Pre VFL Grand Final Entertainment

Submitted by StationHotel on

Hi Guys

I was just wondering what you think about the VFL having some on ground entertainment before the big game.

I was thinking how great it would be if they could score Jimmy Barnes or Cold Chisel to perform a few numbers.

Or even the living end

what do other fans think ?

if no other celebrity available a good choice would be The Victorian Police Band ,who have a very good singer and can play popular music as well. Always well presented on tv.

There is nothing worse at a football final than a woman screeming her lungs out. Most National Anthem singers are dreadful, especially with their "Advarrrnce" Australia Fair.
But yes, a rousing marching band would be great.

That's a very sexist remark CS.
Must admit that the Policewoman that sang the national anthem a few years back was one of the best that I have heard.

That was in 2008.

I thought the MC that night was pretty good too ;)

Bring back the Dandy Dollar Dash and have our own Brekky DJ call the race.

And there off, Jason Borough began quickly followed by Bobby Borough with VFA just behind the leading pair. Further back was Zebra Man and Zebra with Billy the Kid well back followed by Iceman, Lum, North Port, Digs, Rooster, CGull and Blackrocker. With 50 to go the Borough boys are challenged by VFA with Zebraman and Zebra chiming in. And down sweeping down the outside are North Port, Lums and Billy the Kid. And Blackrocker and CGull right down the grandstand side from the clouds. Joining in is also Digs and Rooster as well.
Photo can't pick them.

For our phantom VFA sprint Brekky DJ to call the race. I heard Pete that you are the modern day John Russell.

Digs, you are dashing down the outside late.

Pete (Brekky DJ) who won ??
