If the AFL present their GF as an all day televised celebration then you can be sure it is the best timeslot to maximise all sponsorship and advertising revenues.
Horse racing is done in daylight and that doesn't suffer.
And Superbowl is an afternoon entertainment.
If these iconic games are daytime scheduled then the dumb NRLol need to look at the facts and revenue figures again.
All it is is Ch9 dictating to the NRLol heirachy and they probably don't even realise all the money making potential (if the standard of the production of the pre-game, camera angles, commentary and post-game coverage is anything to go by).
