The Etihad roof debate is back on the agenda after the AFL experimented with a partially closed lid on the weekend for the final round of NAB Challenge matches.

A bright strip of sunshine ran the length of the ground right through the centre when North played Richmond and it blinded the players according to Todd Goldstein.

"We live in Melbourne, we all know what the weather is like. You get four seasons in a day, so I don't know why if we've got a roof we don't just keep it shut," he said.

Brad Scott reinforced his views that the roof should always be closed no matter the weather conditions.

"My opinion is very, very clear – I've said it before, I will say it again, I think the roof should be closed," Scott said.

He was strongly backed up by Damien Hardwick and his brother Chris.

"I don't know, it's not that hard is it? Is it that hard, really? Here's an idea, shut the bloody thing. Jesus," Hardwick said.

Despite the growing frustration among players, coaches and broadcasters, the AFL claims 60 percent of fans want the roof open.

So is it just propaganda or the truth?
