McLachlan said last month he believes a twilight grand final is an inevitably.
However, we will have to wait at least another year before we see it, with McLachlan saying on Friday morning he believes footy fans will be happy with the decision.
"The majority of supporters want to keep it at 2.30pm," McLachlan told reporters on Friday.
"That isn't the only reason you keep it there, but it means that when you're going to make a change and ask the public to trust you and say 'this is going to be better,' you want to be really confident that every aspect will be better."
