Nine News sport newsreader Tony Jones has admitted he fell asleep during the AFL Grand Final in the latest episode of 9News Unmasked.

TJ told co-panellists Livinia Nixon and Peter Hitchener he dozed off towards the end of the match, which was the first-ever night Grand Final.

His daughter Lauren was the one to wake him up.

"Lauren and I were watching the Grand Final and I fell asleep in the last quarter," he said.

"She said: 'do you know what we're watching? The Grand Final'."

His sleepy confession triggered laughter from gobsmacked co-panellists.

"Not an admission every sports reporter makes," Hitch said.

TJ said he hilariously woke up presenting the news: "Good morning and welcome to the Sunday Footy Show. What a win to the Western Bulldogs".

"You may have had a time machine that took you back, what four years?" Livinia said.

"There may have been a glass of red wine there," the sports newsreader laughed.

"It's been a very long season."
