    -dagger is right with the people will be way too drunk by the time the game starts
    -what about the post match celebrations? game starts at say 7. Finishes at 930-10. Wheres the after party at punt road/fed square? wont be untill at least midnight if they were to even have one.
    - Dont you love the perfect days of weather for the grand final, sunny and not a cloud in the sky? Just perfection, why fuck with it?

    Nothing is wrong with a day grand final. Why the fuck do you need to change it?... Because everyone else is? So much for being such a unique sport... Fuck you eddie you cunt. To me one of the best things about the grand final is entering the last quarter... The sun is slowly disappearing, lights may come on as and it just signifies the end of the season. It will just seem to plastic at night.
    This.

    Friday Night games are regarded as the primetime slot so why is the biggest game played in the day time?

    You really want to wait an extra 6 or so hours for the game? I guess when you're too young to drink you don't see the problem there.

    Totally against it. Having both prelims at night is fine but not the GF. Nothing better than seeing your team lifting the cup in the air while the sun is setting.

    I'm not really advocating a night GF, just don't see the reason everyone is vehemently against it.

    Only are because it is the only stand alone game each round (excluding rounds that have Thursday games / ANZAC day etc) so if you want to watch football that is the game you have to watch. The Grand Final is stand alone whenever it is played. I'm going to assume you are smart enough to not be saying they should play it on a Friday night.

    I reckon night games are a greater spectacle.

    Don't know why most are so against it.

    Agree that night time games aren't as good as day time games and I don't really want to see a night GF but it's not like they are planning to play it at Ethiad.

    A resounding no from me, we've fucked up our game too much as it is.

    What benefits does a night Grand Final bring though?

    I couldn't give a stuff about the pre-game entertainment and I don't know anyone who does. Just because other codes have found it a success it doesn't mean we have to. I'm pleased to hear AD is a fan of the daytime GF, there's no doubt it will happen one day but I would like to procrastinate the inevitable as much as we can.
