Bloke is a try hard fanboi

When he commentates with big names he comes off like that but his podcast is actually really good

I was surprised when the AFL announced a genuine big name as the entertainment. Now I see how they made it happen. I'm still happy with my Meat Loaf.

Complaining about not getting the big gigs like the superstar performers is a bit like women's soccer complaining they don't get as much as the men.

I wish we’d just showcase Aussie bands. Seems like an opportunity lost.

The AFL take a lot of criticism over not being able to attract stars.

I somewhat agree, but there's only so many times you can roll Mark Seymour out.

Most Aussie bands don't fit the size of the occasion

I agree, that's why I think Carlton are most probably the likely place he'll end up.

Pick 11 that they currently hold is most probably around the apex of what he's worth, especially with this draft.

They can talk all they want about two first rounders etc but at the end of the day he's only worth what other clubs are prepared to pay.

Contending clubs will pay more though. Plus he's contracted, clubs that want him will have to pay. Port don't need the cap space, they can keep him. And knowing them, they'll just push someone else out if they don't get what they want and feel they're overburdened with half backs.

You could put a "super" group together like they used to in the "old days" where they'd have a plethora of people and muso's performing, dancers, choirs, kids, balloons, flappy men, flybys, retiring the giant guernseys down over the crowds - even Muhammed Ali being driven around the ground.... ah, they were the days.

 

[1970crow]

Seems to be a common complaint. He's a good enough analyst that he shouldn't need to resort to gutter clickbait, but he damn well does.

Haven't heard much I disagree with or would describe as gutter. Would be interested in a couple of examples that aren't Tex Twitter wars from 5+ years ago.

We're moving toward Super Bowl territory really, only the big names will do.

Rightly or wrongly

 

[1970crow]

People should listen to his chat with howie on the howie games podcast, I reckon quite a few would change their opinion on him.

Most of the strong views would be based on nothing other than the social media war with Tex from years ago.

Like I said, lost opportunity. And it'll never be super bowl territory while it's played in the daytime.

 

[FR0GGY]

Most of the strong views would be based on nithing other than the social media war with Rex from years ago.

Kane v Rex? Didn’t know anything about it.

$50/head for 5 songs sounds about right given concert ticket prices. Plus she's entertaining al the FTA viewers for nothing. There's not a single Oz band worthy of performing at what is an international event. Should be free to busk outsude the stadium though.

We're trying to make it an international event. Why settle on bog average local entertainment. Could just get a DJ to play best of the 80s too.

Kane won: Rex is in receivership.

It's not an international event though, is it? It's an Australian event. And there's lots of fabulous performers in this country.

Not worthy of headlining the biggest sporting event of the year. Look, I'm happy to go with nothing, but if you're going to have someone playing music, then they need to measure up. No current Aussie act comes close.

Bullshit. You could come up with a list a mile long of quality Aussie acts. They've got Katy Perry playing this year. Who the hell wants to listen to that garbage ?? Utter trash. The best act of recent times that the AFL have had at the GF was Birds of Tokyo in 2013. That was seriously good. And there's plenty more out there.

Not worthy of headlining the AFL there isn't. You have low standards, we're a pimple on the world stage's butt.

Again, completely wrong. Go to big music festivals across Europe and the US. Always loaded with Aussie talent. Who are some of these names you are thinking are worthy of headlining the AFL GF ?? I think it could be you with low standards or zero musical taste.

You’ll never please everyone, I’m guessing more people would know and like Katy Perry than Birds of Tokyo

If that's true, that's a very sad state of affairs.
