Rumour Robbie Williams AFL grand final entertainment

[BigVic]

Bliss and Eso or Hilltop Hoods for me. Aussie home-grown hip-hop as with the recent acclaimed Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year.

I'm pretty sure Parkway Drive have sold more records in the United States than Robbie Williams has.

If they pulled out Romance Is Dead on the big stage I could die satisfied the following afternoon.

Why would we want to emulate what the NFL does?

Robbie Williams is in talk to stage the Grand final entertainment as the headline act this year.

He will be the biggest name in music to rock the MCG since The Killers’ epic 2017 show if confirmed

He's not yesterdays man. He's the day before yesterdays man

If he's read most of these comments, all I can say is, take that,robbie !

 

[WillHayward]

Yer right, worth about 30 million and he's desperate for cash. His got gigs coming up outside of Australia, hasn't been touring because of COVID like most artists.

He's made a lot of money.

Doesn't mean he's kept it. Have u seen the smooth fm ad?

Popular with grannies. A cabaret act.

Gold

 

[WillHayward]

How can he be desperate for cash? estimates put him with a worth of 300m

I dunno.
Ask Johnny Depp.

TISM are reforming, but I doubt the AFL would have the gonads to even consider them

That'd be awesome but no doubt they'd take the piss out of the AFL so it'll never happen would like to see airbourne they put on a ripper show

 

[Harry Bosch]

would prefer the wiggles

Why would we want to emulate what the NFL does?

Because it gives AFL HQ an excuse to continue their annual junket “study tours”

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Coke habits will do that to you

Yeah lol cos 300m coke habits are achievable

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Unpopular opinion: it'd be like when they had to scramble to get Lionel Ritchie for the 2010 replay and everyone thought he'd be un utter disaster but he was great and it was one of the more memorably enjoyable performances in the past few decades.

I think Robbie Williams would put on a pretty good show if they got him. It's not like I love his music or anything but he's a good live performer.

Not with that attitude. Stay out past 9pm pop

Difference is Lionel Ritchie is a genuine music icon. Robbie Wiliams is an ex-boy band hack that managed to eek out a career surrounded by management types ensuring his image was paramount. I had a woman at my work tell me what a wild perfomer Robbie Williams is - I suggested she check out GG Allin.

I'd argue all that counts for naught. I'd also look for a local performer wherever possible but if it is determined that a big international name is the go I'd be looking for broad generational appeal (tick), easy songs for people to get out of their seats and sing along to (tick) and a performer who knows how to put on a show and will probably be as good a bet as anyone to get a tough crowd involved (tick).

 

[BigVic]

I didn’t mind Lionel at all

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Would prefer robin williams

I’ve got some bad news, you might want to sit down

 

[Jim Prideaux]

I'm pretty sure Parkway Drive have sold more records in the United States than Robbie Williams has.

But significantly less everywhere else.

I’ve got some bad news, you might want to sit down

I knew what i was asking

 

[Aussie in exile]

I would prefer that the Grand final entertainment was Australian talent rather than a washed up former star from overseas
