    I wonder how much he got paid for that crap?

    186 points worse than Lionel

    $1m that could have been spent on junior footy. This is an absolute disgrace. He is just past it. His backup singer was great however.

    So glad I slept through that pre-match entertainment!

    Good move. Probably the worst of all time. Bring back Angry Andersen and the Batmobile. Even the female Aboriginal opera singer who sang off key was better.

    Meatloaf was a disgrace...he looked like he was wasted on some drug, and continually sang off key.

    This is one area the AFL can never get right.

    They should either get a "current" act like a Foo Fighters or Black eyed peas or something.

    Or an aussie act like Wolfmother.

    Ha Ha!

    The pre-match entertainment used be a full on production, with lots of colour and local talent (remember the 2000 "Do The Cazaly" - I think that was what it was called - dance?). Now it seems they just throw too much money to any washed up singer and have a few cars that go around the ground. Borrrrring..

    Agree.

    Definitely a waste of money and a low light.

    They should have teamed Meatloaf with Plugger for a proper AFL connection.

    Aussie Rules still has an air of daginess about it, and to be honest, the likes of Angry Anderson, Lionel Ritchie and Meat Loaf sit pretty comfortably with the character of the game. Having said that, Meat Loaf's perfomance certainly wasn't worth that money.

    Another washed up rock band like Guns 'n' Roses or Aerosmith would be great for next year!

  • Quote

    After Lionel Ritchie went so well last year, very disappointed with Meatloaf who I thought would be a great act.

    Thought it was just the speakers at the G, but then we got a whole lot of texts from family watching on tv saying how bad it was.

    Good writeup by Leaping Larry in todays age on him.

    Cut Meatloaf some slack - he just about dragged himself out of his deathbed for that performance.

    The poor guys is not doing well these days.

    The "poor guys" NEVER done well. Pomp rock stunk first time around and and doesn't smell any better 30 years on! Pity he didn't stay in his death bed (or should that be "tone deaf" bed) rather than subject us to that rubbish. It's about time the AFL provided entertainment relevant to the times rather than supporting hacks like Mr Loaf and Mr Ritchie.

    What a shame we didn't manage to land Kelly Clarkson instead.

    Apparently Dr Hook is already locked in for next years GF with Tommy Steele doing the National Anthem (Cliff Richard was otherwise engaged)

    We probably could have got the Wiggles !! :)

    Were you there last year? Lionel was brilliant. Everyone was up and singing along with him. Surprisingly it really worked.

    Meatloaf - should have been the same, but just didn't work.

    At least they would have entertained the five and unders!

    Dr.Hook - everyone will be able to sing their karaoke favorites - maybe even the the Doc will stick to the choon too...."when your body's had enough....blalbla balah...)

    Think anybody will know who Tommy Steele is?

    Should think Australian and get Rolf Harris and his wobble board to do it....

    Err, then again most of the crowd these days wouldn't have much idea who he is either!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
