2017 AFL Grand Final entertainment , The Killers ?

[BigVic]

2013 was a great show I remember. Not anything else amazed me on GF day until this year.

Pull Entwistle and Moon out of their graves and get The Who on for 2018 I say

The Who would be good.

I reckon the Hoodoo Gurus would cover a lot of bases and a lot of age groups. They've never had the gig where lots of lesser lights have. And they are home grown. Hoodoo Gurus would rock.

 

[The Final Word]

The Strokes will do.

Julian gets on the turps pretty hard for gigs. Dangerous suggestion

Have they not ever done the grand final? Would be an excellent choice for 2018.

Only ever the NRL. They used one of their songs for their theme one year. But never the AFL.

 

[tugga]

you're both wrong

Head Injuries is their greatest album by the length of Flemington Strait!!!!!

Nope. 10 to 1 is the best.

Killers were good, but I would still prefer pre-match to be:
Under-18 Division 2 Final (e.g. NSW v Tas - not the academy teams)
Under-18 Division 1 Final (e.g. Vic Country v SA)
Parade retiring players + mens and womens state league premiers
Anthem (if really necessary)
AFL Grand Final

and then have a band or two for the post-match event

On a wet day that would rip up the ground.

Mike Brady
National Anthem
Football

That is all we need on Grand Final day.

Anything more is an admission that our game is boring.

Legitimate concern. I'm not sure it holds true in the modern day with better maintenance, no pitch square, and under-18s are generally lighter bodies that churn the ground less. But, yeah, the AFL would want to be sure the ground would hold up.

It would.

This is easily the best musical moment of any GF i've seen..

 

[Mootsy]

Midnight Oil for the win!

oh mang! you predicted it, sort of!

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

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

I love them

 

[BigVic]

I’ve watched the performance a few times and the AFL has nailed it this year

 

[schmuttt]

Even people who have nfi who the killers are liked them. Best GF entertainment the AFL has had, period.

 

[Coldacre]

Raise you, Back on the Borderline, Cold Cold Change, Bus to Bondi, No Reaction, Stand in Line!!!!

cracking collection of songs! but “Is is now” and “Naked flame” are b grade tunes. little bit too much late 70’s fluff with some of those production choices.

I maintain that “Dont wanna be the one”, “Lucky country”, “If Ned Kelly was king”, “Basement flat”, “Brave faces”, “Armistice day”, “Someone else to blame” and the almighty “Quinella”... their best collection of songs

 

[MickyG]

Brilliant. Absolutely the best AFL Grand Final entertainment ever.

 

[French Tiger]

Great band & even better live act

They killed it.

I prefer the old fashioned pre-GF entertainment - ie football matches (as in reserves and under 19s).

Having said that, if you want musical entertainment, then it becomes a completely subjective argument that will never make everyone happy.

Eg - as an older person, I could suggest two acts which would absolutely kill the AFL GF entertainment, yet which have been going nearly 100 years between them - Chicago and the Doobie Brothers.

 

[Fletched]

Not sure how the AFL will be able to top that, the iconic image of that grand final I think was Jack Riewoldt up with the Killers
