TWO AFLW players have thrown their support behind the night-time slot for the season decider after its success this year.
The 2024 NAB AFLW Grand Final's 7.45pm AEDT kick-off this year proved to be a roaring success for both players and spectators.
Aussie pop rock group Lime Cordiale featured as the Telstra pre-game entertainment before a scintillating season decider between the North Melbourne and Brisbane.
"I loved it," Richmond player Sarah Hosking told AFL.com.au's Tagged.
"You get the atmosphere of everything. Lime Cordiale played, and the sun is still out, it's still warm and it feels like it's day time.
"Then you get this beautiful sunset coming down, the evening starts to get a little bit cooler and then you're into a night game.
"The atmosphere was honestly amazing, it was a sellout game, the crowd was involved, I genuinely think it was a great time to be playing."
Hosking and co-host Sarah Rowe hope that the League continued to pursue the evening slot, perhaps introducing it in the men's as well given its success.
"You saw the players at the end and Darren Crocker too, everyone sort of made comment on hopefully we'll see it in the men's and in the women's and it's a consistent thing because I really enjoyed it," Rowe said.
