Sunset 6.14 in Perth, so an hour of 'daylight'. How's our 'twilight' record?

[Wrecker46 2,958]

I hope my daughter can stay awake for it.

I have no concerns for Nadia Bartel, she will stay awake to see it.

[In Harmes Way 7,730]

I hope this isn't the AFL trying through underhanded means to navigate to a permanent night grand final.

It just won’t feel like a GF 🙁

Been to plenty of them at the South Melbourne ground. now that was an experience, at my tender age back then, trying to go home late at night after a few beers.

They had a chance to let Perth have it at normal time and give it to us in twilight. The AFL are obsessed with pushing the night grand final and from what I saw online the reaction was overwhelmingly negative

She will be in her element into the wee hours of the morning.😂

I shall miss the Beautiful Red Sherrin.

Nobody wants a Night GF. late Lunch and watch the game…

Thanks Gillion and clear your throat before you speak

She's a sneaky chance to win the Brownlow

They're running their hands together and chortling at AFL house. And raising a glass to the pandemic. They got their night grand final by stealth, as planned, without the stealth part.

not night game, mazer, more half'n'half......like 2 separate games

make it either a day or a night game but not some stupid shandy

[Jaded No More 68,835]

I’m neither here nor there on this one, but @Demonland I’m looking for our win loss record stats in night games this year please 😂

[layzie 33,724]

I don't want to hear anymore about the AFL 'making the best of a bad situation'. This is about the 5th next best thing. 

Ah well, at least we'll get 5 extra tv viewers in Los Angeles at 2am..

[dees189227 12,361]

Ugh last year the day dragged on and if we make it this year that Saturday will feel like the longest day of our lives. I remember in 2017 going to see the storm in the nrl gf and I flew into Sydney on the day but it was just doing things during the day to keep busy and if anyone has been around the Sydney Olympic park precinct there isn't a lot to do. 

Why couldn't it start at 4:15 there time. Who acres about the news just put it on after, or why couldn't we go a day gf. I couldn't care less about the entertainment. I'd watch it night or day and I really do not care about the lights. 

I get sick of people trying to make it like the superbowl. The superbowl to me is about ads, entertainment then the game.

It would if we are there and we Win. 

[Jaded No More 68,835]

If we make it, I’ll be drunk by 1pm and will need a sobering nap to get me thru to 7pm. 

[dazzledavey36 54,093]

Not a fan of it at all.

Per my earlier post, Jaded, look at twilight record😁

[Cards13 9,117]

If we make it, I don’t like it. I’ll be stuck at home with the family and won’t really be able to get into it with a 3yr old and a 6yr old in bed by the first qrt.

I hear ya re the lights - the way they carry it's like they only just got electricity. The roar of the crowd and the colour and passion of the fans is better than some computer program.

Our last 'grand final' win was at night, WCW, and boy did that feel like a grand final win for the success starved!

Getting ahead of myself though...

10-1-1.

Loss against Dogs in round 19

Draw against Hawthorn in round 18

1 loss in the 1:45 slot (GWS)

1 loss in the 3:20 slot (Collingwood)

1 loss in the 4:40 slot (Adelaide)

I’ll get back to you on how our record is in Perth grand finals, specifically the 5:10pm WST time slot.
