What happens with all the entertainment + build up next week?

[swans4eva]

What happens next week with things like:
- The Grand Final Parade
- The Pre-Match entertainment
- The Grand Final Breakfast
- The Grand Final sprint

Will all these things have replays or will next weekend be toned down majorly and it will just be the game?

thoughts?

 

[Forgotten Legend]

From what I've read no entertainment or Grand Final Parade will occur, but I may be wrong.

 

[bunsen burner]

Can't see the parade happening. Can't see clubs being able to organise breakfasts quick enough.

There will be scaled down entertainment I think.

 

[Geelong2k9]

AFL will be announcing what will happen sometime on Monday....

 

[Didaics]

AFL will pay some regular entertainers to come along I presume, maybe Mark Seymour, Mike Brady and Barry Crocker can do a trio thing?

I wonder if that woman that sounded like Miss Piggy singing the anthem in the 93 GF is available.

Gotta have someone decent for the anthem though. yesterday was an embarrasment and made our country look very lame.

 

[Choota]

Will any shows ie. On the Couch, Footy Classified, One Week at a Time get another run?

 

[melbournemartin]

There will be no parade or breakfast (confirmed). I don't know about entertainment but I reckon there will just be an anthem and that's it. Hopefully it's not soft as butter like yesterday.

The Footy Show will be on Thursday but only in the normal studios. Hopefully there won't be a second revue.

 

[swans4eva]

The anthem shouldn't be a performance. Yesterdays was a joke. I wouldn't be against just having a recording of it.

 

[jonesy86]

Shouldn't have a problem with pre-match entertainment.

You'd think any band that is in Australia next weekend will be enquiring to the AFL to try and get the gig.

Have you been living under a rock?

 

[Bombers_Forever]

It should just be like the preliminary final - have the anthem, that is it. Better for all concerned, especially the players.

I would have thought the bloke asked a decent question.
THe morning after Grand Final day. Most people wouldn't have caught any news, after a big night.

Agreed. Spare us the Entertainment that isn't even entertaining

Yep, have the match for the fans. No parade, pre-game, etc. just concentrate on the most important thing (the actual game).

 

[johnnyhoward]

They should, but I've heard only Footy Classified is confirmed (JB mentioned it today).

Hopefully there's minimal "entertainment", I'd imagine that was what it was like in '77.

Agreed. Have the anthem and that be it, because we've already had the crappy entertainment and now it should all be about the actual game.

 

[Wallaby]

How about a half-time 'AFL Strongest Man' comp instead of the Sprint? Bench Press, deadlift, squat.

It would probably look pretty crap from row QQ, though. Ok, have a 400.

Failing that, get the Auskick kids out there.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Throw together a legends match.
Get a few old blokes to run around.

 

[Doc September]

The pre-match entertainment was a joke, what was clever or entertaining about a tethered balloon.

Play the national anthem at the right tempo so the crowd can join in if they want to.

Half time should be returned to the Aus kick kids just like every other match. The sight of their enthusiasm and wildly varying skill levels usually provides come amusement.

hmmm adelaide has its "slowdown" event, supposedly with Tom harley on saturday night at 7pm...wonder if he'll make it now.

 

[krusden]

All the money the AFL has and thats the best they can do?

 

[Bennett.]

In the spirit of the event, maybe they can just show a replay of the past week's entertainment and tv shows?

 

[Korn]

They should do another parade.
