Excluding the Auskick Games, which range from really good to really bad, whatin your opinion is the worst on field entertainment ever provided at an Eagles Game?

For mine it was in 1998 When we lost to Melbourne by 19 points and the wiz whizzed 6 goals on us, there was this local opera diva who sang at half time and sang "We're the Eagles..." in her Mezzo-Soprano VOice...she actually had a great voice, but the club song just doesn't come across very well as an Aria. (an operatic Song for you un-initiated).

Then there was (Not so)Slim Jim trying to get us to cheer that the Dockers had re-signed Pavlich...Anyone else?
 
Got a story to share. Back in the late 1980's, I was at a night game at the WACA (Essendon, IIRC) with my father. The half-time entertainment consisted of the Eaglettes dressed up in suits, hats and sunglasses, dancing to a tune from the Blues Brothers. Anyway, dad watches the entertainment for a minute or so with a quizzical expression, then turns to me and says, "wait a minute ... they're not blokes!!"

The best 1/2 time entertainment ever: Fraser Gehrig snotting Bryan Sheehan.
 
the half time entertain is always *****e. it is a good thing that it takes all of that time to go to the loo and but some food + beer.

best = auskick. love those little tackers

worst = slim jim. love it when he sings eagle rock and tries to get the crowd to sing the chorus. 9 times out of 10 the results is deathly silence.

How about worst GF entertainment - My bet is this year, with endless "Holy Grail" playing through those tinny MCG speakers.

And does anyone else think of Maud Flanders when the t-shirt cannon comes around?

Haha! Thats a classic!

Actually before they got 'Maud' doing the cannon, they had this bloke who drove the little buggy around... everyone in my block used to call him "Timmy" from South Park.

As for those Eaglettes, I'd prefer them over Slim "please book him into Jenny Craig" Jim. It would be intersting that the Eaglettes would have a new sponsor every year (Town and Country, ANZ). Then one year the Eaglettes doubled in numbers, and they had recruited about 4 blokes wearing hoods to do the dances.

Anyone else remember when the Eaglettes used to stand around the boundary line at 3 quarter time and try and get the crowd to do the Mexican Wave? ___/\___

well i agree with the holy grail but it will be a direct feed to the TV so there won't be any "tinny"ness that you speak of, that i have never encountered. i thought the mcg had great speakers
