One thing I'm dreading tonight.....

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Is the pre game "entertainment"

Dear god I know it will be awful.

WHY O WHY do they do this to us, who the hell actually comes up with these ideas?

[Jurrah Coffee 0]

It couldn't be worse than the flag raising we had a couple of weeks ago.

[Rich Demon 5]

There is a fund raiser behind it I think for the ONJ Cancer centre. Good casue albeit a touch cringeworthy and dated.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Yeah I agree with the cause, but seriously, I'd donate more not to have to sit through it.

The only pre game entertainment should be the guys warming up or a reserve comp. Everything else they do is tacky.

Just heard on TEN News that Robbo will play Travolta in a duet with her. And fair go btw, she's a pop icon of Australia who's performing at our home game despite being a Carlton fan and is trying to promote a very important charity, and who knows it could even bring a few extra people through the gate.

Personally i think it's a big tick for us.

That the Dees will continue to play their great game plan! yeah ha.

[Guest Artie Bucco]

I thought this thread was going to be about Brock performing well...

but obviously we don't really have to worry about that.

[Samsara 65]

Also, is it too early for a 'Vent your Spleen' thread?

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

So far so good....

The fire that went of as we ran through the banner as the highlight of my night!

Mmmm...yes

[Striker475 696]

it could have been much worse, was great to know Jimma was at the game, he got a huge cheer from Dees & Blues fans alike

[mrtwister 652]

Why the demon did we host Olivia Neutron Bomb at our home game? She does a press conference with Big JS and bats her eyelids and talks about the partnership with the club blah blah blah.......and then turns aup for an interview at half time with her Carlton scarf on. If she's such a huge Carlton fan then let them host the chick.

I feel so used

There was nothing wrong with having Olivia Newton John as pre match entertainemnt. She is an australian icon and cancer survivor who was happy to do this for us. It deosnt matter that she wasa carlton supporter. That wasnt the point of the night. The point was to raise money for her brilliant cancer centre that she has created to make people feel a little bit better who are going through treatment. Her centre offers the relaxation side of things such as massage, yoga and meditation.

Jim as we all know uses alternative therapies to help him with his battle so of course he would want to help this centre. He probably also thought that it might get more people to our home game. The crowd seemed to enjoy it. What gave me a lift was seeing Jim come out on the stage. Dont care he couldnt sing but 3 days ago this man was in surgery having more brain tumours removed. Its a shame his spirit and courage doesnt rub off on the players.

On another thing though have we hired Robbo as a match day person or something. The last few home games he has bobbed up for 1/2 time interviews and gets his head on the screen. Also thank god we have got rid of that flag raising crap. Well done to people who complained enough to make the club realise this looks stupid.

I agree that the cause is well worth while, Australian icon and all that. It was also great to see big Jim up there but I just felt as though she took a bit away from it with her 'I'm a Carlton supporter' rubbish.

C'mon now, she did the whole 'it's great that the MFC has joined with me for this' and then she openly states her committment to our opposition on the night.

Not bagging the cause, just questioning the logistics of it.
