Tom Jones at the Grand Final?

[Bluelegs]

For 2015, I want to see Huey Lewis drive a DeLorean into the MCG... will work real well if Port make it...."that's the POWER of love", then they kick 1.21 (jigawatts) for the whole game... opponents can be either Geelong or North.... the coach will be given the name "Great Scott"

"Hes going 88 miles an hour" commentary on any quick player

 

[ElitePunter]

He's 74

Way younger than 80. Apologies.

 

[gutsroy]

Is there a reason why there has to be a half-time 'spectacular' at all? Hard for me to tell from over here, but I don't think it adds anything to the day.

Would rather the sprint / goalkicking /... than a procession of geriatrics who've lost the ability to sing / even lip-sync respectably in a pseudo-showpiece.

If it is a drawcard, it would be great for Aussie acts to get the nod. Feel like a grumpy old man having written this, now I'm done. Time for my nap.

set shot for goal is attempted...

Dennis: "If he puts his mind to it, he can accomplish anything"

Aside from the Superbowl what other sports have a major pregame/half time show that has nothing to do with the game itself?

It's something that the AFL try to emulate on a shoestring budget and almost always come off looking unprofessional. It doesn't help that a football oval is too large for any show to be truly effective and its a lot harder to provide something spectacular during the day than it is at night or indoors

 

[FootyJunkie]

Could be worse,you could've read it as Tony Jones

Or Tony Jones dressed up as Tom Jones, but singing Meatloaf songs, but doing it worse thatn Meatloaf did

I don't understand why they just don't have a curtain raiser and some local acts can play before the main game? Tom Jones is 74! The MCG is simply not cut out for mega concerts, why do the AFL think that a singer as great as Tom Jones is, will be a spectacular event? Looking at the empty stands on the weekend leads me to believe that 'Gilligan' should consider curtain raisers at every game from next season, some value for money might not be a bad idea? I also think the daytime GF is on it's last legs, if the AFL want a spectacular then they have to play it at night with fireworks and the whole shebang or just simply leave the Saturday to the game itself and play a curtain raiser and build up from there. I remember when it was footy's greatest day and games began at approx 9am with the Under 19's GF!

Just bring back Lionel Ritchie and have Julie Anthony sing the anthem. Perfect!

The AFL has a very poor idea of who their target market is, it seems.

 

[djrossie16]

I guess Engelbert wasn't available

 

[ep2018]

Why not someone who is relevant today?

Yep, knocked back a really good offer from P!ink several years ago when she was in her prime, but happy to have Meatloaf and Tom Jones.

 

[bkozican]

Who is Australian and is currently topping charts..... ?

Iggy

 

[hawks realist]

Another washed up old dinosaur. Way to go afl. Lucky I'll be on the piss somewhere kicking a footy at halftime and won't have to witness another cringeworthy "performance"

 

[JUBJUB]

I guess Engelbert wasn't available

Preparing for his next shot at Eurovision song contest perhaps

 

[Richard Pryor]

William Shatner should be the GF entertainment.

 

[Hawkk]

Daryl Somers in white

 

[jimbler]

Would rather the sprint / goalkicking /

Don't 97.8% of the players head over to New York, Las Vegas etc... once their season is over these days? I'm not sure they'd have much interest in returning for a Grand Final sprint.

 

[Bluelegs]

Singing our national anthem, Rocket Man style.

Wouldn't mind it actually. He'd get into the fun of it and put on a good show like Lionel Richie.

Bloke is so old he could quite literally die on stage

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

BRITNEY!!! Please.... BRITNEY!!!

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!! sob.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Was really hoping for Justice Crew.

Who or what is a justice crew?

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Will Gil throw his panties on stage at him ?

Any panties would be big 'uns these days.

* I would rather have Hilltop Hoods play their silly music than some washed up American playing songs so 50/60 years olds can boogie.
