2020 Grand Final - Pre-game and post-game Entertainment

[GOTHELIONS16]

This is very much an out there suggestion but for anyone who has watched the Netflix exclusive Eurovision Song Contest: Story of Fire Saga film featuring Will Ferrell, the movies original song Husavik ( or my hometown) would fit the mold of a Queensland Grand Final perfectly. Great uplifting song!

Get a local Ramones cover band to bust out Pinhead and a couple of other songs. Should cost about $100, free food and beer, and take 5 minutes. Then game on.

I'd be happy if that was put into perpetuity by the AFL.

 

[smasha]

This one fits the situation also.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Cub Sport is playing at the Grand Final.

 

[Ricky112]

Put up some chicken wire along the boundary and have a greyhound race, no?

 

[Coolangatta]

If they scrapped that s**t, and the parade and all the non-footy crap, would it then be easier for the AFL to schedule a grand final a week or two out from the event? Ask three of the four preliminary finalists where they'd like to play out of the MCG, SCG, Gabba, Optus, or AO, and the highest-ranking PF winners choice is the venue. I'm sure they'd still sell out if tickets went on sale a week before.

but you're getting the money to break/pay out the MCG GF contract from where?

Preferably, I'd like to rip up the contract, pay nothing, but it's fantasy. I'd have the money to do it and renew the contract to a simple formula that awards the grand final to the highest-ranked preliminary final winner. The only aspect of this I'd be undecided on is if all clubs home grounds are on the table, so Marvel, Geelong, GWS, and Metricon. Crowds and revenue would be secondary to fairness, so any home ground should apply unless those clubs tenants nominate other grounds.

 

[Achin joints]

Six foot hick would rip it up

 

[Xtreme]

Just get Tones and I back

couldn't be any worse than last year

 

[pablo668]

Surely there's plenty of local er 'talent' around. I think this bloke is pretty local these days.



Or at worst, dust off Jackie Love from wherever she's kept these days.

Midnight Oil have an album coming out on October 30th (the following Friday).

The Killers cover of Forgotten Years a few years ago also went down well

Like Guy Sebastian and AC/DC, one of those local mainstream fixtures with a suspiciously close release.

 

[Roobs321]

QSO are the first confirmed act, which is a pretty classy get, and given the year a good message to see a large music ensemble working together like that on stage. Would be lovely to have that as the sun dips to the horizon. Wouldn't really suit a typical open sky night game, but a more twilight game is fine, good way to mark a new chapter.

This article from September 7th has them doing renditions of the Lions & Suns club songs: QSO performs state’s AFL anthems

So essentially we're getting an ad for Michael Gudinski Management.

Shepherd and DMA.

I've got no idea. I know Brad Shepherd is the guitarist in the Hoodoo Gurus and DMZ were an ace punk band from Boston.

Add to that list Thelma Plumb, Busby Marou, Cub Sport and Electric Fields.

 

[Billy ray]

Not sure if a thread or not, but any news?
Powder Finger?
Savage Garden?
Veronicas?
Regurgitator?
Wolfmother?
Gina G?
Amy Shark?
Fat Mans Cleavage?
Cast of any Channel 7 reality shows?
Hologram performance by an overseas band?
Brisbane Police Marching Band?
Mike Brady?

kinda got some correct

 

[jaguaress]

Some ripper groups

 

[B4Bear]

Enjoyed it all.

 

[00Stinger]

So we had a Eurovision reject and the Gold Coast buskers

I actually commend the AFL for putting on a comedy show as the pre game entertainment

I can't believe we had all these amazing young Australian musos pre-game... and then had them doing covers of songs by artists they couldn't get. They weren't even "lift you up" type songs.

I know Triple J and its listeners harbour an irrational love for it, but if I ever hear DMAs do Cher again the tv/radio/computer/phone may go off the balcony.

Compared to the s**t pre-game, Sheppard seemed phenomenal at half time.

 

[archangel1979au]

At the game and wolfmother was amazing with the fireworks. Sheppard was awesome as well with the crowd lights l really enjoyed it. The covers although good looked like he was going off a teleprompter

Killers cover of Ice House Electric Blue is outstanding.
I reckon better than the original.
