What is Shannon Gill’s rating system and why is it being applied to the 2026 AFL Grand Final?
Shannon Gill, an emergency session here given the grandeur of what we just sat through. Welcome in, Shannon
morning Jared. I as the last four minutes played out, I did think I may get a text message from you on Sunday morning, and I did. I was preparing for it in my head all.
Already, Jared. So this is you have a brilliant formula that you have applied to grand finals dating back to
1966 onwards. And it has um well it has six core elements of criteria and then it is a supplementary element that you've added in and We'll get to this, but we we may be changing this all up based on what we saw on the weekend because it was so wild. I mean, I was stunned. for a good two hours after the game. Yep. Uh and and we're doing this for this is only forty eight hours. The ratings can change. There's there's a little bit of prejudging where we're gonna land. Yes. Um but as I said, yeah, there's two elements that I think need a complete rethink. And and some like some people are saying best best grand final of the AFL era. Some are so are saying, Oh, I can think of five better ones. So I I don't think we're actually
We're not united on this.
No, no. And there's a difference between the game and the finish, which is the genius of your system, is to divide it up. So I w I acknowledge that we would normally do this three or four weeks down the tracks when in the cold light of day. We're in the hot blush of it.
So the the there's at least three categories that I think will definitely change. Some may may change as well because we we get a better better perspective on it later on.
All right, let's uh can you do the entertainment rating first? Okay. Because this is a subsidiary category, but it is a category that you put together.
All right, all right, so I've only I've only rated Snoop, Katie Perry, and now Kylie. Okay. Okay. Uh first first category star power. Snoop and Katie both got a four out of five. Kylie, because she is the Queen of Melbourne, gets a five out of five. So that's kind of indisputable, but it's because she's a Melbourne. Technical performance, not not my strong suit, but I'll I'll go with a a judgment. I had Snoop on three, KD four, Kylie four.
How did the hosts evaluate the entertainment value of the Grand Final performances?
Crowd in audience engagement or AKA playing the hits. I had Snoop on one, which caused caused a little bit of feedback last year. Katie on four point five, but I've got Kylie on five because I think ninety percent of the crowd knew every chorus to maybe all but one song she played. Yep. And they all sang along. Um so I I I think she just wins on that front. Staging and show. Now again, I I give this a there's an asterisk here. Imagine if this had to happen at night. Yes. Or in the twilight. Anyway, I won't go on with that any further. But it's measured against other daytime performers. Snoop. three katy four point five but i've got kylie on five floating kylie the whole homecoming to melbourne theme the the cambwell high kid at which i didn't pick up at the ground until i watched it on the replay so
Five for that. Embrace of the week is the last criteria. Katie got a 4.5, Snoop got a 4.5, Kylie got a 4.5. I I she didn't really need to do anything, Kylie, except be here. Yes. She didn't. She did a bit, but she didn't need to do anything extraordinary except be Kylie in Melbourne. So the final entertainment ratings, if you compared to Snoop and Katy Perry. Snoop, fifteen point five. Katie, twenty one point five. Kylie World champion, twenty three point five. Um, and I dare say I I think she'd get the nod if we did Robbie in this. I think she'd still get the nod because of the whole Melbourne connection. Yeah.
It couldn't
miss. No.
Uh and it was suitably iconic. All right, let's get to the categories of the 2026 grand final, beginning with game style.
Okay, so game style I've given it a seven point five for comparison, that's ahead of the twenty eighteen grand final and the same as the twenty twelve grand final. So I Up until and a lot of this is going to be up until the last four four minutes eighteen. Was never a beautiful game.
What factors contributed to the game‑style rating and how does it compare to past finals?
I don't think it was an ugly game. The given the conditions, I think it was a relatively good play game.
