So everyone's sooking about what the AFL spends their money on ?...or are they sooking about what the AFL spends THEIR money on ??
Just be thankful they didn't follow the NRL's lead and got ( UGH ) ESKIMO JOE...who i think played LAST years GF....and the one before that....and the one..
Did anybody see Kelly Clarkson at the NRL Grand Final?
I'm certainly not a fan of hers, but her performance was a thousand times better than Meatloaf's. Shows the difference between somebody in their prime to a washed-up star who relies on hits from 30 years ago.

Eskimo Joe are a good band, currently much better than Meatloaf

God i wish plan B was put in place.Rumored to be pulling out due to the weather. Was just reported on Channel 10.
Bloody hell. Toughen up mate. We've paid big bucks for you to come.
Having said that I can't wait to find out what Plan B is if he doesn't go on.
I could have told you that. I saw him last time he was here, he was shithouse and there were people streaming out mid way through. I sent an email to the promoter saying we should all be refunded.
To think he's back. All those saying he will be better in his concert when he knows the venue, set up, arrangement etc. Wrong. I've seen nothing to suggest that is true. Pity, because I saw him do a 25 minute version of Paradise by the Dashboard Light which inlcuded costume changes at the Old Lion back in the day, it has alway stayed with me. Altho' it could be argued he's always been a little upstaged by his strong female singer.
The whole pre-game thing is such an embarrassment.
Just get Mike Brady to play a tune, press play on the tape recorder for Julie Anthony's version of the national anthem and then let some balloons go.

Oh i'm sorry...i hadn't heard that Eskimo Joe had the 5th highest selling album of all time......
Had to laugh at his Fb page. There's people trying to defend him, and one is insisting the ground is actually called the MCC. Sigh.
Is that deliberate irony? Somewhat clever if so.

Are you slow?
He can sell as many albums as he wants but his performance yesterday was terrible.

Do you understand the word "currently"?
And if you don't want to discuss the pre-match, why are you in the thread which exists solely to discuss the pre-match?

Absolutely the AFL should be accountable for the money it spends.
It is both the AFL's money and the fans' money we are talking about, as the AFL pockets the takings from the Grand Final.
If the AFL wants to (purportedly) spend $500,000 on a musical act for the Grand Final, the fans have every right to expect it to be money well spent.
And yesterday it wasn't.
Now that's a different issue, that comes down to musical taste. When it comes to taste it wouldn't matter who performed, you wouldn't make everyone happy.
The issue is the quality of the performance on the day. Despite Loaf's enormous past success, his performance was sub-par. No question about it.

the sad thing about the whole thing that it was so obvious that his performance was gonna be shit, seriously what were they thinking?

I gotta admit the bits when he was 'crooning' the chick with big boobs and he couldnt hit a note was hilarious, his face was so serious.
Eskimo Joe was our pre-match entertainment for the Geelong vs Hawthorn QF, they performed 3 songs pre-game and then their new song at halftime IIRC.
NRL gets them for their GF and only get 1 son, their new one which most wouldn't know.
That's without mentioning they got Kelly Clarkson all the way out here for 1 song and that too was her new song which hardly anyone would have known. She always sings live though and sings well, so that was a plus.

Ha ha, too right. Just a few bars of the music and the backup singer would have saved the day.

Meat was pretty funny yesterday, but when you consider he getting >$300k for that 12 min performance, the AFL has to have rocks in their head not to know that he was likely to perform like that.
Surely the first qualification for a Grand Final entertainer is that they can still sing!
As much as I like(d) a re-run of INXS, Noiseworks, Barnesy, Chisel, Farnham....they are DONE, and it's time to put them out to pasture.
As others have said, Paul Kelly would be sensational if he was singing a 4 song set of Leaps and Bounds, To Her Door, Dumb Things, How To Make Gravy. (Plus he loves AFL, lives in Melbourne, and is a Crows supporter!)
AFL - make Paul Kelly an offer for 2012 GF now, before he plans his tours for next year.
If the AFL want to move away from baby-boomer rock, some other options could be You Am I, Tex Perkins/Cruel Sea, Something For Kate. The Presets would be a bit different, but would put on a great live show.
Maybe the AFL could run a poll on their website until April for example asking who people want to see perform Grand FInal Day? Then the top 5 acts nominated, would form the basis for their search for Grand Final entertainment?

This thread seems to be going swimmingly.

Well now that we know what we are going to get, it would be funny.
We should get William Hung out here and the two of them can do 'She Bangs' as a duet.
