ANALYSIS: AFL night grand final shows anything is possible
Whether you're a fan of the afternoon slot or not, the argument in favour of tradition that goes: "that's how we've always done it" is about the weakest available.
This year has proven that anything is possible. It turns out you don't have to have a full fixture scheduled months in advance of the season, you can do it week to week. The question that will hang around next year, is that now that the mould has been broken, will night grand finals become a regular fixture — even if AFL life returns to some kind of normal?"Clearly people will have a look at it, and it won't be so foreign I'm sure and you'll debate it on its merits afterwards," he said.
