Lame as usual. Recycling acts that are well past their used by. Horrendous. 

Hey hey back up a bit, Jimmy is a national treasure. Ain't no second prize a certainty to feature. 

Black eyed peas though? Very lame. I didn't think they existed anymore.  

If they wanted a hip hop act, they have plenty of commercially viable Australian artists to choose from. 

The Sunnyboys are still touring, wish we could get a proper Aussie band like that :(

I vote get rid of all this peripheral noise and so-called entertainment at all football matches. Quarter time and three quarter time should be an opportunity for the coaches to speak to the players. There’s so much noise from idiots I doubt they can hear. Half time entertainment is wasted on most fans who want to have a drink or speak with a mate or mates.

Barnes is a stinker. Yell and has a voice that went out long ago. Bogan music.

Bogan music? Lol sorry your highness 

Who are the regular classical artists you normally listen to at a sensible volume in the Range Rover on your way to high tea?

I’d prefer no entertainment. 

Must admit the whole idea of arena entertainment in a sporting context (as distinct from the arena being set up for the entertainment) seems to me to be a failure.

Given that it's designed for television... why bother

I think you just answered your own question there - TV ratings.

What? You don’t want musical acts chosen by people that can barely run the sport they manage?

I’m with ET. It’s embarrassing every year. In fact the only reason a take a quick glance at the entertainment is to see if they topped the last embarrassment.

Having said that, I’d love to hear Fergie butcher our anthem. 

Pretty sure the Black Eye Peas are Fergieless these days.

To be fair to the Black Eyed Peas, they just released some new music, so they are not completely irrelevant.

Ed Sheeran was still the best get of all time by the AFL. His post show gig was really good.

Jimmy Barnes is a great guy, who has cheated death more than once. But his voice has gone. Completely shot. 

I cringe when i hear him “Belt out” a tune now  

the 1977 Cold Chisel debut album is still one of my all time favourites

But Barnes should now retire with grace

Could still pay her $20 bucks if Robbo isn’t available.

yeah ... I know that but it was on a hovercraft chasis so they could do simulated wheelies in the middle of the ground

Who thought that a washed up bogan who’s looking more and more like an old lesbian every time I see him, and some yank band that had a top 100 hit some time in the last century was a good idea? 

I just checked and Les Savy Fav are free grand final weekend.

Who gives a rats ring about the entertainment. The Wiggles could be screaming Sweet Child of Mine whilst nude and I wouldn't even give it a  glance. It's only about the footy.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
