The AFL’s recent tradition of playing music in between goals at fixtures and finals this year is set to be ditched for Saturday’s 2022 Grand Final between Sydney and Geelong.

There are reports on Tuesday morning that the MCC is not keen on the practice, and the MCG has received hundreds of complaints.

6PR sports presenter Mark Readings told Michael Genovese on 6PR Breakfast the AFL was set to drop the practice.

“What has really irked quite a number of AFL fans during the season and finals in particular, is that after a goal has been kicked, there’s been music played,” 6PR sports presenter Mark Readings told Michael Genovese on 6PR Breakfast.

Hearing the AFL will ditch the music after goals on Grand Final day, but this is unconfirmed. The MCG has received hundreds of complaints. The league has been keen on the tunes during finals, but the MCC approached them after the Cats-Lions prelim to argue for the mute button.
