AFL boss addresses latest speculation about grand final

AFL boss Gillon McLachlan hasn’t shut the door on the possibility of this year’s grand final being played at night.

Speaking on 3AW, McLachlan said the commission still hadn’t decided what time the biggest game of the season would be played.

“As you know, the balance is always between tradition and best presentation and progression, and the commission has always come down on the side of tradition with the Melbourne grand finals,” he said.
