night GF was only ever a good idea in the minds of TV executives scrambling for a few more thousand viewers, and "event" types who don't give a shit about the game & will probably talk more about the entertainment? Both can FRO.

Gee getting stuck into something that hasn’t even happened yet? Traditionalists turning in their graves. Gimme a break. It’s no longer the VFL it’s national so let’s see what it’s like first as it’s unlikely to be repeated
@rohan_connolly
Totally agree, there is no prematch build up or vibe going around. Give me a couple drinks at the corner just before the 2.30 bounce anytime and Keep the night finals to prelims.
@rohan_connolly
First & last night GF for many decades I'd say. Tradition is important.
Saw there's torrential rain in Brisbane right now & it's due to get worse. Always that risk when you play in late October in a state that experiences tropical weather.
Geelong to get up in a close one.

It’s a good point - what makes grand final day different? The lead in and build up. The AFL long gave away the actual on field lead in - abandoning precursor games. This has been replaced with club functions/ breakfasts / lunches / longest kick to form a new tradition.

I am bored!!! I long for the days of Nth Melb GF Breakfast, Under19s GF, Reserves GF and then the big game. And don’t forget the Marathon the night before.
@rohan_connolly
The AFL need to remember nearly every member stayed with their club this year and didn't ask for $$ back. This loyalty should not be taken for granted when the GF comes around next year.
@rohan_connolly
In what world does a night grand final get more viewers?? If you’re not watching it by now you’re not tuning in now just because it’s an evening affair.
