Why does it have to be a band? Why not that guy that used to have the talking Teddy bear on his lap on 'hey hey it's Saturday', man that bear was funny.

I reckon the AFL should have got Bob Dylan to do it. He refuses to play anything anyone wants to hear - so even his fans are unhappy.

If you’re going to disappoint people you may as well go all in - and disappoint everyone.

"The answer my friend, is kicking with the wind ..."

Oh I just saw the commercial with Katy Perry. The whole thing looks like a 2007 music video.

Woof.

I've got an idea. Just play the game of football. Lionel Ritchie, Robbie Williams & Kiss were all fine, but I wouldn't have missed them one bit. I just want to watch the game that decides the premiers. Who cares a tinkers cuss if there is no vacuous, ponced-up pop sensation with limited talent but over hyped self exposure galumphing across a sporting arena? 

Maybe John Farnam will come out of retirement for the 17 th time.

I hope not.

It’s funny, over on Reddit AFL there’s been a minor movement over the past few years to get the Gizz to play a GF. Not that the AFL would ever tweak that they’re one of the biggest Australian bands currently touring the world, but they’ve said they’d never do it anyway. Nothing against the game (one of their first singles was called “Footy”) but they’re simply not interested in the trappings of mainstream recognition. Another wise move from them. 

"I'd never join a club that wanted me as a member" wise move 😜

Could be worse, we could have what the opening ceremony in Paris just dished up.

I'm 53 and I dig Katy Perry. You can get a good hour or so out of her best songs and they are all superb. Great for long drives. 

Interesting that the two mega acts for the Olympics opening ceremony were not French.

Lady Gaga and Celine Dion

That's what I call cringeworthy
