Grand Final Entertainment

[Souths Till I Die]

You're right. If Macklemore and Cold Chisel held a concert next door to each other at the same time you'd find more youth at Macklemore.

But does the entertainment sway anyone's decision on attending the NRL GF? I'm usually lining up for a beer or a piss when they sing so its like elevator music to me.

I honestly think it depends whether or not you're really into concerts. I agree I'm at the footy to watch footy but if you're going to put entertainment there it may as well be entertainment that's actually relevant in the modern age to attract the people who may be interested in the music. I personally wouldn't care if Macklemore, cold chisel or the f**king wiggles played.

Watching the post-game AFL concert.

Macklemore will have to do something pretty f**king special to be better than The Killers.

Agreed sadly. When I saw the Killers I thought perfect for nrl. The fact they did an Oils cover means they did their homework and made it about the fans.

Not a rap fan admittedly upfront so completely biased. But the best lines in arguably Macklemores best song (Thrift Shop) are sung by some other fella.

Did some research and found the merkin completely underwhelming.........

 

[Timbo]

The Killers are shit

Well put.

They were outstanding today.

 

[carcharias]

Midnight oil are in town and in red hot form after playing 50 plus sold out concerts around the world.
Not sure if they would've done it
Or
Maybe the NRL were too scared to ask them

The only thing people are talking about is a band playing an Oils song.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Midnight oil wouldn't be mixing politics and sport.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Remember Bowling for Columbine? The NRL should have known this bloke would be a controversial choice.

The ARIA Album Chart this week has The Killers #1 and Macklemore at #3...both new albums debuting on chart.

What is Perth Red's analysis of this? Also.
Has the poor dear found somewhere to have breakfast? Is he damning Sydney for the lack of buzz about the switch to daylight savings?

He is at the stadium pushing children out of the way at the pass the ball game.

Lol.

Poor PR though...having to play with himself until gates open at 1.15pm. Damn backwards Sydney.

Has 40 odd foot of Grunt been mentioned yet?

I think the Big 3 have been swallowing Fafita's gift all year. May Paul Green give them a second serve tonight.

Yeah but they want a night time one too.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

With both the NRL an VFL getting a bunch for headlines for politically contraversial topics, im wondering if this might become a regular thing...

Im sure the sports love the attention and love being seen as the vanguard for positive social change. Im sure Soccer and Union will jump on it for the headlines and VFL-NRL might be afriad they will lose geoun to the other if they dont act on it.

We might be seeing the beginning of a new trend...

I agree
I saw the killers did an after the game concert on the field
( I'm only guessing but I assume it was the same field the game was played on )

It wouldn't have been late.

Last year it was pretty late when they were still making speeches.
Ol misery guts Smith thought it was his gig and he spoke for about 65 mins.
Hope he keeps his losers speech shorter this year.

The AFL open the gates to the MCG about 90mins after the game finishes and the free concert is open to anyone who wants to stay or turn up. The winning side also turn up and are introduced.

Its a pretty decent initiative.

 

[insert.pause]

The NRLGF has made the sports section of the Washington Post, fair to say the NRL have done well in getting the game exposure.
