Can anyone explain why the AFL needs to fly Craig Willis all the way to Perth to ask people to stand for the national anthem? Or why the AFL need him to do this anywhere at all? The bloke who is constantly yelling at the crowd on the PA system can surely do the same gig. Or they could simply start the anthem - I reckon folks would catch on. It's the same thing wih the club songs. We don't need the bloke on the PA to tell us what's going on. Just play the song and we'll probably work out that our team is entering the arena. I realise this isn't the most important issue in the game today but it's always bugged me.

This...
I was in another room but did they start the National Anthem in Perth with the first bars of the Blues theme song?
Willis has been doing what he does for years at the AFL...beats Greg Evans or John Deeks.

Quite like his voice when you can hear it.

The same reason as to why the players fly to play matches. To do their (or in this case, his) job!
Cushiest*job in Australia.

Incorrect. THIS guy - Alexandre Molina - has the best job in the world, he's the bloke who hands out the caps to the F1 podium placers and is in charge of the grid girls at every race across the world.
Saw him having a dart outside the G one Friday night. Hopefully smoking doesn't ruin his voice, or maybe it adds more character to it

The man who shafted Mike Williamson.
Was he even actually there? Or was it just played over the PA? Because I know that's happened before.
