What do we seriously think an ANZAC rendition actually means? maybe the screen will show pictures of the Port players who served or something like that.


Some of the forces bands have good singers. I was wandering through Perth the other day and heard what sounded like a pretty good Jazz combo with a female singer playing and was surprised to see it was the RAN band - maybe someone from the ADF will do a rendition of NTUA.

I was telling anyone who'd listen a year ago that coming up to this ANZAC day we'd see an obscene amount of merch/commercial agreements leading up to 25/4/15.
To be fair, it's only gotten truely s**t in the last couple of weeks. The Woolworths one maybe shook up the plans of others hoping to commercialise this event.

I love history but the jingoism around this year gives me the irrits. I really wish I was overseas for the weekend.

Anyone else notice that NTUA finished a good gap b4 the bounce? Was that deliberate? I liked it.

They must've left the in ground speakers at crows crowd volume because I sit right under a couple in bay 135 and I could barely hear "I was only 19 ", and the NTUA needs to still be loud until our fans develop the confidence over a few years to sing it loud regardless.
 
Did not notice this myself, but my son raised it at the game. The ANZAC banner design had both flags as Australian flags. Where was the NZ flag? What does ANZAC stand for ?

We watched the Collingwood/Essendon game earlier in the day and they even had a singer doing the NZ anthem prior to the Aussie one. And I'm sure the NZ anthem would have been sung prior to the Saints/Carlton game in Wellington. No such thing here in Adelaide.

I'm certainly not bothered by the NZ anthem not being sung, but FFS what does ANZAC stand for? Why couldn't someone wrap their head around the concept that there should be 2 different flags on the banner, not two for the same country. Other states seem to have got it right.
