I dont really understand what value an overseas artist brings? The game will sell out anyway, the game will rate well anyway and we aren't trying to grow the game beyond our borders.

I would be OK if its once every few years, but not sure why we need to spend big $'s every year

The AFL have this unhealthy fascination that people watch the AFL for the pre game and half time entertainment. For me, this is when I take off for a beer and a kick of the footy with mates. For those at the game, they also tend to make themselves scarce too.

This is why the AFL want the game under lights. For me, the game is the entertainment, not the artist they wheel out.

Couldn’t agree more. Adds nothing but an unwelcome distraction to the main event.

It’s what they do in the US so the AFL wants to mimic them like they always do.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

AFL is a not for profit organisation, yet they give millions to artists who aren't adding any value back to the game, literally $'s leaving our shores. These $'s are generated by the fans essentially. I dont know how they justify it.

The only reason would be to increase TV audiences on GF day.
Not sure many would watch just coz of snoop dog.

Maybe a few cone heads from yesteryear might watch

It’s a pretty bad joke that they hold NFP status … not really in the spirit of how NFPs are supposed to work.

Thought I heard on SEN that the pregame entertainment is paid for by Telstra.

it might be part or all not sure.

But yeah I get your drift, AFL could better spend the money elsewhere to support our great game.

The D-o-g-g is not going to influence in any way how I spend my m-o-n-e-y or where or how I watch the game or if I watch it all.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
