    Night time finals and home and away games I’m absolutely fine with but not for the Grand Final.

    Some players had a fair point - less time to celebrate if you win.

    I don't get this - less time until when? The next season? The players have no trouble celebrating continuously for the next few days, and I am pretty sure the club celebrated 2016 well into the 2017 season.

    The main reason I am in favour of starting the Grand Final latter in the day eg around 5pm is that these days Saturday is a normal working day for a lot of society, and even if people aren't working, it gives them more time to organize their day around the game.

    Traditionalist. Keep it the same. With so many other things changing for the sake of it let's keep the Grand Final at 2.30pm. I haven't seen one argument to convince me otherwise.
