2017 AFL Grand Final entertainment , The Killers ?

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Mitch Cleary saying on 3aw AFL in negotiations with The Killers for the GF entertainment

Going from a sold out gig in Hyde Park, London in July to a couple of pre-game songs on the GF in Australia would probably be a bit of a step down for them at this point.

A payday is a payday though, so if the price is right...

If we're going mainstream, I'd prefer Muse.

 

[Coaster2012]

I haven't heard of the killers in like 8 years.

I haven't heard of the killers in like 8 years.

They havent made a lot of music and been on hiatus in that time.

They would be a ******* awesome grand final act with some of their tracks.

If we're going mainstream, I'd prefer Muse.

Killers would be more in the AFL's price range.

So instead of getting a band whose best work was 30-40 years ago they are getting a band whose best work was from 10 years ago but sounds like it should be from 30-40 years ago.

Nothing wrong with that!

Mr Brightside been in top 100 for like 10 years

 

[wal]

Who??

 

[simba_]

The casuals will love it and they make up most of a GF crowd so it makes sense

 

[Cmarsh]

lol I would never have thought Caro would love The Killers.

 

[joop]

Who??

If you don't know who the Killers are I suggest you get out more.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Rolf Harris appearing in court again has thrown a spanner in the AFLs plans.

 

[wal]

Why, am I likely to run into them?

 

[The_Eagles]

Anyone else reckon Sams Town aged better than their debut

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Would be a good choice compared to some of the acts of the last few years who were 20 years past their used by date. They could get the crowd up and going

What do you think you'd pay them?

 

[demondavey]

Slipknot would be better.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Yeah?

Might tune in, wouldn't have watched the GF otherwise.

 

[Monopoly_Man]

Awesome news if so, nobodies saying they're the greatest band of all time but you can't deny it'd be a big step forward from recent choices.

It will help ease the pain of the impending Giants flag too

So what do punters think their 3-4 songs would be?

 

[rdhopkins2]

Midnight Oil for the win!

 

[Capt_Blackadder]

Mr Brightside and Somebody told me are quality tracks plus they are relevant at least for my age bracket, I loved listening to them in high school. I would be happy with it.

 

[floki]

I wouldn't be getting my hopes up people, being the AFL it's just as likely it'll turn out being the latest incarnation of Anthrax performing Killer Bs
