Hey, we're sticking with the day gram final. Yeah, well done. No, I'm, I'm, look, I've, I'm born and bred on day gram finals, you know, I loved it. But not again to the night gram final. I'm a product of working in the media, the night gram final, the build up to the whole thing. So I'm happy to go with the populace. If you want to stick with that, then no, no criticism from me. You get Kylie Minogue. I think that's been well received. I think tourists, my off-sider would say, yet thumbs up, we are not envious, but supportive of your decision. We think that's a great shout. So you're getting cute, us there. I, I think I love tradition, Jared, you know? So while I embrace the night gram final, we've mucked around with times I add heart. I'm a traditionalist. I say, good luck to you, day gram final. So when you moved from a day gram final to a night gram final, did you think something was lost or something was gained? I think from a football element, we brought into the fact you on the grass.

So that could change the football. People like Matthew John's great analyst just love daytime football and think, you know, you get to the first weekend in October, you don't want any adverse conditions at all. But then again, I've watched grand finals back in the day, 1987 grand final. I think it was about 36 degrees. You simply played camp rate, you know? Like, and we have tinkered, honestly, we've given everything a crack. We have had twilight grand finals and we've worked around the television broadcaster and all the rest. We settle on a night, I've got no dramas with a night-time grand final. But if the NRL are that's tomorrow, we're going back to a daytime grand final, I would have no dramas with that either. You know, biggest day of the year, either way. And if you want to watch it, it's, it ain't that hard. And don't give me the fact that kids got to get the bed and all that. No, no, not on grand final. What, what a house do you live in? Yeah. Seriously, if your kids can't stop and watch a grand final, please. Please.
