Who would top Kylie? Taylor Swift or BTS maybe but doubt they are gettable.
There are plenty of artists who would be a better pick than Kylie. She appeals to a much older audience.

I would much rather the NRL focus on picking a more modern artist to attract the younger generation. Someone like a Tate McCrae, Olivia Dean, Luke Combs, etc.

She charged Pratt $3M for a private concert. Christ knows what this is worth. Hard work but someone has to do it.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Kylie Minogue, I just don’t think it’s the big get that they are making it out to be, maybe it’s different in Victoria, but I don’t think many people under 30 would be all that fussed?

Could the whole thing just be because last year they had Snoop-Dog and the media dug up a stack of homophobic comments he`d made. I remember there was calls to have him cancelled because of this. It would be a typical ham-fisted response of the fumbles to go completely the other way and over compensate. They`ll be shaking their heads an all the pubs and bars across the country when Kylie comes on, it`s a joke.
All I know if the NRL had Kylie as the NRL pre-match entertainment I`d be wondering WTF ! So fumbles they really are floundering.

I think it's just a strategy to maximise their total viewership - capture all the ladies that wouldn't otherwise have interest in watch the afl grand final. All sport fans will watch it regardless (ie men), so this really reaches out to the female demographic. Also to the lgbt audience, kylie is their queen so they will all tune in to watch it too.

So that's covered all men, women, homosexuals, all the major groups to try and beat the NRL

After the homophobic Snoop Dog comments last year, Kylie is 100% a deliberate choice by the AFL to cover their own arses with the LGBTQIA+ community. If they could have, they would have dug up Peter Allen.

I mentioned this before but Blackpink have a big Australian/NZ connection and would be a huge win.

Just listen to the accents on a couple of those girls. Would open up a totally new audience for the NRL and endless YouTube highlights until forever.

You can sense the fear


So the nrlgf only outrated the aflgf because it had Brisbane/Melbourne, yet didnt the afl have Brisbane/Melbourne too? Year before they had Brisbane/Sydney? The fact is no AFLGF has ever rated as high as the NRL last year, including two that were broadcast at night during a COVID lockdown… for years they've been claiming it would rate 6m if played at night, it’s just nonsense…

@The_Wookie did you still use last weeks consolidated numbers or the overnights in your aggregated averages? The games didnt lose 300k viewers on consolidation, so they were obviously wrong.
